Try to run Opera with --use-gl=desktop flag, you won't lose hardware acceleration, but black borders gone. It works on my Mint 19.3

I have the same issue, I've also tried turning off hardware accel but the settings were already off or disabled by default.
Running with NVIDIA drivers (just updated those too) but no change.
Compositor is picom.

@zweieuro There is no need to change something in Opera's flags. You have to disable "Use hardware acceleration when available" option in Menu-Settings. Another way you can try to launch Opera with --use-gl=desktop key, as it was mentioned above.

@dejwid Yup I can confirm that this works [Debian 10/Buster] (opera --use-gl=desktop), no black borders and hardware acceleration still works.

It looks like (after viewing opera://gpu/) that --use-gl=desktop disables Google ANGLE and uses the system version of GL.

Diff of opera://gpu (between default and --use-gl=desktop):

-Passthrough Command Decoder	true

+Passthrough Command Decoder	false
