Opera 79 Beta

thelittlebrowserthatcould last edited byI expected unplayable video rather than page crashes due to an outdated video codec problem.
Anyway, from https://repo.herecura.eu/herecura/x86_64/ I downloaded opera-beta-ffmpeg-codecs-93.0.4577.18-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst and extracted libffmpeg.so which was then placed in Opera's installation directory (opened as Root).

@thelittlebrowserthatcould: thanks for the hint!
I was about to downgrade to opera beta 78...
I actually use the codecs from https://github.com/iteufel/nwjs-ffmpeg-prebuilt but somehow I missed the new version (0.55.0, I'm on 0.50.0).

Damn, nwjs-ffmpeg-prebuilt 0.55.0 doesn't work with chromium 93, I'll try opera-beta-ffmpeg-codecs-93.0.4577.18.

Right, it seems to be the libffmpeg workaround. I am using the workaround from https://forums.opera.com/topic/37539/solving-the-problem-of-the-opera-browser-with-video-playback-in-ubuntu-and-similar-distributions-linux-mint-kde-neon
Switching back to the original libffmpeg solves the crashes, but then some videos can't be played... -

Using https://repo.herecura.eu/herecura/x86_64/opera-beta-ffmpeg-codecs-93.0.4577.18-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst
solves the codec problem. What is wrong with the libffmpeg snap compatibility? -
kened Banned last edited byI've noticed that Microsoft Edge is getting more and more like Opera. They have been incorporating several Opera features into the Edge, gradually. For example: news on speed dial, weather widget, animated wallpapers, snapshot tool in address bar with integrated mini editor, even highlighting the address bar in blue is almost the same.
