      What's the point of this magnifying glass icon in the address bar on start page? It does nothing when I click and disappears after typing..

      Maybe it should be just like a part of the text 'Enter search or web address'?

        @andrew84 For your h.264 hardware-acceleration issue, have you tried disabling the opera://flags/#enable-media-foundation-video-capture flag to see if it makes any difference?

        This post is why I ask. (Tried to send you a chat message instead of posting in this blog post, but you have that restricted.)

          @burnout426 Hi, I'm very thankful for the info.
          I tried disabling the flag but it doesn't work - still WMFVideoDecoder is used. The same in Chrome with the flag disabled (but FFmpegVideoDecoder)

            Sometimes I click a subpage of the actual page and click a downloadlink (like here https://vivaldi.com/blog/desktop/snapshots/ to get the newest snapshot) and then want to go back, while the download is still running. But it's not possible and I receive a warning sound. I have to wait until the download finished, then I can go on.

              @ralf-brinkmann I've just tried and everything worked fine, I could go back to previous page while download was running.

                @leocg As I wrote: Sometimes. On different pages. And sometimes a page crashes with "Out of memory". But I haven't yet recognized any rule.

                    This version seems to both use more memory and fail to leave enough for basic operations. I can move a mouse on this version of Opera and my YouTube video playing in the background will skip.
                    Partly also because of tab problem, I'm reverting.

                            @ralf-brinkmann:

                            Happens here when a facebook page is opened in a background tab.
                            CPU and memory usage drop by clicking on that tab.

                              @dnzrzx34 I think it happens here on pages mit many photos, like in Facebook or on similar pages. In my case these pages were always in the foreground. I was reading an scrolling on them.
                              I have just installed the last stable version to compare the behavior there.

                                @ralf-brinkmann I don't think it's memory leaks. I suspect the new version of Chromium, and that Facebook simultaneously became even more bloated.

                                I reverted to the prior version and the problem is still evident albeit much reduced.

                                  I guess this is an incorrect behavior that if the browser was closed with more than one tab opened, next time it shows in SearchTabs that there was window closed with 'x' tabs (and if I click, it will be opened in new window respectively).
                                  In previous versions works correctly.

                                          Oh no, this new (Windows) version is not usable for me.

                                          If I want to cycle through the tabs using the keyboard it takes several seconds for Opera to react at all and change the tab. Then the complete screen (the tab window of the maximized Opera) turns black and remains that way for several seconds. When an image appears again, I only see an empty tab window with no content. Only the address bar with the correct URL is still recognizable. Reloading the tab does not change anything.

                                            What have you done? Instead of fixing the dark mode (https://forums.opera.com/post/266816 )you returned both grey menu background and the ugly white contrasting selection in .4239
