        @linuc the only workaround I found so far is to use the opera-beta package for twitter, reddit, whatsapp web, my homebanking app, etc 😕

          i guess this will work.

          click alt

          select update an recovery

          recover it, and reset everything

          and i guess that will work.

          i had many problems with opera and this worked for me.

            @operauserx thanks, I tried the reset option but it didn't fix the problem, whatsapp web crashes as soon as I open the page

              you tried this?

              if yes, then try signing out of whatsapp and signing in back.

              try deleting cookies and cache for whatsapp

                @operauserx yes, I tried that option

                it's not specific to whatsapp web though, it's a general thing that happens on many websites (twitter -sometimes-, whatsapp web, heroku's website -though not in heroku's dashboard-, reddit -sometimes-, my home banking website, I couldn't find a pattern between all those sites, some has videos, some have service workers, some has none, some work for some time and then crash)

                just tried clearing cookies or cache for whatsapp and it didn't fix the problem either

                  I think it's related to the ffmpeg hack to get videos working on linux (linked in the first comment), but the same libffmpe.so file is being used with opera-beta and it doesn't crash, so I imagine it's something with opera that will get fixed by itself eventually?

                    Opera 81 (Chromium 95) and Opera 82 (Chromium 96) uses different versions of libffmpeg.so
                    And even if newer versions of libffmpeg.so are usually compatible with older versions of Opera, this time backward compatibility is broken. So Opera 82 doesn't work with libffmeg.so for Opera 81, and Opera 81 doesn't work with libffmpeg.so for Opera 82.

                    Opera 81 requires version 0.58.0 and Opera 82 requires 0.59.0

                      @styen I see I have chromium 96 installed, and opera beta is 82

                      I'll try downgrading chromium to version 95 to see if that fixes the crashes, thanks!

                        @styen thank you! it seems to be working now!

                        for reference, I was not able to downgrade chromium but following this guide https://gist.github.com/Thomas-Ln/c4ae803e90f9984b6612c8983c8fde1f I got the libffmpeg.so from the .deb package for version 95.0.4638.69 of chromium-codecs-ffmpeg-extra

                        I'm using libffmpeg.so from chromium 96 on opera-beta and libffmpeg.so from chromium 95 in opera-stable
