      This is why we don't like auto-updates. You break things.

      You make a browser. We press Ctrl+T to websearch something or whichever reason. You put the video player in a tiny window following us around, as if to question our action to open a new tab. Are you sure you want to produce a browser with multiple tabs then? Insane.

      This would be fine if only the URL bar accepted input, such as typing "you" to open another Youtube tab, or "face" to open a new Facebook tab. But no. URL completion is thwarted by the Opt-Out feature added by You.

      So you've made us hate the new feature you added already. Is there an option? How do I turn it off? Do I have to turn it off Again, when you force another update on me? (Another _Opt-Out feature -- from which you cannot opt out...)

      Seriously, do you want 20-years faithful users to stop using your browser? Why do you do this? Add the option, let us opt in - If We Want.

        @henrikerlandsson What it has to do with the forum? Moved to the correct place.

          @henrikerlandsson The time you took to write that post was probably more than the time you would have taken to go to settings page and disable automatic video pop-out.

          And by default the pop-up video is placed in the bottom right of the screen, what doesn't interfere with the address bar.

            @leocg On the other hand, a ban is just a second's work it seems. I'll just use bold next time.

            I wanted to provide feedback on the product, not the forum. Thank you for moving it to another forum.

            I'm reporting a bug: When the new feature, a floating video player that follows you everyone, is on (which it is by default, rather than introducing the new feature and showing what it can do for you and asking if you want it), the new feature blocks entry into the URL bar. As a result, whenever you go on Youtube, where you play videos, and press Ctrl+T, you can no longer do a search engine search, reopen a playlist, or revisit a bookmark.

            I'm also reporting negative feedback for new features being default on. Ask users.

            Most users don't like floating popups that hover over your stuff. The project managers did not take a poll for this new feature. There are other things being done to Opera that keeps pushing me to abandon Opera after 20 years, but they are not on this topic.

              @henrikerlandsson See https://forums.opera.com/topic/23068/instructions-on-posting-about-problems-in-opera-for-computers/1

              As I said, I couldn't reproduce the issue here, the video pop-out doesn't affect the address bar.
