Of course the should have specific days for releases, that's how serious companies work, but if they realize that an update should be released in a different day, they will do it.

If it's a major version update like 107 -> 108, maybe, but a minor Chromium update with security fixes breaking Opera's UI, then it's really poor implementation from their part. They often release a stable update on a Thursday and not any other days, it suggests that they follow a rather strict routine than being flexible with incorporating updates.

I love Opera's UI that's why it's my preferred browser, but with Chromium browsers being the most popular browsers out there, I feel like it's increasingly risky if security updates aren't prompt. I'm seriously consider switching to Firefox. I just hope the Opera Desktop team listen.

Also, they need to check if the intake doesn't mess with something before releasing a build with it.

They always have to hold off an update until a certain time of the week or a release cycle, and very often not using the latest Chromium version available for that particular version.

Please like Brave browser.
