      Most videos don't work. If I copy libffmpeg.so from Chrome it works correctly. So it's a problem with the video codecs.

      There are a lot of people complaining about this problem since version 66. It is simply impossible to use Opera until this problem is fixed.

      Below are some of the references I found on the forum itself.

        @dudubroering See https://forums.opera.com/post/150324. It's a legal issue, so there is nothing to be fixed, technically speaking.
