<![CDATA[Whatsapp audio on sidebar]]>Hello.

Before, when I listened to an audio on WhatsApp on the sidebar, I could keep on listening to it even if I began browsing on another site on the main bar. Now, if I click outside the sidebar, the audio stops playing. This changed a few months ago and it’s driving me crazy! I’m from Brazil, we only use WhatsApp, it’s not ideal to have to keep looking at the conversation while listening to a 3-minute audio. Please at least implement an option to turn this on and off.

Thanks!!

Why remove a useful thing? After many years, I'm almost fully moving from Opera to Brave.

I work with technology for many years now, and I still don't understand why the developers remove some functionalities and resources from OS, Mobile Apps, softwares in general! It is annoying!

The biggest issue is that we keep using because of the others functionalities of opera that are better than the others browsers... I work with technology for many years and until today I don't know why every single software and app, or OS, remove some functionalities in some new version or update simply from nowhere! It is annoying!
