My version of Opera GX is outdated and however no update has been available for over a week via the browser's internal update feature. (Windows 10 Pro, version 22h2, 64 bit)
Opera GX 102.0.4880.117 (Chromium version:116.0.5845.188)

The normal Opera browser 104.0.4944.36 (118.0.5993.118) was released two days ago.

I suspect that Opera GX is missing some bug fixes and especially updates for serious vulnerabilities that are already available for regular Opera. I am disappointed!

I feel very insecure using Opera GX and may want to switch browsers.

• Why is the state with Opera GX still only an old version available?

• Where can I find a up to date changelog for Opera GX?

• Is security not mandatory for Opera GX?

@thomas2021 Opera GX has always been one or two versions behind regular Opera and I don't think it will change anytime soon.

There is a changelog at https://forums.opera.com/topic/33033/opera-gx-update-released but it's not always up to date.

@leocg Thank you for your answers and for pointing out that the last update was only recently published. It's good to know that the browser is being kept up to date. My issue is resolved.

I saw the changelog you mentioned earlier and was confused that the last entry was from October 2.

I have the impression that I can't check on which date Opera GX received the last update. The internal updater only states that Opera is up to date.
