<![CDATA[Opera GX v104.0.4944.70 hides a bizarre 8MB video]]>So, Opera GX v104.0.4944.70 was released just to bundle an 8MB bizarre comedy video inside opera_gx_splash.exe, really?

Instead, security updates next time, please.

See the video here

Opera has long become a browser to be avoided, except for one or other feature, just like any other thing made only for invasive marketing purposes.

I'm glad GX still uses the not-so-broken traditional UI, now that "Opera One" UI is a broken and unusable thing since its birth.

This is the result of this video being included in splash.exe in addition to the other two normal tiny videos used in the splash screen.

Just extracted it from "opera_gx_splash.exe". "Opera GX!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

If you do a search, you will see that it's known that this file is the one for the startup animation.

Anyway, 8MB is totally irrelevant.

You can notice the installer size increase:

Opera_GX_104.0.4944.60_Setup_x64.exe = 133,65 MB (140.138.816 bytes)
Opera_GX_104.0.4944.70_Setup_x64.exe = 142,80 MB (149.735.248 bytes)

This is the result of this video being included in splash.exe in addition to the other two normal tiny videos used in the splash screen.
