Many of the changes in this release ranging from crash fixes and UI refinements to improvements in features like Picture-in-Picture, sidebar behavior, and tab handling, were previously introduced and tested in the Developer channel.

        BUG-21893 - The dialog box for adding a page or folder to the bookmarks bar extends beyond the monitor borders.
        The issue no longer exists in version 131.0.5877.5.
        This is fantastic!

          Hello! Bugs: Opera AI highlighter looks bad. It should look like it does in Neon browser. It's perfect there.
          The part above looks ugly.
          40a8e44d-7803-404a-8c57-4c4c5c4b298e-image.png
          In the simple settings menu, the blue line only appears when I move the mouse there, otherwise it doesn't. It should always be there.

          In the history menu at the top of the search bar, the word "between" no longer fits. The word is cut off.

            It was too early to rejoice 😞

            The same problem on version Opera One (version: 131.0.5877.5)

              For a complete rundown, take a look at the changelog.

              the changelog contains a single entry.
              2026-04-29_164929.png

              Overall, this release focuses on stability, polish, and delivering tested improvements.

              Yes, 'stability'. And you release it with the known crash https://forums.opera.com/post/401861

              And the 'known' gap between sidebar and panels mentioned in the latest 131 developer.

              Many other bugs mentioned previously stay unfixed for months or years and extra bugs are collected by Stable version, like a snowball!

              After deprecating Beta channel bugs go directly to stable.

                Thumbnails now get a small pix wide stripe at the bottom which is grey. Why? Looks off and annoying. Reverting to Opera stable 130.0.5847.92. Hope that gets fixed...

                    @steeveboy Look at the changelog. They were aware about multiple issues (including crash, the white line at the tile's bottom not a big problem actually) a week ago in developer version. But didn't bother fixing it even partially during the week and released the Stable with all the known issues directly from developer.

                      I don't know how it looks in Neon but you can try the new upcoming redesigned popup by enabling the #search-tooltip-v2 flag.
                      Personally, I don't like it because it's more complicated in use.

                        Windows 11 25H2 Build 26200.8426 AMD 8700G 64GB Ram, Opera 131 works my system a lot harder, system fan is running more, I have uninstalled and gone back to Opera 130 and system is running fine.
                        I also run Brave which is updated and the system runs fine.

                          Happy browsing? Not so much with the slow launch time. But at least my screen isn't white.
                          Logging in to post with my saved email address and password was not a smooth process.

                            Here (on quite slow PC on Win 10) Edge starts about 2-3 times faster than Opera under the same conditions (almost clean profile + same extensions installed).
                            Edge has a bit more history data + start page extension from MS store (speed dial) but still faster (Startup boost in Settings is disabled).

                                Maybe the first is just a pinned Google-Tab from a previous session? Try unpinning it, then close it. Try a restart. Then it should be gone.

                                Otherwise it seems like a bug, if it is not a pinned tab.

                                    Try a clean install. Otherwise try a previous Opera Version.

                                    Never had such a behaviour.

                                    If it happens again and again, just file a bug-report and send it to Opera. Maybe you can test it with another PC or Laptop, then at least you know it is your special configuration.

                                    Hope a dev answers your post soon directly, I'm also interested in this one.

                                    Could also be a corrupt installation of the OS, so that TEMP-files mess up in the background. But better let the devs speak for themselves...

                                      @theory65-0 right click on the first one - unpin tab. Or simply, right click - close tab

                                      It happens every time you open Opera?

                                        @theory65-0 Someone on Reddit had this and it was one of their extensions that was causing it.

                                          Me again

                                          Hi! Based on your screenshot, if it's not a standard pinned tab, here are three likely causes and how to fix them:

                                          1. "On Startup" Settings
                                            Google might be set as a static startup page in addition to your normal session.

                                          Go to opera://settings/onStartup.

                                          Check if "Open a specific page or set of pages" is selected and if Google is listed there.

                                          If so, remove the entry or switch back to "Retain tabs from previous session".

                                          1. Modified Shortcut Target
                                            Sometimes the URL is accidentally added to the Opera shortcut itself.

                                          Right-click your Opera shortcut (on Desktop or Taskbar) and select Properties.

                                          Look at the "Target" field. It should end with opera.exe". If there is a URL (like https://www.google.com) behind the quotes, delete it.

                                          1. Corrupt Session Files
                                            If a session file is bugged, it might "freeze" tabs and force them to reopen every time.

                                          Go to opera://about to find your Profile path.

                                          Close Opera completely.

                                          Navigate to that folder and delete the "Sessions" subfolder. (Note: This will clear all currently open tabs, but it usually fixes persistent "ghost" tabs).

                                          Bonus tip: Since Opera 131 uses Tab Islands, check if that Google icon is actually the start of a collapsed "Island." Try right-clicking the icon and selecting "Separate from Island" or "Close Tab Island."

                                          Hope this helps!
