Dear Opera Team,

I'm a dedicated Opera user and greatly appreciate the integrated media player. It's a fantastic feature, but its current behavior regarding toolbar pinning is a source of repeated frustration.

Currently, every time I restart Opera, the media player's toolbar icon disappears. To reinstate it, I must: open the player from the sidebar, initiate playback, close the player window, hover over the floating player, access its options, and manually re-select "Pin to toolbar." This multi-step process is cumbersome and time-consuming, especially for frequent users who rely on the media player for extended periods.

My suggestion is to introduce a persistent "Pin to toolbar" option. This would ensure the media player icon remains visible on the toolbar across all browser sessions, eliminating the need for repetitive manual pinning. Functionality should remain consistent with the sidebar icon, allowing for seamless playback control directly from the toolbar.

This improvement would significantly enhance the user experience, streamlining media playback and reducing unnecessary steps. It would provide a more intuitive and efficient way to access and manage media content within Opera.

I believe this feature would be highly beneficial to many Opera users, simplifying their media consumption workflow. I kindly request you to consider this enhancement for future updates.

Thank you for your time and consideration.

Sincerely,
[Mr.Prince APE]

It's Opera GX.....

I've been encountering an issue with Opera on Windows lately. Certain web pages either take an extremely long time to load or don’t load at all. This seems to be exclusive to Opera, as other browsers work perfectly fine on my system. I’ve already tried clearing the cache, disabling extensions, and even reinstalling Opera, but the problem still persists.

On top of that, some HTTPS websites show a connection error, even though they open without any issues in other browsers. My internet connection is stable, so that doesn’t seem to be the cause.

Has anyone else run into this issue with Opera on Windows? Any advice on troubleshooting and fixing this would be greatly appreciated! I'm using the latest version of Opera on Windows 10. Thanks in advance for your help!

Hey everyone,

I've been using Opera on Windows 11. It freezes when I open many tabs fast. Sometimes it starts working again after a few seconds. But other times, I have to force close it.

I've tried disabling extensions and clearing the cache. But the problem still exists.

Do you have any ideas or solutions? Thanks!

I've been trying to run Windows apps on my Raspberry Pi 5. My first try was with Opera GX, but it crashed right away. I'm using Hangover to make it work since Wine was too buggy.

Then, I tried Steam from the Pi Store, and it worked well. Feeling brave, I downloaded EVE: Space Colony Simulator. It looked like it might work, but then I needed Microsoft .NET.

After downloading .NET, the installation got stuck. So, I had to find another way to install it manually.

Next, I thought, why not try Opera GX again? (Yeah, I'm a bit obsessed). This time, I used the C: version instead of Z:. It almost worked, but the textures got all mixed up and glitchy.

If any developers or tech experts are here, how can I get these .exe files to run right? I feel like I'm almost there, but I need a little help to cross the finish line.

Thanks in advance, and have a great day!
