As a workaround disable these 2 flags and the old popup will be back.

I'm also on Win 8.1 and I have various results in different browsers (Chrome, FireFox, Vivaldi, Edge Canary on chromium).
With hardware acceleration ON it does work nowhere (small difference is in FireFox where the black screen is appearing when I click 'play' button, in other browsers no response)
With hardware acceleration OFF it plays correctly only in Chrome. It also plays in Edge, but with freezes (not smooth). In FireFox and Vivaldi is the same result as with acceleration off.

@treego you can disable #search-in-open-tabs flag to return the tab menu.

@rusmax73-10 I saw a workaround in Opera blog (http://disq.us/p/21vfkgf)
launch the Opera with the switch as follows:
\path\to\launcher.exe --save-page-as-mhtml

It works here on Win8x64

It seems that in latest Dev build the #enable-surfaces-for-videos flag was removed. So we need to hope that they will implement the controls on the new popup before the 68 version hits Stable channel.

Where's Quick Access option!???
I can't find 'enhanced address bar' flag too.

*Instead of making it compatible with the new reborn3 dropdown you've removed the whole feature??

@liandri Seems to be working here with the latest Opera 61 Dev build. I'm also on Win8.1x64. In Beta and in Stable it doesn't work.

@kmielczarczyk: Thank you for the info.
I really hope that this is a really temporary disabling (but I doubt because the flag is also removed). I liked that feature (moreover it was switchable off if somebody don't like) and it was something that other browsers don't have. And as I mentioned earlier the old dropdown is more funtional because of search engines choice at the bottom.
*One thing I didn't understand is how you gathered the statistics of using this feature? Is there some kind of telemetry is used to track my clicks on address bar/ to track toggles state in Setting?

Here this video doesn't play on Dev version with hardware acceleration OFF and I see freeze frame like in Vivaldi, but in Vivaldi(with acceleration on) the timeline looks as fully charged.
Edit: agent switching doesn't play a roll, the same with flag.

@burnout426 said in Opera 66.0.3475.0 developer update:

Vivaldi's way makes more sense

I also like that in Vivaldi the 'Clear browsing Data' popup is standalone (opens without the Settings page appearing first)

No sound here on Win 8.1x64 with Opera Dev 61.0.3296.0
In Chrome/FireFox plays with sound.

You added the new 'workspaces' feature (ok, maybe many users will find it useful), but I hope that work on the new video pop-out is in progress also.

• no caption
• no volume control
• irritating full screen dimming effect while hovering a video (only the top and the bottom part should be dimmed, like it worked previously)
• no timing
• the popup's maximum size is limited.
  

@burnout426 Ok. But maybe it would be better for Opera if their browser will have benefits comparing to other browsers.
For example, the timeline is already was added by Opera (default popup doesn't have that). Also, in latest Dev build the pop-out is not so limited in size as default one.
I checked it in Edge too, and there the dimming effect appears only at the bottom (where media controls are placed). I think Opera should do the same instead of that full dimming while video is hovered by the cursor.

@kirilkov Do you have "Show tab preview" enabled in Settings? If yes, then try disabling it and testing. If problem doesn't occur anymore, then I have a similar bug and they said it is already fixed internally.

@miblog what opera version it is? 58?
You can try going to flags (opera://flags) and make sure that the 'Partner bookmarks opt-out option' flag is set to default[E]. It makes 'Promoted bookmarks' toggle visible in Settings.
Or you cant try with a clean profile.

@burnout426: @sgunhouse: I reported it also in previous Dev build's thread (tested with common usb mouse and laptop's touchpad).

@sgunhouse I think he means that 'white' looks like blue light filter is on.

@nvmjustagirl read the topic. To get the old pop-up working without issues(freezes) two flags must be disabled. In latest Dev build one of the flags is removed and it's impossible to use the old pop-up there anymore.

If you're forcing us to use forum to post comments, I can't understand what will be the purpose of the renewed blog?
If I don't mistake, feedback from Opera team regarding bugs was much more noticeable in the blog instead of forum, including replies to suggestions (that's why I don't use forum). I don't remember for example replies in forum's 'Suggestions' topic from Opera team. If now all the attention will be focused on forum, what previously prevented Opera to be more active in their own forum instead of Disqus? It's just my opinion but I think if the blog (with Disqus system) was more popular than forum, then forum needs improvements or blog's new comments system should be even better than the Disqus (similar but Opera's own better system). Now I see the following situation when I'm forced to choose commenting system between bad (forum) and very bad (new system) for comments in the blog.

there's another similar one also in the 61's changelog
