@erdinc53 I believe it will be supported as long as Chromium will allow doing this 'officially' (using open workarounds). When all the workarounds will be blocked by chromium, it'll mean the end of support. Hard to believe they'll spend efforts (taking into account the AI and Themes hype) to modify or implement extra code to extend the support. Just my thoughts.

RE: Opera 123 developerBlogs
@pilis00 there it is https://blogs.opera.com/news/2025/09/mv2-extensions-opera/
But, personally, the answer is not clear for me.

RE: Yes, you can still use MV2 extensions on Opera: What you need to knowBlogs
There's no clear answer in the article what will happen when chromium 140 version will reach Opera?
It's obvious that currently it's possible to use it because Opera is 3 versions behind actual chrome version.
Even 140 Chrome version still allows using MV2 using different workarounds.
foreseeable future means 2-3 months and then as long as the same workaround will be working in Opera?In Edge 140 it works currently by default, without extra steps.

RE: Opera 123 developerBlogs
- make the 'recently closed' section optional on history page
- if there are no matches after using the smaller search field, after jumping to top the main search field not in focus so need to click yo retype. Also, there's closing cross overlapping the top sites button.
*Still don't understand the idea of the double search fields which causes issues and wastes a lot of space on top. The one always visible search field is an optimal solution,

RE: Opera 121Blogs
@P1tzO There was such flag (#video-popout-redesign) but recently it was removed. Despite of multiple complaints there's still no improvements regarding the 'redesigned' PiP.

RE: Opera 120.0.5543.201 Stable updateBlogs
@Opera-QA-Team Wasn't the 117500 (I used search ) referring to the window dragging bug while cursor is on the 1px content border and only on Linux?
So the 1px all around content border is not a visual bug at all but intended (horrible) design feature.
I'm not sure I can confirm here (Win 10) the issue posted by @pilis00 because on the screenshot there's some additional white or light gray line in dark mode, here I don't see it (I have the 1px border for sure but it's black in dark mode so barely visible. ). -

History Redesign: We’ve polished and updated our history feature
It's still bad (the both sidebar panel and full page).
- As for the sidebar.
I was complaining earlier that the History/Bookmarks panel shouldn't react on page default zoom in Settings. I use 125% and it means more scrolling. Now the 'redesigned' History panel is even larger. Taking into account the filters on top and items having the large vertical spacing I see twice less items in the redesigned panel. And still 'recently closed' on top. - There's no option to open full page. On the old one there was option at the bottom and the icon on top.
*I think it'll be enough making the 'History' as link to open the full page
-
the search fields are poor.
It's simply not clickable and focusable to type if clicking not directly on the tip's text area. The same is on the full page.
-
search text is still cut (because of being shifted to the left each time) after pressing spacebar (in all the redesigned search fields).
-
If there's no matches, the page still jumps on top and it's not possible to continue typing/delete text because the search field on top is not in focus.
- As for the sidebar.

RNA-228 Enable #color-theme-extra-palettes on all streams
What palette? Where it possible to check?
I thought it's something related to the 'edit' theme dialog colors. -
RE: Manifest v3 OperaOpera for computers
@Destroy666 said in Manifest v3 Opera:
official statements about it.
There was one positive (relatively old, about a year). https://blogs.opera.com/news/2024/10/opera-support-manifest-v2-ad-blocking/
*Also, here I have Edge Stable on 139 version already and uBlock still works. So it seems it's really possible to support even after 138 version if opera is really concerned regarding this.

@krishnakrverma Last time I did this I got a weird response and the thread was immediately locked. So I decided not to annoy in the main article

RE: Opera 122.0.5621.0 developer updateBlogs
Am I wrong or the things described in the News article https://blogs.opera.com/news/2025/08/opera-brazil-cade-complaint/
Is a bit similar to what Opera does regarding the search engines? I mean that on start page search engine locked to google and default one can be selected only from predefined list, predefined can't be removed or rearranged. -
RE: Opera 122.0.5621.0 developer updateBlogs
@burnout426 I don't have the crash but I'm on Win10 and my History is almost clean, But if they aware, it means they determined the issue.
*My only guess is that smth. related to the new History page. Maybe it's worth trying to disable 'redesigned' flag and check. -
RE: Opera 122.0.5621.0 developer updateBlogs
@Opera-QA-Team what's the point to report new suggestions if old ones issues are still not fixed or improved for months or even years.

Whatever feature is 'redesigned' recently means the feature is broken/complicated in use

RE: Opera Listens: Introducing New Community-Inspired Themes to Opera OneBlogs
@DerSchlingel said in Opera Listens: Introducing New Community-Inspired Themes to Opera One:
I'm glad they've introduced this rather calm and flat dark theme
I guess the same result can be achieved using the classic theme (edited) in dark mode.
@DerSchlingel said in Opera Listens: Introducing New Community-Inspired Themes to Opera One:
I feel they're slowing down my laptop and all these sounds in the background or when typing are no music to my ears. But maybe I'm just too old for this kind of stuff.
I have the same opinion.
Instead of introducing more and more predefined themes it'd better to improve the editing and customizing options, currently it's very limited.
I don't understand why there's is such big attention is paying. The themes creating tool should be open source so enthusiasts can create a bunch of cool themes. And there can be dedicated section on the opera addons page. -
RE: Opera 122.0.5615.0 developer updateBlogs
@andrew84 another one thing I noticed is that when selecting the predefined anchors, the list looks partially hidden and thus actually selected category is wrong.
So I click 'Yesterday' but the list's top is hidden and the bold text is for 'Older' category.
After I move cursor and scroll to the top of the 'yesterday' list, the category is automatically changing (bold text) to the correct one ('yesterday').
*So I click on one category but visually it shows that another (wrong one) was selected.

RE: Opera 122.0.5615.0 developer updateBlogs
In overall, I really don't get why there should be so huge search field (appearing/disappearing and causing glitches ) and thus wasted space on top.
Simply make it static (dedicated a bit) next to categories bubbles.
*Also, it'd be nice to have more predefined options to select like 'last week' and 'last month' and 'All'. If I don't mistake, it used to be in the past.
**Also, I think that 'remove entire domain' option should have some confirmation popup. -
RE: Opera 122.0.5615.0 developer updateBlogs
@Opera-QA-Team said in Opera 122.0.5615.0 developer update:
As for the search issues: it sounds like after typing three characters, if there are no matches, the history list updates and the input goes back to its default (larger) version. If that’s what’s happening, it’s expected behavior - but we’ll take another look to make sure everything's working smoothly.
just try search on old version and it'll be clear that the search is broken on the redesigned one.

After some manipulations I can type more character (what's obvious)
*it's quite funny that recently you started trying to present obvious flaws as intended ones (maybe again thanks to AI).

Redesigned history page (still smoothing out a few bugs)
- The recently closed section on top should be optional.
- categories bubbles have not obvious selection indication. The tiny border is not enough.
it'd be better using the filled inverted bubble like on downloads page.
- the search is glitchy
-
the big one search field cuts text after pressing space and then the search field becomes partially responsible
-
after scrolling down and using the small one it allow here to enter three symbols and then jumps to the big one above and prevents typing
-
In other words, after typing the field's width becomes too small.
