@keen-operatic It's known, it's a bug in Opera when using it with Catalina. It'll be fixed in the next update.

Can you give an example of a site on which video freezes?

Yep, something related to the traffic lights changed in Catalina :). A fix for this is being tested right now and will reach your stable version of Opera soon.

@atls it's probably better if you open a new thread for this, it's not related to the problem described in this thread so far. For those interested, that problem was due to a problem with the Widevine DRM plugin, which is used by e.g. Netflix and Amazon Prime to protect their content, but not by YouTube.

You can change it right in the menu. Click 'Opera', then uncheck 'Warn before quitting (⌘Q)'.

Just to be completely clear, many of you mentioned it already but an update with a fix for this issue was released yesterday. You can see the full changelog at https://blogs.opera.com/desktop/2019/10/opera-64-0-3417-61-stable-update/ .

@burberrys Yes it's what @leocg suggested, just replace true with false

We're aware of the issue and it'll be fixed in the next update to Opera.

For people struggling with automatic update, it's much easier to disable it like this (and easy to revert later too):

Open Terminal.app and write

defaults write com.operasoftware.Opera OPDisableAutoUpdate true

Hi @alfredwallace , we're aware of the problem and it'll be solved in the next minor update to Opera.

Hi @avygravy , have you tried re-installing the latest version from opera.com?
