@aleksod correct, that article is wrong (on more than one point). It looks like the journalist didn't actually use Opera before writing the article

RE: Opera 54.0.2952.41: Streaming videos don't work anymoreOpera for Linux
@fjuk We don't 'choose' to limit this functionality. Unfortunately there are complicated legal restrictions around distributing support for H264 video decoding, and it comes down to 'we can't give you this functionality ourselves'.
Therefore we rely on others to give it to you. On Windows and Mac, it's the operating system that provides libraries that do H264 decoding, and Opera uses those. On Linux it's a bit more complicated, but it comes down to 'we use what Chromium uses except we can't give it to you ourselves'.
Unfortunately this means that now and then, when the library Chromium uses changes, Opera needs a certain minimum version of the library to be able to work with it. The rule of thumb is that Opera can always use a library if it's the same version as the Chromium version Opera is based on (check opera://about to see which Chromium it's based on), and sometimes older versions, depending on when Chromium last changed the library. Since the library changed in Chromium 67 / Opera 54, we currently can't use older ones.
While we are waiting for the stable package to be updated in Ubuntu's repositories, if you want a more official, Ubuntu-supplied up-to-date version of the codecs package, there's a package available for Cosmic Beaver which is already at Chromium 67. You can find it here: https://packages.ubuntu.com/cosmic/chromium-codecs-ffmpeg-extra .

RE: [Solved]Video playback issues with MacOS CatalinaOpera for Mac
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

RE: How to disable Auto-Update in the MacOS version, for those who need that.Opera for Mac
You can also set the environment variable
OPERA_AUTOUPDATE_DISABLED
. This works on all platforms.For Opera 32 and newer, you can use a global Apple preference. From Terminal, enter one of these commands:
For stable:
defaults write com.operasoftware.Opera OPDisableAutoUpdate true
For beta:
defaults write com.operasoftware.OperaNext OPDisableAutoUpdate true
For developer:
defaults write com.operasoftware.OperaDeveloper OPDisableAutoUpdate true

RE: "We Could Not Install Opera On Your Mac. Click Try Again After Checking Your Connection"Opera for Mac
Hi, there should be a link there saying something like "Get Offline Installer", this should help you in case the installer has problems downloading. Just click it and download what comes next
If that doesn't work, here's a full link to the offline installer: http://www.opera.com/download/get/?partner=www&opsys=MacOS

RE: Instant search box gone?Opera for computers
@burnout426 This is correct, we could see from our statistics that the number of users actually using Instant Search was negligible, even despite its prominent place in the Sidebar and various attempts to hint users at its existence.
However, we got a lot of positive comments about the 'Search in Tabs' associated feature which was until now a more hidden part of Instant Search.
That's why we have - with some regret - removed Instant Search, but kept (and made more prominent) the search-in-tabs feature.
@pilgi3 I'm sorry, sometimes hard decisions need to be taken. I hope you'll still enjoy Opera's other features. And I'm also hoping that maybe an extension developer feels like reviving a floating search bar as an extension

RE: Opera eats 60% cpu while I input text in address bar.Opera for Windows
@propheta Alright, thanks. It is on for some people who are in a test group, so I thought we could narrow down the cause if you happened to be in that group.
Could you make a video of the freeze happening and upload it somewhere to get a better idea of what you're seeing on your end?

RE: Opera eats 60% cpu while I input text in address bar.Opera for Windows
Is address-bar-dropdown-cities enabled for you in opera://flags?
If so, could you disable it (and re-enable address-bar-dropdown-categories) to see if that's where the problem is?

@darkchaplain: Thank you, we've reproduced the bug with keyboard shortcuts. It has been reported as DNA-98231.

RE: Opera 86 developerBlogs
@darkchaplain: A setting for it has been implemented, it wasn't in time for this developer release but you'll see it next time.
It's killing my workflow multiple times a day, especially since just hovering the mouse in the wrong spot disables keyboard shortcuts.
This is a bug, can you expand a bit on this? What platform are you on and which keyboard shortcuts get disabled?

RE: Opera 85.0.4338.0 developer updateBlogs
I can suspect that if the enhanced address bar is enabled in Settings and Address bar dropdown categories is enabled by default there are two panels appear at the same time(Dropdown categories over the BABE , that's why it looks flickering while appearing)
This is not the issue. The flickering is happening because suggestions are coming in and being added to the view while the view is already shown.
