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

@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 .

Moving islands to workspaces, closing island, muting islands and saving island tabs as speed dial / pinboard are on the way.

@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

@gik-team: It's being worked on, we're resolving problems with video playback on content-protected steaming sites.

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

Hi @verpag, you're not the only one, but so far I haven't seen how it happens

You can get it back like this: click View -> Show Toolbar in Full Screen Mode in the menu.

@mrmatteastwood Install http://launchpadlibrarian.net/345863538/chromium-codecs-ffmpeg-extra_62.0.3202.94-0ubuntu0.16.04.1317_amd64.deb (you can upgrade it again to the most recent version once Opera 51 stable has been released).

The problem is that Chromium was updated to 64, and the chromium-codecs-ffmpeg-extra package that comes with Chromium 64 only works with Opera >=51.

The other way around as well: Opera 51 will only work with chromium-codecs-ffmpeg-extra >=64, so once Opera 51 has been released and you've updated, you'll have to upgrade this package again.

@andrew84: This is how it is very much designed to work - similar to the app switcher you have in your OS (Alt+Tab on Windows, Cmd+Tab on Mac) and also similar to how this feature already worked with a different UI in Opera before.

If you prefer to cycle tabs in visual order, you can do this - as before - by disabling the option "Cycle tabs in most recently used order" in settings.

defaults write com.operasoftware.Opera OPDisableAutoUpdate true

This should be what you're looking for :). If it worked, Opera will tell you "Update checker is disabled" when you go to Opera -> About Opera.

@burnout426: Does running Opera with --enable-unsafe-webgpu make it work or same?

Your GPU and the driver you're using can be important here.

Nice idea @cryintonight !

I can't promise anything, just wanted to say your mockup looks cool

Moving islands to workspaces, closing island, muting islands and saving island tabs as speed dial / pinboard are on the way.

@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?

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?

@andrew84: Can you say when this feature gets in the way for you?

@andrew84: Can you describe these issues (or show a video)?

@johnd78: It's a bug, thank you!

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

@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?
