R2 hangs hard on my current tab set. Will try trimming it and re-upgrading.

I don't know how the Opera team keeps this idiot as a moderator. Opera team, you should choose your moderators better. I'm almost giving up on cooperating with browser development, because of this idiot. He looks like a grumpy kid. @kmielczarczyk

Sore?

I've always found Leo great.

My bookmarks bar keeps disappearing. It can be restored from Settings.

How do I turn off Aria? The icon covers my comments in FB.

Been using 4864 for about 18 months. Had to update because Chrome is blocking extensions for older browsers.

5067 was a pig on my 4GB laptop but 5076 is a dream. It's the first build I've tried since 4864 which matches its memory management in low memory situations ie good at releasing memory and good at using unused memory when needed. It might even be better at it than 4864.
I have lost my search engines but can perhaps manually migrate them. [Yes I'm trying to upgrade my memory]

@leocg: So in spite of the script being uninstalled from Tampermonkey and Tampermonkey itself being uninstalled, it still leaves the script here:

C:\Users\User\AppData\Roaming\Opera Software\Opera Developer\Default\Extensions\ppldhdmhmdcedddamaddkbbakkfhgeeo\36.9.8.0_0\script.js

The extension directory shouldn't even be there as far as I know. Deleting it fixes the problem.

This looks like longstanding bugs in both Tampermonkey and Opera, possibly only with scripts as complex as that. The script is here: https://www.fbpurity.com/test/fbpurity36.9.8.user.js?fbclid=IwAR1-9l-8wUsgnlWE8d5FrcXZHZ28DqkHP3ainGWOHZWSR7ywfcqCKxFLTy8

I am using 102.0.4864.0 though, in spite of of the recent bloat improvements on the 104 releases.

@leocg: @leocg: Opera complains that Tampermonkey Chrome has malicious code and won't install it.
The Opera version has again installed an FB Purity script, but only after I told it not to. It is now installed when it's being told not to, when Tampermonkey is disabled and when Tampermonkey is uninstalled. I have looked everywhere for where this script is installed and am now going to have to search my hard drive for a line in a script.

Amazing. Only just seen this. Promote it on social media. It's weird enough that people will talk about it.

Has anyone got Bing AI to work on Opera yet? They apparently opened it to Chrome. Bing AI is the best of the publicly available LLMs, largely because it can read the internet.

@el-puzo: The current one is OK but I thought the previous one was really good. Maybe Opera can make it a community project.

Regression, presumably in Chromium. Opera processes aren't releaseing their memory in low memory situations again.

@ralf-brinkmann: FB fixed? Server-side or Opera Blink still has UserJS?

@ralf-brinkmann: The problem seems to have gotten worse. www.facebook.com is currently unusable from 4857.

@vegelund: I like it. Taste is personal.

@ralf-brinkmann: Confirmed. A fresh load of the page works but anything from cache breaks.

The extension permissions message has been slowly driving me nuts.

It's fricking Aria, an extension which is normally hidden. This should be posted somewhere prominent, or make Aria show in the normal extensions list.

@leocg: @leocg: Your patience here deserves recognition.

@ralf-brinkmann: Unusable release, at least here. NSL problems everywhere.

It's the first time in a decade I had to use another browser to download an old version of Opera.

Bing AI both uses the internet to research its responses and cites valid articles in that response.

This is invaluable for both checking its responses, adding citations to your writing and doing deeper reading.

This is what Opera Software should be aiming at.

Aria> I'm sorry, I don't have an answer for that.

2 replies later, Aria recognised the URL and performed the task.

I'm familiar with Bing AI. Is Aria ChatGPT 3.5 or 4?

@joannaczajka: Windows. https://prnt.sc/aD_5wCJTadXo

Whilst using less memory for the sleeping tabs (and I use Marvellous Suspender), Opera's main threads seem quite hungry and don't let go of memory quickly enough. I often find I can randomly kill threads in Task Manager (all but the top 2) to reclaim memory.
