I went ahead and got the update from opera.com. Tried out media background play with YouTube and audio not only kept playing when the tab was in the background, but when Opera itself was in the background.

RE: YouTube doesn't work anymore.Opera GX
@andrew84 That could be. It could explain why the problem I had literally came on overnight, and maybe even why it was so weirdly specific. (Videos would play unless I was trying to play them in a youtube.com tab that saw me as signed in.) It could also explain why they are working again, as of now. (I'm 6 hours behind CEST, if that matters.)
Anyway, "try to update the adblock lists" and/or "wait for an update to the adblock lists" may be something to put on the list of things to try when something like this happens.

RE: Opera updates with a redesigned History, new Themes, and an experimental featureBlogs
One thing I've noticed in both the sidebar view and full view is that history from today (Wednesday September 17, -0400) is shown with the label "Yesterday - Tuesday 16, 2025". The history is accurate, it's just shown as being from the day before it was actually from. Far more annoying, at least to me as someone who prefers using the sidebar view, is that the sidebar view has stopped showing the title of the page, and only shows the domain. Since this is useless when trying to find a specific page when there are several pages from the same domain, which can and does happen when I've opened several tabs for a site, it makes the sidebar's History view largely useless to me.

RE: Opera updates with a redesigned History, new Themes, and an experimental featureBlogs
@andrew84 Disabling the #history-redesign flag does make a difference. It also clears up the issue of history from any given day being shown with the previous day's date. That was more irritating than anything else, and I'd adjusted to it, but it's nice to know that it was due to the redesign.
