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.

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.

@abitkulova Thank you. I'm not in a great rush to update, but plan to now that I know I can.

@leocg said in Opera for Android 91:

@cska133 That you will need at least Android 10 to run Opera

I have Android 11 Go, and when I tap the "Update available" button in the Opera menu, I am taken to Google Play, where I am told that "This app isn't compatible with your device anymore." Since version 90 still works as it always has, which is fine for what I use it for, I'm not really upset at not being able to update to 91. However, what I'm seeing from Google Play is inconsistent with what you're saying.

BTW, I didn't know about the update until the button appeared in the menu, which happened today.

@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.

For me, what started happening today was that YT videos would not play in a normal window, where I was signed in, but would play in a private window., where I was not signed in. When I went back to the normal window and signed out, videos would play, but after I signed back in, they wouldn't play until after I disabled ad blocking for YT.

In the end, YT videos will play in a window where I'm signed in, if I bypass ad blocking for YT, but the same videos will play in a private window or as embeds, even if ad blocking is enabled for YT. Argh!

As far as I know, I entered all information properly, and I know I entered my card information properly, but payment was declined. Any ideas on why that would happen, and what, if anything, I could do about it?

In my own test, Opera did list speed dial results in the dropdown - and they even had a little speed dial icon next to them. But I only saw one when I should have seen more, so it doesn't seem to be very good. (That was using the Developer version.)

As far as I can tell, the address bar dropdown seems to list speed dial results mixed in with results from bookmarks and history and whatever else it searches, and there doesn't seem to be a way of controlling just what it lists.

Thank you! Adding the switch is not a problem now that I know about it.

While I was thinking about whether or not to update to Opera 34, I was disturbed to find that the decision had been made for me, with no prompting as to whether I wanted it, and no notification that it was being done or had been done. I only noticed because the label on the desktop icon changed from "Opera 33" to "Opera 34".

This, IMO, is Not Good. After looking at the changelog, I might have updated to 34 ... eventually, though I saw no pressing need to do so. However, I want that to be my decision, so is there some way to keep it from happening when I don't want it to?
