To play YouTube videos in the background on Opera, you can use a simple workaround since YouTube's native background playback feature is limited to premium subscribers on mobile devices only. Here's how you can achieve it:

Install the Opera Extension: Go to the Opera Add-ons website (addons.opera.com) and search for an extension called "Enhancer for YouTube" or "Magic Actions for YouTube." These extensions offer various features, including background playback.

• Install the Extension: Once you find the desired extension, click on the "Add to Opera" or "Install" button to add it to your browser.

• Activate Background Playback: After installation, open a new tab, and navigate to YouTube (youtube.com). You should now see additional options or icons related to the extension near the YouTube video player.

• Enable Background Playback: Look for an icon or setting that allows you to enable background playback. This feature will let the video continue playing even if you switch to another tab or minimize the browser window.

• Start Playing a Video: Play any YouTube video of your choice. When you minimize the Opera window or switch to another tab, the video should keep playing in the background.

Please note that browser extensions can occasionally undergo changes or updates, so the names or functionalities might vary slightly at the time of your search. However, the general process remains similar for most YouTube-related extensions in Opera. Enjoy listening to your favorite YouTube content in the background while using other applications or browsing the web!

Opera didn't have a built-in option to open links in dedicated external apps like some other browsers do. However, since software and browser features are constantly being updated and improved, it's possible that Opera may have implemented this option in a newer version.

To check if this feature is available in the current version of Opera, I recommend you to do the following:

• Update Opera: Ensure that you have the latest version of Opera installed on your device. Go to the Opera website or your app store to check for updates.

• Settings: Open Opera and go to the browser settings. Look for any options related to link handling or external apps.

• Search online: If you can't find the feature in the settings, try searching online for recent Opera updates or release notes. Look for any mention of the ability to open links in external apps.

• Browser Extensions: Check if there are any browser extensions or add-ons available for Opera that provide the functionality you are looking for. Sometimes, third-party developers create extensions to add specific features to browsers.

If you can't find a built-in option or an extension that suits your needs, you might want to consider providing feedback to Opera through their official channels. Many software companies take user feedback into account when planning future updates and features.

Please keep in mind that my information might be outdated, and I don't have real-time browsing capabilities... So, I suggest checking Opera's official website or support forums for the most up-to-date information on the availability of this feature.
