But what about all those egregious micro-lending Opera apps you've released in third world countries?.. It's hard to imagine that 300+% interest rates on loans would be good to those impoverished people in Africa and South America...

Snooze inactive tabs exceptions list neededOpera for computers
The feature itself is great, and it allows us to keep a lot of tabs open for later use without closing them. However, there is an annoying side effect that is severe enough to make me disable that feature for now:
I usually have GMail, and several messengers open, such as Hangouts and Duo... When you don't activate their tabs for a while, they snooze, and you won't receive any message notifications, or incoming calls, from them... It breaks any web app that has to be active in the background during normal operation...
There has to be a configurable exception list for such pages... It can be preloaded with known messenger and email services... Ideally, there should be an option when you right-click a tab - "Never snooze tab", to quickly add it to the list... -

RE: Snooze inactive tabs exceptions list neededOpera for computers
@leocg I know I can disable it, and I did disable it... All I want to say is that the feature will be usable only if it doesn't interfere with tabs that have to be always active in the background, such as messengers and mail clients...
Something like opera://discards, but the browser should remember the auto-discard setting per domain name... Right now, if you close the tab, and open it again, auto-discard is enabled by default... -

[O36] Google Hangouts doesn't work in HTML5/WebRTC modeFuture releases
Approximately after Google has announced that Hangouts is going to use Peer-to-Peer connections via WebRTC for voice and video, video calls have stopped working in HTML5 mode.
It shows some generic error for a moment, and offers to install the plugin.
If you have disabled NPAPI plugins completely, like I did, for security reasons, there is no way to use Hangouts for video calls at all.Reported as DNA-49795

[O36] Huge frame drops on YouTubeFuture releases
Since we don't have the flag that disables the "new" compositor-driven rendering path for video elements. I'm having the problem with YouTube HTML5 player.
If you play the video and start hovering your mouse cursor above any link (relevant videos, channel name, etc) you'll get huge frame drops. Enable 'stats for nerds'. I began to experience this problem when the new rendering path has been implemented. Then I disabled it in 'opera:flags' to make video playback smooth again. But now there's no option to disable it, and the video stutters every time I scroll or move the mouse in wrong places.Reported as DNA-49794
