I did it: I followed the steps from the link, option 2(https://www.reddit.com/r/operabrowser/wiki/opera/linux_libffmpeg_config/), but instead of creating a new folder as mentioned at the end of the tutorial, what I did was replace the one that Opera already had with the one I took from Vivaldi. I hope it helps someone else.

RE: General Opera One Feedback TopicGeneral
My honest and brief comments about the browser:
Operating System: Linux
Usage: Daily office work for 14 days as the default browser.Advantages:
-
The design of the browser is spectacular compared to my previous browser. It is very sleek, smooth, and visually appealing.
-
The sidebar, although I also used it in my current browser, has surprised me in Opera One with additional features like aria and automatic hiding, which I appreciate.
-
Furthermore, flow and player work very well and are quite useful.
I have been pleasantly surprised by other features that I hadn't seen in other browsers. For example, the music automatically pauses when another audio is activated, which is very convenient. The battery saving feature is perfect for me. The AI prompts are interesting, although they still need some refinement, and video calls appear as pop-ups when I switch tabs.
What I didn't like or missed from my previous browser:
-
Webapps. I don't usually install applications, so I like to use webapps. Unfortunately, this version doesn't offer that option.
-
The split view was a very useful feature in my previous browser, as I could have up to 4 windows split at the same time. I would have liked to have this functionality in Opera One to facilitate my work.
-
I also missed the ability to add the apps I need to the sidebar. In this version, there are only a few apps allowed in the sidebar. At least, having quick access to Slack or Notion was something I missed while using this browser.
-
Regarding video playback on Linux, it required some workarounds to be able to view videos, which was cumbersome for someone who is not familiar with systems. I struggled a lot with this aspect.
-
The lucid mode was terrible in my opinion, as it saturates images and videos with excessive brightness, making them look worse than the original version.
-
In terms of resource consumption, I noticed that Opera One consumes at least 20% more memory than my regular browser. However, I still consider it within acceptable limits compared to heavier browsers in the same category.
-
Privacy-wise, I couldn't find any references on https://privacytests.org, and if we consider the evaluations of its parent company (Opera), it doesn't fare well. I also tested it on https://coveryourtracks.eff.org, but it didn't perform well either. I hope privacy becomes a priority for the company in future updates.
-
Another topic not necessarily related to the program is the difficulty in receiving updates about the browser's status. I don't know what they are working on or when I will receive updates. Would it be possible to receive email notifications or have a forum thread to keep users informed? I think it would be very helpful.
In summary, Opera One is a promising browser. I will continue using it as a secondary browser and hope to update this review with improvements in the future. Congratulations to the team behind the project; they have something good in their hands, and the concept is solid, they just need to polish some details. I hope they keep progressing. Best regards.

RE: [Bug] I'm having problems visualizing videos on some sites."General
@leocg Thank you, it worked for some websites, but it still breaks others like Instagram or TikTok. I removed the file from my Vivaldi browser. My question now is, will this problem always be present between Opera and Linux users? Or do they only have this issue with this version of Opera One, and will they resolve it later on?

[Bug] I'm having problems visualizing videos on some sites."General
I'm having trouble viewing videos on some sites. So far, I can't watch videos on Twitter, Facebook, WhatsApp (sidebar), as well as video calling applications like Teams. (Linux)

To me, the security/confidentiality of a browser is very important. In this case, I used https://coveryourtracks.eff.org to test the browser's security, and it didn't perform very well, which raises some questions for me:
What plans do they have to improve this aspect? Will it be part of the browser's roadmap, or will security be secondary for the development team?

Is there any way to work in split screen with tabs?General
Is there any way to work in split screen with tabs?
The browser has or will have the ability to view tabs in split screen with just one click...tiled view?
Navigating multiple sites at once can be handy. For example, if you're writing a blog post, you can open the preview in a separate tab, and review the layout as you go. Or perhaps you are writing an academic paper and want to have reference material visible.
With the tiled view, I can have multiple tabs open simultaneously and in view.
