everyone in this thread

Hi,

Today I noticed that one of my favorite features of all time has been heavily redesigned, although I do like that it now it crops out the entire video from the original page, I still despise how a lot of features have disappeared.

• you can't skip to the next video anymore.

• the audio adjuster is gone.

• to pause the video you have to specifically press the center pause button instead of anywhere on the video.

• you can't resize the video to your own tuition anymore.

• there is a filter being applied when hovering over the pop-out.

Why? I could never say for certain, but I'm really hoping to see an option to use the classic video pop-out.

Why isn't there an update yet? shouldn't priority be set to high?

When are we expecting a fix?

How this bug made it on to stable version, blows my mind.

I thought beta goes through and extent wave of testing before pushing towards stable?

I prefer the innovative original where it was on hover on the favicon, it feels like the new volume icon fills up the bar.

If there is currently no way to revert, I hope there will be a toggle to revert back, because this way takes up way too much space.

Hi everyone,

For whomever isn't aware, this is the current PiP/Video Pop-out in v67.

I've been using PiP since 2016 and people that work online all day, it's extremely helpful to follow through with tutorials, or just watching videos while working, but the recent changes have really been a nuisance, eliminating most of the it's great features have been strapped off, and I'm hoping this post will encourage these features back.

This is what I have to say.

• Similar to the blue box when searching something there is now a grey box when you hover over the video.
  I don't know what this obsession is with placing dim screens/highlights/filters over areas but it's super annoying, and there should be a disable option for this.

• I really like the "back to tab" icon in the top left corner, however it makes it incredible difficult to click on since you have to press exactly on the icon, maybe include the title of the video as to how it was. (you can also find an example in my concept)

• Speaking of the old PiP, can you also give us the ability to pause the video when pressing anywhere on the video and the volume adjustment back from the old PiP.

• Setting to have PiP not in a separate window.
  

Since the only way to revert back to the old PiP is to downgrade to v66 or below, I really hope this gets noticed.

Having said all that, I've made a concept bringing the best out of the old PiP and new PiP.

Kind Regards,

Same issue here, started happening last night.

agreed, revert it back the way it was, behind the favicon.

@aquinas9000 I agree with you very much so. I've been using Opera for a very long time, although it does execute a lot of aspects very well, it's known to also butcher some, the video player for example used to be superb, but in a recent update they removed a lot of beneficial features. When people started to complain they added a portion of them back, however a lot of them are still left out (https://forums.opera.com/topic/38673/suggestions-for-the-new-pip-or-video-pop-out?_=1604848273324)
Sadly they won't listen unless it causes a lot of commotion.

I understand that booking and google must be paying a big amount to have this plastered on searches, I really hope there is a way to disable this.

@leocg Thanks for the info, I really hope so!

@leocg I understand, but why wouldn't there be an option to entirely disable it instead of it was causing people problems? this is just filling up the tabs, even with just a few tabs open it's in the way.

I'm surprised this is still a thing, why downgrade the tab volume icon like this?

agreed, revert it back the way it was, behind the favicon.

The amount of times I've already accidentally muted the tab is absurd, who's decision was this....

It seems like the issue is now resolved, ingenuity at its finest.

Clearing cache doesn't fix a thing, issue still persists, update didn't fix it.
