The same started to happen to me after an update. Usually, it happens after I start Opera and try to open a page. It freezes and I have to wait for a prompt to wait/kill the program. It starts to work normally after the restart. I'm using an old Xiaomi Note LTE with 2GB of ram.

Today Opera beta updated to 42.0.2393.14. However, shortly after any page is loaded, it restarts. It did output the "send crash report" dialog. I'm not sure if I managed to send such, though.

Now the interface to send such a crash report would not load. Please let me know how to configure Opera to display it.

I do have the developer version installed too. It restarts immediately after loading.

The stable version 41.0.2353.46 operates normally.

The system runs Ubuntu LTS 12.04

I am experiencing the same issue with Opera 32 stable and 33 developer. I messed a lot with my computer - installed Windows 10 and then went back to 8.1. Had to reinstall some video drivers. Everything works now, but Opera crashes after just a minute of work. I did try to delete the Opera folders, but no luck.

Opera 12 still works.

yes, I'm referring to the new opera. indeed, I can mark the text, ctrl+c for copy, ctrl+t for new tab, ctrl+v for paste and enter to go to URL.

however, i find it easier to mark the text, right-click it and choose shift+GoToWebAddress. it saves a few clicks and this makes a difference when such an operation is made multiple times a day. anyway, the above plug-in relatively solves the issue for me.

Is there an option to open a new tab when you mark a text address, which is not a clickable link, right-click it and choose "Go to Web Address"?

The standard approaches with shift+click and ctrl+shift+click don't work. Is there a workaround?

===================

oops, there is a plug-in https://addons.opera.com/en/extensions/details/open-in-background-tab/?display=en

Thank you for adding this! I missed it so much.

This should be close immediately because it is only a war between Presto users x Blink users. Moderator, consider this and close it. Thank you.

Frankly, I don't think it's a Presto/Blink war. I like the way Blink renders pages.It works faster than Presto for me. If all the usability features that were available in the old Opera were present, then nobody would even mention Presto.

Why I still use Opera 12.17:

1. Tab management. You have the freedom to configure it. Open new tabs in the foreground-background. Next to the current tab, or at the end. Where to go after the current tab is closed. The Chrome tab management is just a pure pain.
2. Linux. While there is a beta version of Opera 26 for Linux, Opera 12.17 still seems to be more stable.
3. Customizable keyboard shortcuts. I still prefer using Ctrl+N to open a new tab. In Chrome and the new Opera we are stuck to Ctrl+t and there is no freedom to change it.
4. The speed-dial is better. You can control the number of icons per row, and the number of rows. The speed-dial can scale, so that it would always stay visible. You can use Ctrl+1, Ctrl+2, etc., in order to open the pages from the speed-dial. I use this feature hundreds of times per day while at work.

Basically, Opera 12.17 leaves the feeling that the user is treated with respect. You are given the freedom to tailor the browser according to your needs. The new Opera browser is like "this feature is not available, it is not going to be added, we don't care what you want, deal with it".

It's true that many pages start to fail loading in Opera 12.17. It has some annoying bugs too, but each time I try the newer versions, I tend to come back running.

I forgot to mention that this option is available in your recent mobile browser. Why not treat your desktop users with the same feature?

You could do that and suffer having an old Chromium, opening you up to security isues. But sure, your call of course.</blockquote>

Well, I'm forced to use an age-old Presto with Opera 12.17 anyway...
