@andrew84 this feature is not functional yet but it will come soon.

@andrew84: Quick Access feature is temporarily disabled in the new address bar drop down.
Address bar drop down is the key feature of every browser, thus we need to do refactor and redesign step by step.
Apparently Quick Access after release in stable version some time ago was used by fraction number of users. Despite that we decided to keep it for Developer users.
Today we need to make this step of releasing Address Bar Dropdown in current state and continue to work on it.

@scholle1309 We're working on ways to improve the address bar experience, to make it more organized and easier to use. We expect an update by the end of next week which will make it smoother and quicker to access your history from the address bar."

@albano23 Hi, due to a renderer issue that we discovered, we have temporarily stopped the auto-update until it is resolved.

@kathyb We're sorry this happened to you and I see how disappointing it can be. We should do better.
We're looking into this issue and are determined to fix this.
Until we do, we encourage you to use Synchronisation or turn on sharing of individual Pinboards to make sure they're not lost.

Thank you, I will report this issue.

@al-tair said in Add the possibility to add directly images in Opera Bug Wizard:

Add the possibility to add directly images (screenshots) in Opera Bug Wizard with copy/paste function. It is quite annoying to have to get the return email and send back the screenshot.

I think it would be a nice idea, since screenshots sometimes shows more that written description. We'll consider this since we're going to improve Opera Bug Wizard anyway. Thanks!

If you’re on Debian or Ubuntu and are using Opera’s official repositories for desktop, you might have received the following error while updating your system:

E: The repository 'https://deb.opera.com/opera-developer stable InRelease' has changed its 'Origin' value from 'Opera Software ASA' to 'Opera Software AS'.
N: This must be accepted explicitly before updates for this repository can be applied. See the apt-secure(8) man-page for details.
The error simply states that Opera has changed its company name from 'Opera Software ASA' to 'Opera Software AS'.

To fix this issue in order to continuing using this repository, run: “sudo apt update”
You will then be prompted to accept the new Origin of the repository:
Do you want to accept these changes and continue updating from this repository? [y/N]
Fin.

Thank you for your reports. The problem was solved and backported to Stable branch. The fix will be available with the next provided update.

Hi,

Thank you very for your feedback. This week we've improved this mechanism and now there are two cases which will prevent unexpected changes to your bookmarks bar. The first is that you have manually turned off the bookmarks bar. The second case is that you have removed the suggested bookmark links which popped up recently.

If your bookmarks bar is still experiencing unexpected changes, please file a bug report so we can fix the problem for all users.

@andrew84: We've changed to 4 weeks cycle now.

@burnie Hi,
Fist of all: Pinboards are stored in two places:

1. Remote pinboards are stored in a hidden folder in bookmarks
2. Local pinboards are stored as part of the site data of pinboard.opera.com

As a result, if you clear site data, you will loose your local pinboards. And if you clear all your bookmarks, the remote pinboards are gone.
So:

1. Have you recently clear your browser data?
2. Or do you have any extension or software cleans browser data automatically? (Ex. computer "cleaning" tool)
3. Were the missing pinboards created in a private browser?
   Local pinboards are not synced. So they might be gone after a browser reinstall.

Regarding restoring remote pinboard: The only way is if you have the sharing link (maybe you posted it before and copied the link), you can still view that board via the link and you can clone it to create a new board with the same content to continue working on it.
Sorry for inconvenience and please note that Pinboards are still technically in beta and we're working on improving it.

@vegelund Hi, this is a solution we've introduced in Opera 85, https://blogs.opera.com/desktop/2022/02/opera-85-0-4338-0-developer-update/.

@ralf-brinkmann: It's there now

@plovec: The fix missed this build but it's already in the queue for the next update.

@firuz-u7: Version 109.0.5097.33 of Opera had enhanced content verification enabled. Unfortunatelly we found out that metadata for content verification is missing on addons.opera.com for some extensions. As we are working on proper solution we released version 109.0.5097.35 which has enhanced content verification disabled. You should update to this version and press Repair if for some reason extensions would still be disabled.

Some more public context in https://github.com/AdguardTeam/AdguardBrowserExtension/issues/2765

Thank you for your report, we're already working on it.

@yonathanrm Hi, this issue was fixed on master and was already backported on stable branch too (version with fix is 86.0.4363.32). Let me know if you still have any issues.

We're working on this via DNA-65259. Only tabs that play software decoded H.264 video will generate new VTDecoderXPCService processes.

@andrew84: It was a silent update. Besides macOS and Linux are not not updated to this version yet.
