Hi there

I also have some weird sync issues.

First - the old devices.

For me it looks like this:

Yes. I found the thread https://forums.opera.com/topic/36848/opera-sync-remove-old-device/8 but I´m asking myself why its not possible to remove them via https://www.sync.opera.com/devices

Second - I have the same device multiple times. (I´m using three -> 2 Linux and one Windows)
Like this

The green lines shows my windows-device, the red my main linux-device and the blue my not so often used linux-laptop.

Why does this happens? How to avoid this?

If I manually delete the Local Storage\leveldb\xxx.ldb would they double/multiply again?
Why?

Third - I had to reset my Profile on one of the devices.
The password synchronisation synchronised an older password for at least one site.
I changed the password on the windows-device, recreated the profile and after syncing I had an old password.
Are there no timestamps?

@leocg: Oh exuse me, your royal majesty, it wont happen again.

However: please allow me some closing words from my side

First of all - is this ultimative arrogance by birth or acquired over the time?
You ar neither my father nor my boss or whatever to talk in this way to me!

I don't know what you do the whole time - customer support is definetively and clearly not your favorite thing to do.
I'm a senior software developer and if I make some mistakes, which clearly happens, I'm happy to hear about any problem so I'm able to fix it.
THIS is my understanding of proper development and not ignoring and put down volunteer tester and helpers.

I swear to god - if one of my employees would talk in this way to anyone else - I woul fire him immediatly.
Well - a large part of the Internet is "moving", and having crashes and don't be able to use about the half of the sites I use on a daily basis already forced me to an alternative browser - so I'll stay at this.

This is indeed not my favourite choice, because I'm using opera since it exists, but...

An now go fk yself dumbass and stay in your bubble.

P.S. I'm curious how long this post will be there - in dictatorships all over the world any non-conform meaning are deleted very soon.

@treego: That helped.
Thank you!

Thanks for the news.
Every Opera-Update is a risk. And this is again crashing constantly.
99.0.4788.65 on Linux.
Disapointing.

@leocg

No crashes visible there.

If I start at the commandline I get this (after opening Whatsapp)

@leocg said in Opera 79.0.4128.0 developer update:

@fearphage No crashes here on Windows 11.

My OS is Debian GNU/Linux 11 (bullseye) 64bit
https://forums.opera.com/user/mbstafs also experienced this problem

It occured first in 79.0.4114.0, but I saw nothing Video-Related in the changelog.

Is it possible to create a debug-log? How?

@leocg Oh, sorry

I'm talking about the crashes with pages with moving content

https://edition.cnn.com/videos/sports/2021/07/14/tokyo-olympics-sprinter-ryota-yamagata-essig-pkg-intl-hnk-vpx.cnn

and the Whatsapp-panel also.

This error is still here: https://forums.opera.com/topic/50321/opera-79-0-4114-0-developer-update

What causes this error?

Huge Bug - the profile isnt loaded.
Everything is empty - Tabs, browsing history, cookies. Just everything.

Dissapointing! Massivly dissapointing!

How to proceed now?

Why is Opera releasing untested software?
You destroyed at least two days of work! Such things makes this browser useless. Really useless.

@aralaen
randomly?
For me its happening every time.

When I close and reopen Opera all Tabs are gone.

Every Opera-Update is a risk, and this one failed. Again.

Dissapointing.

Hmmm thats weird

ldd /usr/bin/opera | grep -i libffmpeg.so
libffmpeg.so => not found

/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu$ sudo ln -s /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/opera/libffmpeg.so .

ldd /usr/bin/opera | grep -i libffmpeg.so
libffmpeg.so => /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libffmpeg.so (0x00007f843da36000)

also dont help.

What version of libffmpeg.so do you use and where its stored?

What to do?

@leocg: Sorry, I forgot something

Could you please take position to this blog entry: https://www.kuketz-blog.de/opera-datensendeverhalten-desktop-version-browser-check-teil13/

Yes - it's in german - but easy translatable.

Opera promised to be a safe and tracking-blocking browser.
Is this an empty promise?

@leocg: Oh exuse me, your royal majesty, it wont happen again.

However: please allow me some closing words from my side
