Download Opera browser with:
Looks like, on Ubuntu 20.04 the fix is as simple as installing the latest version of chromium-codecs-ffmpeg-extra from http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/universe/c/chromium-browser/ for Chromium your Opera version is based on. I just installed chromium-codecs-ffmpeg-extra_97.0.4692.71-0ubuntu0.18.04.1_amd64.deb and video playback in Opera 83 works again. No need to symlink libraries.
@exoplanet Did you download a proper package to install?
There's one thing to note, the package is for Ubuntu 18.04, so if you're running a newer version, e.g. 20.04 as myself, you'll see an update to the older version of this package chromium-codecs-ffmpeg-extra (85.xx in my case) intended for current OS version. To prevent downgrading the package you need to run apt-mark hold chromium-codecs-ffmpeg-extra to keep it at version 97.

@john-53 I saw this problem only on Ubuntu 20.04. I use it daily on a Mac and this issue does not happen there.
I observe the same problem on mega.nz on 82.0.4227.23 and 82.0.4227.33. Website loads, shows up for a second and crash information occurs. Opera 81.0.4196.60 was fine.

Thanks, this worked for me to on Ubuntu 20.04 and Opera installed with APT.
Great news on more items in recently closed tabs! Thank you!
On that happy note, when will I be able to us Opera as a default browser on iOS?
Hi,
I want to view open tabs from my iOS Opera Touch on my desktop browser, as I can with Opera desktop installed on my other computers (Mac/Win). Sadly I cannot seem to find a way to do that. I can see open tabs from desktops on my iOS Opera Touch. Am I missing some option enabled or what?

Hi.
I googled this blog post http://www.opera.com/blogs/mobile/2014/12/improved-sharing-with-opera-mini-for-ios/ to find out how to enable "Open in Opera Mini" for iOS.
Unfortunately, I cannot find such option on my iOS 9.3.1 (and previously 9.2) and Opera Mini 13. Was this option removed?
Regards,
Marek
