RE: Opera 71 updateBlogs
Thanks. This version restored some long lost performance for video player and scrolling that was gone since around Opera 58, on Linux/RS780L [Radeon 3X00].

RE: Opera Linux browser - h.264 support (through x264 open source codec)Opera for Linux
@pinportal
Hi!
There's an even better way:curl -L -O https://github.com/iteufel/nwjs-ffmpeg-prebuilt/releases/download/0.47.2/0.47.2-linux-x64.zip unzip 0.47.2-linux-x64.zip sudo mkdir /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/opera/lib_extra sudo mv libffmpeg.so /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/opera/lib_extra
Opera will automatically use the version in lib_extra and the mod will survive opera upgrades. So you'll only need to do this once.

RE: Opera 66 initial release makes it easier to reopen closed tabs and to access extensionsBlogs
@kamil7165: Here here! The new sidebar behaviour is too clunky. You cannot reorder icons. Too much space wasted. It steals space from the tabs bar and it is not even resizeable as neededl. (It can be resized, but only up to a point - which is insufficient for me).
Please, opera staff, fix this new bar or use the "Extensions bar" code, instead of the browser bar, for this unified functionality.
It would be more functional and less space-hungry, while still allowing for the unified functionality you're seeking.
I can wait on an older version, but not forever.p.s. Dear opera makers, please remember that there is still people with monitors less than FHD, and also that there is people whom do not like to browse full-screen.
Would you cater to those audiences, please? -
RE: Opera 65 comes with an improved tracker blocker and redesigned address barBlogs
I do not like the dimming of the page in the redesigned address bar. Please keep the old behaviour around.

RE: Opera 66.0.3487.0 developer updateBlogs
The reborn bar replacing the extension bar poses a problem.
Whereas the extension bar lived below the address bar, the reborn bar lays on top of everything and when expanded to show an extension panel, it would steal quite a bit of space from the tabs and address bar.This is particularly egregious at lower resolutions, such as the typical 1366x768 of most run off the mill, cheap-ish Notebooks.
Also it messes with your muscle memory, because it moves around the navigation controls every time you switch.
I would really, really, like an option to confine the reborn bar below the address bar.
I tend to keep my (V7 extension) bookmarks visible and while real estate is at a premium, this new layout messes up my work-flow.
This is my browser window right now, in Opera 53:
*(I still use Opera 53 due to a longstanding bug that disables subpixel font rendering in opera internal pages and interface.)
This is what it would be reduced to, with the reborn bar:
And there are only 22 Tabs. Imagine with 100+... -
RE: Opera 66.0.3487.0 developer updateBlogs
@andrew84: There is one in the preferences and with right click menu.
What is missing though is the option to change the order of icons within the bar. -
RE: Opera 66.0.3487.0 developer updateBlogs
I really don't like the reborn 3 dropdown. Especially the fact that it greys out the full page when you start typing.
Can it be made a permanent config option instead of just a flag? -
How to force opera to reuse the current window on startup?Opera for Linux
Recently Opera started creating a new session upon startup even when it's already running.
How can I make it reuse the current session instead?

RE: Open a file instead of save itOpera for Windows
Old Opera had the option to open local files directly, eg. with Libreoffice.
Could that be implemented in an extension?
Also it allowed to pass the url only to the external app. Useful for external downloaders and as a "1 click" function to instantly stream videos in VLC instead of downloading. -

BTW - For Fedora users: The "Russian Fedora" Repos has it all nicely packaged. Including the ffmpeg libs.

RE: Opera 31 youtube. I want to watch all videos in html5.Opera for Linux
To opera devs:
Why don't you just unbundle ffmpeg and use the system-default one?
Largely most people have already installed a "competent" ffmpeg library anyway...
