@red Oh, I forgot to talk about a third problem that's been there for a few releases. Opera has recently become extremely laggy to respond to window resizing, taking from a few seconds, to the extent of not responding at all to maximize (even if using the maximize button-that-shouldn't-even-be-there... the window maxes, but the content is not updated).
I have to resort to hitting F11 twice to force a redraw.

I have two problems now with this version in Fedora 44/Mate.
One is that the Opera window now has standard decorations as in the following image,

instead of being borderless, as it should:

The second problem is that the Right Mouse Button is disabled in the area marked in green below:

while instead it should provide this menu:

P.S. To the Opera Team, thanks for the great browser, and please, be steadfast on the V2 manifest support.
Keep those zombies alive!!!

In Fedora Linux Mate 43, I have a problem with video on opera-stable-0:127.0.5778.14-0.x86_64.
Videos work intermittently, in the sense that sometimes a video fully works, and maybe just a few seconds later, the very same video only shows as a black screen (with intact audio). Anybody has the same problem?

Deprecating V2 extensions already???
I commented about it here: https://forums.opera.com/topic/87364/deprecating-v2-extensions-already

Please, keep supporting V2 extensions indefinitely.

WOW... — Opera V125.0.5729.12 —
Deprecating V2 extensions is not a nice Christmas gift.
C'mon Opera! You can do better!

@burnout426
It's Opera rpm on Fedora Linux 43 MATE edition (X11)
Currently updated to 125.0.5729.12

I like to launch my opera as:

opera --window-size=1496,1029 --window-position=54,26 --disable-font-subpixel-positioning %U

Recently I noticed that it doesn't honour window-size and window-position anymore and for me it's a real nuisance.

I don't know if it's a bug or just another of the google "features" of late, that we're been fed by our malevolent master, but I for one, would really like for it to be treated as a bug by Opera.

In the meantime, does anyone know a workaround, or a fix, other than resizing/moving the window manually every time?

Thank you all!

Note: Currently on Opera 124.0.5705.65

It would be great for all the chromium derivatives to join forces to spread the load and support MV2 indefinitely.
MV3 is really-really too limiting.

I found this version that works with videos from locals.com:
https://github.com/nwjs-ffmpeg-prebuilt/nwjs-ffmpeg-prebuilt/releases/tag/0.102.1

Sad.
Today, with the new Opera 122.0.5643.17, I can't find any libffmpeg.so that works with videos on locals.com.
I'm on Fedora Linux and I tried libffmpeg.so from:

• https://repo.herecura.eu/herecura/x86_64/
• https://github.com/nwjs-ffmpeg-prebuilt/nwjs-ffmpeg-prebuilt - https://github.com/iteufel/nwjs-ffmpeg-prebuilt/
• https://github.com/Ld-Hagen/fix-opera-linux-ffmpeg-widevine/
• (fedora package) Microsoft's code-insiders
• (fedora package) Microsoft's code-exploration
• (fedora package) Microsoft's code
• Vivaldi (Official package) - and vivaldi will play those videos, while Opera laments a missing codec.
• Chromium
• Discord (rpmfusion-nonfree)
• qmmp (fedora package)

I'm still searching. Anybody found something that works well?

Dear @imtranslator, care to explain what's happening here?
I know we can use https://addons.opera.com/en/extensions/details/imtranslator-translator-dictionary-tts/, but is this smaller version coming back or is it gone for good?

@iwua @jinliann @LaughingMuse
It is there in 111.0.5168.18

In Opera 111.0.5168.18 you can disable it in opera://flags. (I hope it lasts)

@jinliann said in How to disable Tab Emojis?:

I seriously can't believe there isn't a way to disable this.

Luckily there is, at least for now, a flag to disable it in opera://flags/.

Installation links on this page are for opera beta. (https://blogs.opera.com/desktop/2023/08/opera-102-stable-update/)

The link on this page always download the beta rpm instead of stable...

The option "Always clear cookies when windows are closed" is a per-site setting within opera preferences. When enabled, this setting should cause the removal of all cookies upon closure of a site's window. And up until recently it worked flawlessly.

Now with:
System:Fedora Linux 37 (MATE-Compiz) (x86_64; MATE)
Version:95.0.4635.37
Update stream:Stable
Chromium version:109.0.5414.120

It doesn't work anymore. Cookies are left behind.
I'll use wired.com here as an example, as I had the function active on this site for years in order to override the "you have reached your monthly limit of free articles".

To reproduce it is necessary to set:
[*.]wired.com as "Always clear cookies when windows are closed" under opera://settings/cookies

Then you'll need to open one Wired article such as this one:
https://www.wired.com/story/the-generative-ai-search-race-has-a-dirty-secret/

You'll notice that there are now 15 cookies set by a couple of wired.com subdomains.

Upon closure of the article's window all of those cookies should disappear, but as you can see from opera://settings/content/all , most of those are still there after closing it, and they'll still be there later, when returning to wired.com.

Please note that the auto-deletion of cookies "at opera exit" and the manual deletion of cookies are both unaffected by this bug and thus work as expected.

The "Opera Stable for Linux – RPM packages" link gives me a .deb
