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!

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

I use this to correct some egregious bad grammar instead of profanities.
It works, but it could use some logic around the context of words in order to be more usable for my case.

Super. Certainly the best audio addon for Opera.
My only gripe is that it break audio on some sites and it's forcefully disabled by others...
