@rogue-river: not really, some of us don't actually want tab islands in the first place.
Nor do we want the obnoxious Aria icon in every single frigging text box.

Opera is going downwards fast, sadly...

@adam1709: I'm with you, Opera please #BringBackTabBarScrolling as a setting, not an experimental flag!

@stolis: No, they shoul have better testing and maybe do a rolling upgrade.

Disabling auto-update will only make people keep using old, vulnerable, outdated versions of the browser, which could be even worse than this.

I have been bitten by this bug, fortunately I had backups and could make the update work.
(I don't know why my profile from Wednesday didn't work, but my backup from Sunday allowed the update without issues, thank $DEITY)

@kmielczarczyk: Please, bring back the Recently Closed Tabs button, I already use Search in Tabs via its shortcut and I don't need a dedicated button.
Now, the Recently Closed Tabs functionallity is buried under a submenu, not user-friendly at all.

Twitter an Youtube videos are crashing on this version for me.
Anyone else?

I'm on Slackware64 Linux 15.0 RC1 (-current), KDE Plasma 5.22.4/X11

Damn, nwjs-ffmpeg-prebuilt 0.55.0 doesn't work with chromium 93, I'll try opera-beta-ffmpeg-codecs-93.0.4577.18.

That worked, thanks again @thelittlebrowserthatcould !

@ghirahim: Not sure where you are getting this but I doubt this will ever make it to the main Opera.

From https://www.opera.com/one

Opera One (currently early-access developer version) is a completely redesigned browser, planned to replace the flagship Opera Browser for Windows, macOS, and Linux later this year.

@burnout426 the version from herecura didn't work for me either, I had to revert to https://github.com/nwjs-ffmpeg-prebuilt/nwjs-ffmpeg-prebuilt/releases/tag/0.76.1 to make videos not crash Opera

#BringBackTabBarScrolling please!

#BringBackTabBarScrolling

@weilan: agreed, the waste of space was the first thing I noticed, even comparing against Opera Stable/Beta

@andrew84 said in Opera 106.0.4977.0 developer update:

*Btw, I didn't understand why you can't test it. I guess you can create many speed dial tabs and check.

I also only install Developer to test it and usually uninstall it afterwards, otherwise I have conflicts during an update. I'm on Fedora Linux, I use Stable installed via flatpak for work and Beta installed via Opera's yum/dnf repository.
When I install Developer via the repo, sometimes it complains that some files conflict with those from Beta.

Also, since I usually delete my Developer profile, opening several dozen tabs gets tiresome after doing it several times a week

And it'd be nice to test Opera Developer with the same profile I use in Beta, which is heavily personalized, to get a better feel of how the update is goning to afect me.

@thelittlebrowserthatcould: Seconded
I miss searching for a string in one tab, switching to another tab and searching for the same string with just pressing F3

@ralf-brinkmann same as you, default search engines came back after a second restart but no personalized engines on sight

@ralf-brinkmann crap, this just happened to me upgrading Beta from 107 to 108 (unannounced yet but in the RPM repo). I'm on Fedora 39 KDE spin.

Zero search engines, and it took a little longer than usual to start so I guess this is some sort of failed upgrade attempt?
Let's see after a second restart.

After updating from Beta 107, all of my search engines were gone.
After restarting the browser, the default search engines reappeared but my personalized search engines were still gone.

opera-beta-108.0.5067.6-0.x86_64 RPM on Fedora 39 KDE spin

@parduspars I think it's a problem in Linux due to patents/licences, the included libffmpeg (e.g. /usr/lib64/opera*/libffmpeg.so) doesn't work for me either.

Check out https://github.com/nwjs-ffmpeg-prebuilt/nwjs-ffmpeg-prebuilt/releases for precompiled versions with support for more codecs, which make videos from IG and X work.

Also see here:

@burnout426 BTW, I wouldn't mind installing from the RPM repo but I need to have 2 Opera versions (Stable and Beta) installed at the same time, and the RPM versions conflict against each other due to including same-named files, eg:

@burnout426: thanks for your reply, sorry I didn't see it sooner.

Stil no .59, .68 nor .80 versions in flathub.org unfortunately

I know they recently revamped the process (security-wise) of uploading apps, so maybe there's some blocker?
