@burnout426 thank you, I always forget to check on github.
Fortunately, I already got the update this morning.

@tina apparently not, it'd be nice if they did because it's the only way to have Opera Stable and Opera Beta coinstalled on Fedora for example.

I'm thankful for the RPM repository but not being able to coinstall is a problem for me:

# rpm -q opera-beta
opera-beta-113.0.5230.26-0.x86_64
# dnf -y install opera-stable

I reported this on this forum several times already

@Opera-Comments-Bot please update the flatpak version on flathub.org!

This update and the last one are still missing from flathub.org

BTW, this is on Fedora 40 KDE, opera-beta-113.0.5230.18-0.x86_64 installed via the RPM repository.

@kmielczarczyk Yes, and sorry I came off too harsh but I was really mad at the current situation with Opera (the Aria icon is another pain point).

First of all, I prefer scrolling Tab Strip and have Tab Islands and Tab grouping disabled in Opera Beta.
Still, whenever I drag a tab on top, a new group/island gets created, and usually tha Tab Strip gets scrolled to another place (so I lose focus on the just dragged tabm which is anothe annoyance).

But the whole Tab area is a mess currently. Dragging a tab in Beta 113.0.5230.18 for instance can only be done if you are careful not moving the mouse outside the Tab Strip, or Opera instead resizes itself.

That also prevents fomr detaching a tab from a window.

Then there's the click on the active tab to mve to the top, which doesn't distinguish between a click and a drag and always goes to the top unconditionally.

There might be more but that is the most annoying thing to me.

(I also have more issues lately but I'm not sure those are Opera's faults or my distro/desktop's bugs)

Please, just kill Tab Islands
They're a f*ing mess that just causes problems even for those of us who don't use them, want them, care for them.

You tried, you failed, cut your loses and move on to another system.

Will you finally remove Aria's icon from every text box in Opera Beta?

In Opera Stable the icon was removed. Why hasn't this change been applied to Beta also?

@ralf-brinkmann: I hope they can be disabled cause I probably won't.
(I'd try it but I can't co-install Beta and Developer from the RPM repos).

BTW: I'm still on .25, waiting for the flatpak to update.
Hopefully this one will be the one

Is it .55 or .61?

I still don't see this update in Opera's RPM repository.
Was it pulled for some reason?
Maybe the bug @leocg and @rnghwdbcs mention?

I do see it in Opera's RPM repository but unfortunately I still can't install two opera versions (stable, beta, developer) at the same time:

# dnf -qy install opera-stable

@opera-comments-bot hello, has this update been withheld?
I still don't see it available in flathub.org

@andrew84: I don't see it in Beta either

@thelittlebrowserthatcould
Yup, it's disabled from day 1.

Now, I have received an update to Opera Stable yesterday (110.0.5130.66, I had missed the announcement) and at least in this text box and 2 others I tried, the Aria icon is not shown, so maybe they fixed it.

@wonghow I know what Tab Islands are for, that's how I know I don't want them
I have no use for Tab Islands amd I have disabled them in my config.

Edit: sorry, sent the post before finishing it

But! If I drag a tab and drop it on top of another tab, guess what happens?
A new Tab Island is created!

Again: I don't want Tab Islands, I have no use for them, it's very annoying when they're created by mistake, and Opera doesn't provide an option to completely disable them

They're turning a browser I have used for years into a bloated PoS with every new "feature" added.

I'm sorry to say this, I really am, but I'm seriously considering switching to Firefox because I feel I'm constantly battilng Opera, not using it.

@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...

For the record: I have Aria and spell checking already disabled, and I still see Aria's icon in every text box (like this one).

Opera: let us disable this useless AI "feature" please. I have absolutely no need for this thing and I don't want my browser to send you what I write to "improve" it.
Thanks
