Hi @marinaz909

I don't know what changed exactly but after updating to Opera Beta 120.0.5543.29, Privacy Badger started working normaly in every site I tried.

Hi @marinaz909, sorry I haven't been able to make some time for this.

I do have several extensions active:

• Opera's ad blocker: Version 120.0.5543.12
• JSON Lite: Version 20.10.1 by lauri-rooden
• Privacy Badger: Version 2025.5.30 by efforg
• Reload Images: Version 2.5.2 by mubaidr
• RSS Detector: Version 2.0.2 by BS-Harou (Martin Kadlec)
• YouTube No Buffer - Stop Auto-playing: Version 0.4.6 by james-fray

I don't think I'll be able to test in the next few days, maybe next weekend.

I'll get back to you with my results.

Thanks again!

@marinaz909: Thank you!

Also, and this might be related, the Privacy Badger extensions seems to be non-functional on Opera Beta: it's icon in the address bar is greyed out and clicking it does nothing.

I reinstalled the extension and it kept trying to open its configuration page without success.

Hi,

Is anyone else experiencing ad blocking issues with Opera Beta?

Since the last update some websites started showing ads when previously they didn't, even after I disabled "Allow acceptable ads"

Some websites (like phoronix) even ask me to disable my ad blocker, only to immediately start loading (very obtrusive) ads.

This doesn't happen with Stable, only Beta with the last and this versions.

For those stil lstruggling with this, here's how I did it:

You have to enable the side panel and check the box to show Aria in it from the regular settings

Then from the side panel open Aria, got to its settings (icon in the top left corner of the side bar, settings button on the bottom), then you'll see what's in @burnout426 screenshot.

Uncheck the last item (writing mode shortcut) and then you can disable Aria and the side panel again from regular settings.

@daria19 @leocg and @burnout426 thank you for your responses, I fainally got rid ot that icon!

But, this should be fixed in Opera Beta, right? If Aria is completely disabled otherwise, why show an icon in the text boxes?

Will you disable Aria's icon in every text box when Aria is completely disabled?
I can't test Developer right now, but you fixed it in Stable several versions ago.
Thanks in advance.

@leocg No, I disabled the functionality because I have no use for it.

@daria19 said in Opera 115 beta:

@rick2: Hello! Are you referring to Tab Traces? You can disable them in the settings under 'Show traces on most recently used tabs.'

Yeah, that's the one.

As for the crash, could you please send us the crash ID? You can find it at opera://crashes. Thank you!

I don't see anything in there. I do have auto-send enabled though.

How can I disable the "last used tabs" indicator?
I find it very distracting.

Found it!

And while at it, I also disabled split screen, as my first (accidental) interaction with it on Opera Stable resulted in a full browser crash

How can I disable the "last used tabs" indicator?
I find it very distracting.

And also: when will Opera Beta get rid of the Aria icon in every text input when Aria is completely disabled otherwise?

@daria19: "The latest Opera stable update (version 114.0.5282.101) is now available"
The fact that Beta and Stable are both on 114 complicates matters even more

BTW, when will you guys/gals remove the aria icon from text boxes on Beta?

@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.
