@rolandm-0: happens with a clean restart after deleting config and cache, no extensions

Beta 82.0.4227.7 on Linux x64 crashes here ("Seite abgestürzt") on e.g. Google Mail (about a second after loading) or WhatsApp Web (before loading) since the update.
81.0.4196.54 works.
Tell me if I can support debuggig.

Could you at least tell us in the comments or log posts when you think the libffmpeg problem will be solved? I get tired of manually fixing things each time a new opera version appears when I could simply use chrome and not be bothered...

Still the bundeled libffmpeg.so can't play lots of videos (youtube, facebook etc.). Using the one from snap/chromium-ffmpeg now fails with "opera-beta: symbol lookup error: opera-beta: undefined symbol: av_stream_get_first_dts". I had to use the one from https://repo.herecura.eu/herecura/x86_64/opera-developer-ffmpeg-codecs-95.0.4621.4-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst (the opera-beta version there now fails like the snap version).
If you can't bundle a working lib like chrome and firefox do, at least make sure the snap version works, and have your installer install and link this!

Using https://repo.herecura.eu/herecura/x86_64/opera-beta-ffmpeg-codecs-93.0.4577.18-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst
solves the codec problem. What is wrong with the libffmpeg snap compatibility?

Right, it seems to be the libffmpeg workaround. I am using the workaround from https://forums.opera.com/topic/37539/solving-the-problem-of-the-opera-browser-with-video-playback-in-ubuntu-and-similar-distributions-linux-mint-kde-neon
Switching back to the original libffmpeg solves the crashes, but then some videos can't be played...

Opera Developer 80.0.4150.0 also crashes on Linux e.g. on https://mail.google.com/mail/u/0/#inbox
See my other post on https://blogs.opera.com/desktop/2021/08/opera-79-0-4143-3-beta-update/

Youtube also crashes, rick2.
rm -rvf .config/opera-beta/ .cache/opera-beta
didnt change anything either.
