@burnout426: Thank you very much, the reddit link works!

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.

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...

I would really like to have a keyboard shortcut to open the WhatsApp page in the sidebar. Could you include these pages in the Ctrl+Tab history? Thank you!

Any idea for a working libffmpeg?
Using https://repo.herecura.eu/herecura/x86_64/opera-beta-ffmpeg-codecs-99.0.4844.16-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst
leads to
opera-beta: /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libm.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.35' not found (required by /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/opera-beta/libffmpeg.so)

@rolandm-0: Correction:
Crash doesn't happen any more with https://repo.herecura.eu/herecura/x86_64/opera-beta-ffmpeg-codecs-96.0.4664.35-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst

This "stable" release causes the same crashes on Linux as described on https://blogs.opera.com/desktop/2021/11/opera-82-0-4227-7-beta-update/
Didn't happen with stable 81.

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...
