@elephantitis Turn off "Enable tab scrolling when many tabs are open" in the settings (User interface)
I have the same experience as spiritwind: first click (on pause) in a youtube video (pauses the video and) opens a new window. After that everything works as expected (ie no new windows when clicking).
Not sure when it started as I only watch youtube videos rarely on this computer. My opera version is a bit older than krebso's

I do not see any adverts on youtube (nor generally for that matter). I have the ghostery extension enabled and that may help a bit, too; when I pause it on youtube I do get a (ignorable for me) pop-up.
Did you check your opera settings ("Easy setup") that "block ads" are enabled?
@cappy984 Did you try the solutions given in the other "videos won't play"-questions?
@space49 You could try sudo apt-get purge opera-stable, if sudo apt-get remove opera-stable does not work.
But you should probably try getting help from a linux-forum as the problem is not opera but linux.
The error message you get from your "application center" is probably something you can ignore for now. I do not know Elementary OS, but I imagine that you can remove the opera-repository from it - then the error message should be gone, too.
@carl393 I would try following the instructions on https://deb.opera.com/manual.html. I imagine this (the first line, maybe) would install the right public key.
If not, maybe try to uninstall opera and re-install (using timeshift before uninstalling if you have timeshift, so that you can go back if things turn sour)
@space49 You may find better answers if you ask in an Elementary OS-forum. But for what it's worth, here's what I think.
Newer versions of opera often require newer dependencies; apparently you need to get a newer version of libgcc-s1 ; not sure whether you can do that on your OS.
The version of Elementary OS you use is quite old. Probably the best solution would be to get a newer OS.
To remove the old version of opera, try sudo apt-get remove opera. You may be able to reinstall it by downloading an older deb-package. I am not sure where you can get an older "stable" but "beta"s are here: https://get.opera.com/pub/opera-beta/
Or you could try a snap version or a flatpak if that is something Elementary OS allows.

I have now successfully installed 102.0.4880.40 on Linux Mint 21.2 from deb. I have not changed anything (same extentions as when updating failed 14 days ago), but of course a number of other packages have been updated in the previous 14 days. I have not tried to install opera-updates since 102.0.4880.16 gave me problems.
@pindos Thank you; this is quite useful for me to know. Maybe my problem is caused by my extensions; I will try to experiment when the next update pops up
