Well it took a while but I figured this out. Not sure why nobody at Opera can answer the question.
Turns out the problem is GPU acceleration is the problem. Turning it off fixed it. But not until I had completely uninstalled and reinstalled Opera and found that didn't fix it. It had started with the update before the most recent, for some reason.
So for anyone else running into this, turn off GPU acceleration.
@spike666 I should add that video works fine on other sites, like news sources, that the ads on YouTube always work fine (hah, no surprise there), and I have a low latency (8ms) high speed (500mb/s) connection.
YouTube gets stuck quickly after launching a video. Oddly, this doesn't happen in the video pop-out window. The only way to make it stop spinning in the tab is to restart Opera.
@leocg: Shouldn't it detach any tab? I'm not talking about popping out a video, that's always worked. There is no option for "detach a tab" that I can find.
The changelog for 78 says "Add ‘Detach tab’ entry to tab menu" but I don't see where this is. It doesn't show in right click on the tab with all the other options.
@apocalyps Thanks, but it's not working. It shows up for a second in the sidebar and then bounces to the menu bar. Numerous uninstalls and reinstalls. Still looking for a solution.
@david27: I know this is old, but do you know how to add it to the sidebar? If I add it from the sidebar extensions add button in the sidebar setup, it goes straight to the menu bar. It used to work but I had a system crash and had to rebuild things.
@sgunhouse Thanks, it's enabled. I was able to get another extension (calculator) to load in the sidebar, so it's just Bitwarden. Maybe I need to ask them, but it did work before.
I had to completely reinstall my system and while Opera works fine, when I use the Add Extensions in the Sidebar and add Bitwarden, it always goes to the menu bar. I have uninstalled and reinstalled it, no luck. Thoughts?

Opera keeps trying to update to .250. I get a popup that says "'Applications Opera' is damaged and can't be opened. You should move it to the Bin." Tried it three times.

@leocg: Interesting, I wonder why. It's the only site I use that I can't get to on the Developer browser.
I'm still getting this error -
Attackers might be trying to steal your information from www.portaldasfinancas.gov.pt (for example, passwords, messages, or credit cards).
NET::ERR_CERT_REVOKED
with Developer but not with the stable release for the URL in the error message above.
I have to apologise as I'm not a developer but I did find problems and I don't know where to report them. I only installed the developer version as I am switching to an M1 Mac and wanted to see if they browser is ready so I can buy the new box. One problem is fairly minor - I can't drag a tab to a new workspace. I have to right click and pick the workspace. This is an annoyance but isn't a big problem for me. The other problem is that I can't access an essential site (for me) on the Developer update.
Opera is configured identically. All the same extensions, every setting, bookmarks, and everything is synced. Almost all the tabs are the same.
The site is https://www.portaldasfinancas.gov.pt/ It works fine in Opera and with Chrome, Safari, and Firefox. It does not work on this Developer update, I get the "Your connection is not private." If I click on "Help me understand," I get a message that the credentials are incorrect. I haven't yet run into the problem with any other sites. Unfortunately, this is a Portuguese government site and it may be difficult to test as many of them block IPs outside Portugal. I do get the same error when I tried an in-country VPN.
I switched to Opera recently, in part because Jump to Click (cursor jumps to spot in scroll bar that is clicked) didn't work in Firefox. Overall a good move, there are a lot of things that make me prefer Opera.
However, Jump to Click has stopped working, I believe when I updated to 69. Clicking in the scroll bar gives a "tab" type jump, rather than to the click spot. What's odd is that I went back to Chrome, which l used for years, and in which it used to work, and it's stopped working there too. It doesn't work in Vivaldi. The only browser in which it currently works is Safari, and this one problem isn't enough to make me ever use Safari.
When I was using Firefox, I didn't get a single response on this problem, I'm hoping Opera is more interested in fixing this.
@nintendork07 Most browsers seem to be having trouble from the reports I've seen.
@andrew84 said in Opera 69 comes with built-in Twitter:
@spike666 Try to turn off the ads Blocker, I have the same on gsmarena with youtube embedded videos. But I'm on Windows.
Thanks! Worked fine so I've gone back and turned off ads just for the site as I am on it regularly. Know what to do in the future too.
I have lost the ability to see some videos with 69. When this happens the video box goes blank. A good example is this page - https://www.independent.co.uk/extras/weather/uk-weather-forecast-news-latest-hottest-day-of-the-year-a9584561.html?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=Facebook&#Echobox=1593072846 The top is just a black box.
I have tried turning on and off hardware acceleration, no change.
This appear to be new with Opera 69. Nothing else has changed, added/deleted since updating Opera.

@leocg Thanks. That worked. Didn't realize the setting was there.
