@sgrandin I have to use a US proxy (Opera's VPN works) to access that site from across The Pond, but then I can't see that search term. On the other hand, plenty of hits, with expected behaviour, at: https://www.stroke.org/en/

I'm finding Opera won't clean up after itself when closed, leaving 11 or 12 processes, two with noticeable CPU utilisation. This stops me from being able to restart Opera, unless I kill the main process, or reboot.
Debian build.

It would be useful if Search Tabs and Tabs (opera://activity/) were divided into Workspaces.

@Opera-QA-Team Cheers! I would appreciate it if the emojis could be checked and adjusted for usefulness: many are too small.

I wanted to use tab emojis.
First problem: remembering what they're called. Labels and icons as alternative search terms would have helped.
Main problem: the selection dialog disappears when I mouse towards it.
Debian build.

@opera-qa-team: it's 124.0.5705.65 via the repository, and the link on this page.

Now that my Linux version has successfully installed, I did have to update the location for the lib_extra folder.
My libffmpegDOTso from September still seemed OK, but I updated it anyway, from: https://github.com/Ld-Hagen/fix-opera-linux-ffmpeg-widevine/releases/latest

@kilian01: fixed, when I booted up at 07:45 UTC, 2025-11-26.

@andrew84: thanks for the tip: I've now disabled the History Redesign in opera://flags

@pintofplain: you have just your Speed Dial displayed? News or weather widgets trying to update?

History sidepanel
Full URL not shown on hover
No popup text for Remove icons (can the action be reverted?)
Poor carat visibility in search box

Please could we have a caret for the History search box, when in dark mode?

@leocg Nope. Can't you just try it, yourself?

Of course, an irrelevant image could be attached, just to fulfil the requirement, but the Bandwidth Police may disapprove...

@leocg there's the requirement: "Attach any relevant files".

@yuseijaden I should thank you (and Opera), as I've only just now noticed it. Maybe it's due to monitoring usage of Easy Files? In the past I would have to use an OCR (optical character recognition) extension for an image with text in an unfamiliar language, and then translate the text. This was made much easier with Easy Files / Google (just copy the image, no need to save it). It's a process I use several times a day. It's still useful to have the option of multiple reverse image searches via an extension, for checking the first publication date for an image, as Google doesn't index everything.

@yuseijaden if you don't want to add your own shortcut, you could use a reverse image search extension, such as:

@MehrzadS try updating (using root privileges) libffmpegDOTso in Opera's lib_extra folder to the one for Chromium 138 from https://1drv.ms/u/s!AhAFddP4jtR1gWou3XWpQbFIlrFB

@thelittlebrowserthatcould:
138 works, from: https://1drv.ms/u/s!AhAFddP4jtR1gWou3XWpQbFIlrFB?e=3WcvzX

The libffmpegDOTso that was OK over the past year no longer works, and nor do replacements stolen from Chromium and Vivaldi installations.
