Music player was the spotlight feature of Opera 72, and after all the waiting (Opera went on to 72 a month ago, 73 last week and 74 going stable soon, you finally ported 72 to GX) 72 arrives but WITHOUT the music player?

How come? Can you at least tell us whether it will be implemented soon?

Hello. Since last month or so with the Opera GX 67, I realized that I was unable to use Discord voice chat because Discord web on Opera GX was stuck saying "RTC Connecting" and wouldn't allow me to neither speak nor hear the other person. I used Discord web on Opera for years without problems, and with Opera GX since its inception. I tried everything (deleted and did a clean reinstall of all my audio drivers, reset/reinstalled Opera Gx and tested without any extensions installed, ...) to fix it, but none of that worked.

Then I thought of switching to normal Opera (68), and the issue was resolved. Just because of this issue I abstained from using Opera GX and deleted it. I had to put up with the ugly and dysfunctional theme of the Opera (dark theme, the only other option besides the light theme), because of which I was having trouble discerning which tab was my current tab among many open tabs (dark gray on black is a really bad idea).

Anyhow, yesterday I realized with joy that the Opera GX was finally updated to version 68 and installed it right away and uninstalled the normal Opera. But what do I see, the problem is still there. I still can't use Discord web and I had to download the Discord app which I never wanted to use in the first place. I did this because I really can't stand the normal Opera, but you guys seriously need to find what is causing this problem with the Discord web on Opera and fix it as soon as possible since this is a major issue which has been going around for a month.

Thank you.

@leocg Same problem here, too. Some white parts of some websites are automatically rendered with forced dark mode, and the only way to read the text is to enable to force dark mode so the black text in black background becomes white text in black background. This is a massive bug, and I hope it gets fixed as soon as possible since it drastically hinders browsing experience.

This shouldn't be that much of a problem as long as no critical security issues or critical bugs present themselves, but Opera GX started crashing itself randomly and consistently after the last update, and no update is in sight.

I thought, with all the spotlight given to the GX by the Opera team, that GX would live on to be this glorious novel browser. Throwing a massive first birthday to the browser and then seemingly abandon it for months is just weird, extremely weird.

Hello. I used to occasionally visit instagram.com to check the stories and it used to work perfectly fine. But after the Opera GX 67 and 68 updates, when I click on the story I just get redirected to the profile of that person, and when I click on the story again, the same happens and all I've got is their Instagram profiles. So I'm unable to view any Instagram story using Opera GX.

I waited more than a month to post this, thinking this must have to do something on my end, so I did a fresh install and tried it without any extensions, etc. but nothing fixed this issue. My hopes went up when I saw GX 68 integrated Instagram on the sidebar, but this erratic behavior happens there just the same.

To make clear how weird this issue is, I just realized that I was able to click on Instagram live feeds and view them (although they keep automatically scrolling down a bit for some reason). Also, when I view a profile, the older stories they saved as "Highlights" can be clicked and viewed without any issue, but the current story they have is basically unclickable since it just redirects to their Instagram profile.

I hope this issue gets recognized and fixed soon. Thank you.

@burnout426 Thanks for the reply. It doesn't happen each time I highlight something (thankfully), and usually it happens when I quickly highlight different parts of a text, but it is so unpredictable that sometimes it happens right away. I now tried to reproduce it to no avail, but it still happens at least once or twice during my normal browser usage (I tend to highlight a bit more than the average user, I assume, especially when reading).

And when it happens, it freezes right away, so the browser gets stuck with "Search | Copy" bar on the highlighted text (My Flow is disabled on my browser). The buttons, as with the rest of the browser become completely unresponsive until I perform an Alt-Tab.

Where is the music player feature? That was the major deal with Opera 72, and after all the waiting (Opera went on to 72 a month ago, 73 last week and 74 going stable soon, you finally ported 72 to GX) 72 arrives but without the music player?

How come?

@LynXProdigy One day I'm able to view the stories, and the next day they are unavailable again, for weeks. Is this supposed to be a badly-executed A/B test?

@burnout426 Hey. After all this time this issue persisted across Opera and Opera GX, and I think I finally found out what is causing it. When I select more than one language from the spellcheck options (I always enabled Turkish, English and German simultaneously since I write on all three languages and spellcheck helps to prevent typos), I eventually get these freezes upon highlighting stuff. It doesn't cause freezing every time, but it happens often enough that it becomes an issue. Can you maybe try reproducing the error this way? Thank you.

@leocg I enabled the flag and the player appeared on my sidebar, but it doesn't have any buttons or any way to interact with it, it just shows this static page. How can I configure it to play from Spotify? Player settings (under Opera settings) also don't provide any option for this.

Update: This issue is still not resolved in the latest GX 75.0.3969.279. It's getting more absurd every day to see that this add-in, crashing the browser, is allowed to roam free like this.

@unbeknownst This issue continues after the latest GX update. It keeps crashing the GX and when my setting is to reopen the pages after exit, it crashes the browser again until GX says all the extensions are disabled, then I try again and it still crashes. Either get rid of this intrusive add on or pay the minimum attention to it so it won't crash your browser.

When I browse Amazon pages, the annoying assistant add-in asks me to install, which it always did for over a year, but with the latest GX 75, clicking "Don't Show This Again" crashes my GX and causes me to lose all my progress. And then when I visit Amazon again, same thing all over. Urgent fix needed.

@quik Who are "we"? You don't seem to have any official role on the forums. GX 75 works more than fine for me, better than the 73.

@leocg

@leocg I already posted the build version in my post, it's Opera GX 75.0.3969.231.

Hello. Since I obsessively check the get opera ftp server, I found a GX version 75, uploaded on late April 22nd, I thankfully downloaded and saved it and been using it for two days now. No announcement was made for this, no changelog either, and now when I check the ftp server, GX 75 is gone.

My GX version is 75.0.3969.231, and I think the public needs an explanation as to why the 75 version disappeared. As the GX was always 1 or 2 versions behind the main Opera, it was great to finally have version parity, but now it's taken away again. Why?

Upon updating to the version 73, my GX started microstuttering and freezing when I'm browsing with multiple tabs open or using the WhatsApp sidebar. Anyone else suffering performance problems after switching to v73?

@Alepe The problem was fixed after some updates to the GX. Maybe it's related to some privacy add-ons like LocalCDN, not sure, but it's working fine for me for at least two months.
