You might think searching for tabs may be ”the thing“ – I understand that idea.

But it actually isn't, because the tabs – even hundreds of them – don't change position much and the human ”spatial/location memory“ is quite well developed. So it only happens ever so seldom that you search for an open tab and don't find it hovering in instances.

On the other hand, it happens a lot more often that you accidentally close a tab and want to re-open ist quickly; not using keyboard shortcuts the ”Tab Menu“ comes handy there – much more convenient than unintuitively being redirected via the (sometimes painstakingly slow) history panel.

[opera://flags/#search-in-open-tabs came handy for me, there, for the time being]

Opera's addons.opera.com doesn't seem to accept M3 extension updates, though.

I get the feeling, Opera is kind of slightly abandoning its own extension repository, by the way. Is it right, that users as well as developers should concentrate on Chrome's addon store instead?

Opera developer builds 56.0.3010.0 and 56.0.3013.0 are crashing a lot on Linux [Mint 19/x64] as well as on Windows [Win10/x64]. Can anyone confirm?

Best reproducible zooming a lot (mouse wheel) in Google Maps, but also scrolling in Google Image search results.

Under Linux there is a SEGFAULT reported (”… in opera-developer[18f1000+58ba000]“)

Yet another shareholder focused decision that discounts significant parts of your core community.

DNA-86730 Extend chrome.tabs API to allow opening URLs in selected workspace
↑ Will this be documented over there at https://dev.opera.com ?

@ralf-brinkmann Your last point seems to be related to / reflect what I described below.

DNA-90087 Allow for native installation of Chrome extensions

So it won't be worth it anymore to maintain ones extensions in Opera's addon store?

Am I right to assume, that it will be sunset soon? I mean, I take it as a hint, that one of my extensions still is awaiting moderator's approval since August… Duh.

@johnd78 Right.

And browserAction.getBadgeTextColor returns [0, 0, 0, 0], i.e. transparent black, not some opaque shade of red like [255, 0, 0, 255].

@ralf-brinkmann said in Opera 92.0.4547.0 developer update:

Any idea, how I can create a search engine for https://www.windy.com/de/-Wanderkarte-map?
The usual way (right click in the search box and select "Create Search Engine") doesn't work on my computer.
W10x64, Operax64

It's not a normal search field. If you type something there, it uses a technique similar to search suggestions (as you type, each (partial) search string is sent to a backend https://node.windy.com/search/v4.0/<map-center-lat>/<map-center-lon>/<query>?… and suggestions are returned via JSON data).

So with this Chromium update ”The … Suspender“-type extensions finally resume to work without this bug with Opera Developer. (Most other Chromium based browsers had a suitable Chromium version incorporated much earlier already.)

@monsterhart You are right.

The extension was intended for older versions of Opera, where there was no drag'n'drop functionality present for extension icons.

With recent versions of Opera just drag the icons of pinned extensions with the mouse to re-arrange them.

What's the reasoning behind DNA-100721 Remove DNS-over-HTTPS UI elements?

Advanced sync settings were missing in last dev-build. In this build opera://settings/syncSetup is there, but I cannot find a place to enter sync encryption passphrase.

This build seems to insert something like Today Opera OPRDesktop 28.0 core 1750.0, May 25, 2022. Active patches: 21 just before </body> of every HTML page.

@johnd78 Right.

And browserAction.getBadgeTextColor returns [0, 0, 0, 0], i.e. transparent black, not some opaque shade of red like [255, 0, 0, 255].

Just like some builds a few month ago, this build again starts up with fulfilling media query @media (prefers-color-scheme: dark) {…} despite having the light theme active (toggling →dark theme → light theme is a workaround for the session).
[Win10x64; a page like docs.microsoft will do for testing]
