    Oh! Nobody here? Just downloading and installing. 🙂

    • Kornelia

      We’re here 🙂

  • Kai Ockendorf

    Installed it & opening the browser is always a disaster for a couple of builds!! When you open it, you see a blank white page for over 15 seconds…after that it’s fine & the browser starts to load! Also, when you close the browser, the red X turns a bit darker and it won’t close immediately! It takes a while & you see the mouse “working circle” on your mouse pointer! That all can’t be normal…W10x64, Ox64

    • NoName

      This is not normal for me.
      Do you still have the problem with a new USB installation?

      • Kai Ockendorf

        I never did an USB installation! This behavior shows up at an update & with the installer! Both versions (Dev & Beta) are infected, even if you only start the browser. Stable is ok!

        • NoName

          Your stable might be infected over time, when a new version is released.
          So it would be nice to find out why.

          I asked if you tried it. Installing a USB installation is an easy way to install a clean version of Opera without tampering anything on your current installation.

          If the problem persist on a clean installation, then you know that it’s not your profile that is messed up.

          • Kai Ockendorf

            Ok! Thanks for the hint! Will try that 😉

          • Kai Ockendorf

            Did this USB installation! Had a blank white page too during the installation, but not that long! Opening the browser works really fine, but closing is the same behavior:

            when you close the browser, the red X turns a bit darker and it won’t close immediately! It takes a while & you see the mouse “working circle” on your mouse pointer!

            so I’m a bit confused now…

  • Ralf Brinkmann

    I see the same problem described in earlier versions: Opera wants to be the standard program for PDF files.

  • NoName

    I still cannot use Alt+Shift+Left or Right to move the Opera window in Windows.

    • Robert Tomaszewski

      Hi NoName, probably you meant Win+Left or Win+Right – it works on Opera. Alt+Shift+Left does not work in any other Windows applications as moving the app window.

      • NoName

        Yea, correct. I changed it. It’s supposed to be Win+Shift+Left.
        That’s the shortcut that does not work 🙂

    • Dmitrij D

      It just doesn’t work when Opera is maximized btw.

      • NoName

        Correct 🙂

        If I do a Win+Shift+Right and then restore the window with Win+Down, it suddenly changes screen while restoring as well.

    • Blapidoup

      I found a workaround, press left then right (or opposite). Or double left/right
      That’s a very strange bug.

    What about this flash video problem? https://disqus.com/home/discussion/operablogdesktop/private_opera_developer_43024200_update/#comment-3020506022
    It’s still there. The video does not play. Opera does not automatically switch to HTML5.

    • Leonardo Gomes

      Try enabling ‘prefer html5 over Flash’ in flags.
      This way, videos will be played with html5 if available.

      • Ralf Brinkmann
        • Leonardo Gomes

          Maybe you need to block Flash in settings.

          • Ralf Brinkmann

            Ha ha ha. What should be the sence of this? Then I can also disable the flash plugin or uninstall it and can no longer play one of these little videos here: http://www.lustigestories.de/fun/videos/videos_show.php?video_id=51. Have you tried it out yourselve?

          • Leonardo Gomes

            Well have Flash blocked and I whitelist only the sites I would like (need would be more correct) to play Flash content.

            Maybe you can block Flash for that site so html5 player will be used.

          • Ralf Brinkmann

            I think Opera can do better!

          • Leonardo Gomes

            For sure, since it is an issue. Opera could, for example, always try to load media content using html5 if available.

          • Arjan van Leeuwen

            This is not how it works though. It’s the web site that detects what to serve, not a choice the browser makes. The browser can just say what it’s able to do, and the web site serves up this or that video depending on that.

          • Ralf Brinkmann

            Yes, and then it should work. Opera has two possibilities and offers them. And if the website selects one of them it should work. Google Chrome works with both kinds of videos, Firefox does and also Vivaldi. Wen had the same problem with one of the older Versions for some time and then it was fixed. Now we have it back.

          • Arjan van Leeuwen

            I’m not sure you understand what I’m saying.

            The web site is free to serve content that Opera cannot play, since it might not do this check correctly and (for example) always serve Flash videos to Opera. Opera in this case has no way to ‘know’ that there’s an HTML5 video somewhere on the internet as well. Bad user agent sniffing still happens in 2016 🙂

            So, you should try changing the user agent and see if that fixes it. If it does, this is an issue on the web site. Tell them to fix it 🙂

          • Ralf Brinkmann

            I’m not sure if you understand what I replied. If Opera does not know that there is a HTML5 video, then it should play the flash content. Flash is installed and should work. But in this case it doesn’t.

          • Arjan van Leeuwen

            Ah, ok, now I see that you have the flag enabled. Let me tell you what the flag does:
            * It tells web sites that Opera does not have Flash installed

            This makes the web site not serve any Flash content to Opera. This is the purpose of the flag. It’s then up to the web site to serve HTML5 content instead. This doesn’t work on all sites, but the idea of this flag (which comes from Chromium, not from Opera) is to force sites to make HTML5 content available.

            If you don’t like it, don’t enable the flag 🙂
            > If Opera does not know that there is a HTML5 video, then it should play the flash content.

          • Ralf Brinkmann
          • Leonardo Gomes

            Strange, I can’t play Flash on that page no matter what setting I select for Flash.
            Probably because ‘prefer html5 over flash’.

    Britain just passed the most intrusive surveillance laws in the history of democracy. The US elected someone who looks an awful lot like a fascist.

    Please can we make VPN a bit more functional for anonymity?

    I don’t know if there should be a separate VPN mode for anonymous use but cookies will quickly break VPN anonymity. Making cookies accessible from third party sites is a big no-no.
    Using Google whilst logged in to it will break VPN anonymity. Likewise any social media.

    Private mode is a bit too restrictive for normal use.

    Also, employ a security expert to verify that you’re not giving our data to the NSA etc.

    Since most recent beta posts are 5 days old, I’ll post this here: eBay is currently not working properly with Opera and also Vivaldi and Slimjet, meaning chromium based browsers. For example, the page link below shows ok, but change the sort or click on the links to the side and one gets a page of code, with the following message:
    “This XML file does not appear to have any style information associated with it. The document tree is shown below.”

    Hm…I installed windows x64 version, but I can’t install updates successfully with the push. The way I can succeed in updating is download file in this page.

    • Leonardo Gomes

      For me, auto update is working.

      There’s any error message when you try to auto update?

      • Nan

        The windows will show that opera can’t install. However, it won’t tell me why.
        If your auto update can work, maybe I should try to uninstall and install it again.

  • beBoss

    In opera you have pinned 10-15 tabs, then decide to watch a video on your second monitor so, u r open a new tab and then drag in it to the second monitor, so this tab becomes a window. After a while you need to restart you computer, you are closing your windows with pinned tabs and then you are fuck*d, because opera is not close, right you have that window that you watch a video or something else on your second monitor, and you have to close it too. What that means? It means that when you start opera again will open only your last session/last tabs were closed…. And to have you main windows you use open you have no option, so you have to go to history and reopen every tab and to pin it again and blabla. This should be fixed/added as feature or idk, but it’s annoying..

    • Blapidoup

      Exit Opera through the menu or Ctrl+Shift+X.
      One way is to replace Alt+F4 and the close button on the top left right to use Ctrl+Shift+X, but that would be even less ergonomic.

      • beBoss

        Why I have to use some hot key combination while Microsoft are created close button. This is opera design problem, and in the previous ver there was a session manager or whatever was where you can open last session/window and wont have any problem.. As i remember there was an option in the new engine in previous ver again, a small button with arrow on the right of the browser where you can open recently closed window, not only the last tabs, but now this option is missing?

        • Blapidoup

          What do you mean by a close button ? Opera has also some close buttons and they follow the other browsers behaviour.

          There is still an arrow on the right of the browser to open closed windows and has never disappeared.

          And you can still open the last session window without problems…

          • beBoss

            by close button I mean the red X button on the right which is windows close button for programs, I don’t need combinations in Windows to close programs… And No there is no arrow button on the right? I don’t have it….

          • Blapidoup

            They just follow Windows guidelines, going against it would be anti ergonomic.

            Regarding the arrow : http://i.imgur.com/5HdsYg7.png

          • beBoss

            I don’t get what you don’t understand. Close button means closing the program. And that means closing that I don’t need shortcuts to close the program… And as I said i don’t have this option…

    • Kornelia

      What do you mean by “wrong place”? Could you send me screenshot?

      • Eugene Galonsky

        This means that it is displayed with offset. Here is explaination screenshot. https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/1730921/operascreen.png Problem appears also in latest stable release.

      • Vux777

        I’m also experiencing this
        http://prntscr.com/ddmgyd

        I believe this is an iframe problem
        iframe nested offset is not counted in when calculating position of the popup,
        you should probably use screen dimensions instead of pageX(Y)

  • Ralf Brinkmann

    After some hours of using Opera (I don’t know, if really “working” or just having opened it with around 30 tabs) I see, that Opera seems to have problems with memory. Sometimes tabs don’t reload or images in the page don’t load anymore, sometimes I see, that a tab, that I just left, is reloading, while I have pressed F5 in the next visited tab. Sometimes Opera simply stops working and freezes. Mostly it does not help to clear the cache inside Opera, I have to close it and use an external tool like CCleaner. But sometimes also after doing this Opera does not restart properly and opens only one tab and freezes again. Then I have to shut down all open programs/applications and restart Windows. It is difficult to describe, because I didn’t find out any rule.
    I think somebody else has mentioned this a while before.

    still 2 mentioned bugs active:

    (2) trying to start Opera_dev under Ubuntu 14-gnome (using .rpm-“install”), the keyring request pops up, again and again:

  • redfox

    Could anyone from the Opera team tell me, why the SurfEasy Proxy extension is a trial only and the built-in VPN in Opera 39+ is unlimited? These products seem to be the same.
    I need to use the VPN in Windows XP, so I have to install O36 + the said extension, but the free 500 MB limit is not sufficient. Why this extension is not unlimited too, if used with the Opera software (O36)? Thanks.

    • Leonardo Gomes

      They are different products. As far as I know, the extension allows you to choose among a wider range of places to connect, not to mention other things not available in the built-in VPN.

    Strange behavior after changing and removing themes in the “Customize start page”

    Steps to reproduce:
    1. Go to “Customize start page”: http://jpegshare.net/39/2a/392ae7d200d241bac2213661e17fd9a7.jpg.html
    2. Choose a different theme: http://jpegshare.net/5a/8d/5a8dcb3245fcbd759b461055ce3dd57c.jpg.html
    3. Remove the previous theme: http://jpegshare.net/5e/bf/5ebf9fecfab297c0b36c5be102ba11db.jpg.html

    Actual result: This theme will be shown before we close the “Customize start page”: http://jpegshare.net/04/e3/04e3533915a35eb95f891b18366088f1.jpg.html
    After closing the “Customize start page” will display the chosen theme: http://jpegshare.net/b1/f7/b1f78cd2d77185b589e5a21f33db90c3.jpg.html

        • Ralf Brinkmann

          Hm. I’m afraid that it is another problem. Have you tried out a clean install? Just close Opera, rename the profile folder (for testing purpose) and restart Opera. Opera will create a new, virgin profile. Later you can rename the old profile folder back. You can find the profile folder via “opera:about”.
