Introducing Opera 102

August 23rd, 2023

Greetings everyone,

We’re happy to unveil the initial release of Opera 102, packed with a host of improvements to elevate your browsing experience. This version delivers a collection of fixes and enhancements that refine your interactions with Opera Browser. Let’s dive into the highlights of what’s in store for you:

Chromium Update

We’ve kicked things off by updating the Chromium engine to desktop-stable-116-4880, version 116.0.5845.97. This ensures that you’re benefiting from the latest under-the-hood advancements, resulting in improved performance and compatibility.

Enhanced Stability

Say goodbye to unexpected crashes! We’ve addressed a crash issue associated with the crash_reporter::(anonymous namespace)::AbslAbortHook function (DNA-110040). This fix guarantees a more stable and reliable browsing journey.

Smoother Alt Key Navigation

No more surprises when pressing the Alt key! The issue of the O-menu opening unexpectedly on websites that have actions for Alt key presses (DNA-110315) has been resolved. Enjoy a seamless navigation experience without any hiccups.

Polished Tab Display

We know that details matter. Visual inconsistencies caused by tabs with oversized favicons (DNA-110440) are now a thing of the past. The tab favicons are now neatly cropped to fit perfectly within the tab size, ensuring a harmonious visual display.

Refined Tab Icons

We’ve also tidied up tab titles! Mute icons will no longer overlap with tab titles (DNA-110510), offering a cleaner and more appealing interface.

Polished Tab Bar Alignment

A subtle but important fix—tabs now align seamlessly with the address bar, even when the tab group is placed first (DNA-110526). This small adjustment adds a touch of elegance to your browsing layout.

For our international users, we’ve included translations for Opera 102 (DNA-110892), making Opera Browser more accessible and user-friendly across the globe.

Stay tuned for more exciting updates, as we continue to refine and innovate to make your online journey smoother and more delightful.
