Dear Opera Users!

Opera has released a new initial update, version: 131.0.5877.5

Browser is now based on Chromium 147.0.7727.56.

Many of the changes in this release ranging from crash fixes and UI refinements to improvements in features like Picture-in-Picture, sidebar behavior, and tab handling, were previously introduced and tested in the Developer channel. With this update, they have now made their way into the stable release.

New Ad Blocker (available in Early Bird): A new Ad Blocker implementation is now available in Early Bird, offering improved performance and expanded blocking capabilities.

For a complete rundown, take a look at the changelog.

Known issue: the “Clear data on exit” feature is currently hidden in this version. We’re aware of it and actively working on bringing it back in an upcoming update.

Overall, this release focuses on stability, polish, and delivering tested improvements.

Happy browsing!
