Dear Opera Users!

Opera has released a new initial update, it is based on Chromium version: 148.0.7778.97

Here’s what changed in this update:

• Vertical Tabs (available in Early Bird)
  • Drag and drop entire tab islands as a group
  • Smooth animations when expanding/collapsing tab islands
  • Fixed: tab strip staying open in theme editor
  • Fixed: too much space between tab strip and page content
  • Fixed: tab islands ungrouping randomly after restart
• Google Meet
  • Fixed: PiP buttons requiring multiple clicks on Windows
  • Fixed: PiP window resizing only working from the top edge
• Other Fixes
  • Fixed: “Next” button hidden on 14-inch displays during onboarding
  • Fixed: split screen icon appearing white in light mode
  • Fixed: missing hover effect on “add new tab” button
  • Fixed: a browser crash in vertical tab panel visibility

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

Known issue:

• We’re aware of a bug affecting the split screen address bar. If you expand a domain chip by double-clicking it, press ESC to close, and then drag the chip to reorder, the domain chips disappear entirely. A full browser restart is required to bring them back. We’re working on a fix.

Happy browsing!
