Hi, Dear Opera Users!

We’ve just promoted Opera 135 to Stable! Here’s what’s new: a Chromium bump, a big round of stability and performance work, and a few user-facing improvements.

Key highlights

• Updated Chromium to 151.0.7922.138
• Big round of crash and stability fixes across the browser
• Fixed MV2 extensions being blocked on every browser startup
• Fixed sessions being lost on browser restart
• Reduced overall browser lag and improved performance during panel resize
• Themes no longer freeze when the browser window loses focus
• Fixed auto Picture-in-Picture shrinking every time it was triggered until it reached the smallest size
• Added drag-and-drop for creating tab islands, with a smooth animation and a new “New tab in tab island” button
• Theme Gallery now adjusts to your monitor size
• Enabled Web Audio direct AAC decoding by default
• Fixed the “Make Opera Yours” widget showing to existing users after they’d completed onboarding

You can find the full list in the changelog.

Happy browsing!
