Hi, Dear Opera Users!

We’ve rolled out a new Opera Stable release built on Chromium 150, plus a broad round of polish and stability fixes.

Key highlights

• Updated to Chromium 150.0.7871.212.
• Vertical Tabs are now available for everyone, including the new pinned tab grid layout.
• Google Lens image search from the Start Page is now available for everyone. You can search using a URL, an uploaded file, or a pasted image, and the Start Page search now uses the refreshed Google icon.
• Refreshed Google service icons across the sidebar, sidebar setup, and Speed Dials.
• A round of Split Screen fixes, including a crash, an icon-centring bug, and tabs being incorrectly marked as pinned or active after certain actions.
• Tab reliability improvements: fixed crashes in the tab cycler and when reloading multiple selected tabs, plus fixes for the Google Meet recording indicator.
• Themes no longer freeze when the browser window loses focus, and the theme gallery now adapts to the monitor size.
• Fixes for pop-out and fullscreen behaviour on Windows and Mac
• Various smaller fixes across DevTools, Bookmarks, Browser Connector, Settings, Easy Setup, Speed Dial, and the SoundCloud player icon in Dark Theme.
• Fixed MV2 extensions being blocked on each browser startup and a crash when using a custom search engine.
