Hello,

We’re happy to announce that Opera 88 enters beta today.

We’re keeping up with Chromium, which is version 102.0.5005.22 in this build. There’s a small correction in the address dropdown feature, and we’ve also enabled city information at the bottom. When typing any city name, after 3 letters we recognize and suggest the names of cities. Also, using AccuWeather location autocomplete, the bottom of address dropdown now includes weather information, along with Google Maps and hotels suggestions based on Booking matches for that city.

Known issues: New chromium-ffmpeg snap is not released yet so decoding videos, eg. H.264 won’t be possible for Linux snap packages.

Additional important updates in Opera 88 can be found in the changelog.

Happy browsing!
