Noted that the sound indicator icon on the tab is highlighted with a blue color. Also the PiP ( picture in picture ) feature is a bit more snappy.

Opera has warned YouTube content creators that scammers are using its brand name in a phishing mail campaign. This is a pretty common trick used by attackers to fool users into believing they are communicating with a well known brand, and make a profit out of it.

Opera now lets you ditch boring web links and use emojis instead

Opera is becoming the first browser to enable emoji-only based web addresses. For the first time in the history of the internet, users will be able to navigate the web by entering solely a string of emojis into the URL bar instead of letters and words.

Opera 84 final is out with Paste Protection - gHacks Tech News

Opera Software released Opera 84 to the stable channel on February 16, 2022. The new version of the Chromium-based web browser introduces the new protective feature Paste Protection.

www.ghacks.net

Paste Protection aims to protect sensitive Clipboard content by informing users about potential manipulations. Users who copy data such as banking account numbers or crypto wallet identifiers are informed by the browser if the content is manipulated. Malware may target these specifically so that transactions are hijacked if the user does not pay attention to the target addresses.
Paste Protection warns users only so that they are aware of potential manipulations. Pasting is not prevented though.

 

[upnorth]

The new paste protection feature tested, but it's a little " hit and miss " at the moment and don't cover everything. I'll guess it will improve over time. Good idea anyway.

Opera 86 dev channel update brings horizontal tab scrolling - gHacks Tech News

Opera browser has added support for horizontal tab scrolling in the latest dev channel build. But it uses buttons, instead of the mouse wheel.

www.ghacks.net

The feature, called Horizontal tab scrolling, places an arrow button at either end of the tab bar, clicking on which takes you to the left or the right of the list respectively. Opera's tab bar, unlike that of other browsers, keeps resizing the size of tabs dynamically, as you open more and more tabs. This makes it difficult to find a particular tab, which is why the new feature could be useful. But at this point, I think the Search Tabs panel is still the better way to manage tabs.

Avast wont block sites in opera desktop, but does block on android

Does it work now? Avast's Web shield works system-wide, irrespective of the browser or any app (Not sure if HTTPS scanning works in Opera). So there shouldn't be any issue.

Opera for Android Integrates FIO Protocol. Secure your free @opera crypto wallet handle

Millions of Opera users on Android will now be able to send and receive any type of crypto to easily readable wallet handles. Opera offers @opera crypto handles for free

blogs.opera.com

We have completed the integration of the FIO Protocol in our flagship Android browser in partnership with the Foundation for Interwallet Operability (FIO). The FIO Protocol is an open-source, decentralized usability solution that works across all blockchains, and uses human-readable Crypto Handles (e.g. hello@opera) to replace the complexity, risk, and inconvenience of transacting with long-string public wallet addresses.
The FIO Protocol grants Opera for Android users the ease of sending and receiving digital currency to and from their Opera Crypto Wallet using these FIO Crypto Handles. You can register your @opera FIO Crypto Handle for free. This integration is the latest step in Opera’s mission to make crypto more accessible to our users by providing a single point of access to highly usable and interoperable web3 products.
