Howdy,

The end of summer is the start of the new autumn cycle at Opera. With it comes our new developer build, based on chromium version 78.0.3876.0.

We’ve made a lot of fixes in this build, such as:

    Small Snapshot tool fixes
    Download indicator is fixed
    Context menus are fixed on Linux
    Line divider under the address bar no longer disappears after opening and closing the Bookmarks Bar
    Tab order is correct again after a session restore
    Snap tool snaps to the correct region of the isolation content

More news will come later. If you’re interested in what we’re working on currently, see the full list of changes and improvements.
