Opera beta for Linux

[verndog]

Opera-developer now can use google talk plugin, with the new update:
Version: 27.0.1683.0 - Opera is up to date
Update stream: developer
System: Ubuntu 14.04.1 LTS (x86_64; XFCE)

[verndog]

Did you install this extension? https://addons.opera.com/en-gb/exten...ls/?display=en

Yes. All that does is bring you to Hangouts. google-talkplugin is another issue. I've since found out its related to pepper "ppapi" that replaced "npapi"(Netscape).

Wow. Opera is back. I used it years ago and loved it. Tried it a year ago and was not impressed. I just downloaded the the new Opera deb file. Installed it on my Xubuntu and it works great.

Thanks for the tip.

edit: There is one major flaw. Google-talkplugin doesn't work. It keeps saying to install google-talk, which is already installed. I use it all the time on Firefox.
It works using Firefox, but not Opera. One wold think " NPAPI deprecation" would also apply to Firefox.

I've just installed Opera developer (version 27.0.1676.0)

Shhh! Don't tell Opera that I'm not a developer of their browser.

[otisklt]

Using it as my alt, since my rekonq started crashing.
Not very fond of all the chrome variants but ... this one is decent.

Im so happy that Opera is coming back to Linux. It was my browser of choice for many years until they stopped Linux support. Waiting for it to come out of beta though...

[Rog132]

There are several ways to look the bookmarks...




The Opera can use the Pepper...



The opera-developer & opera-beta are recommending the pepperflashplugin-nonfree.
