Opera, the popular Chromium based web browser, released new stable 137 version last night.<\/p>\n

The new version of this multi-platform browser introduced some new features, including the long-requested per-window vertical tab state, and various bug-fixes.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

With Early Bird, the function to get early access to new features, it now has #vertical-tabs-collapse-per-window<\/code> enabled. In the case, it will save the vertical tab width and collapsed status separately on per window basis, instead of always have same tab state across windows.<\/p>\n

It also has #emergency-session-restore<\/code> enabled, which has several safer recovery fallbacks when normal session restore is interrupted or fails, thus it’s much less likely to lose tabs after a crash.<\/p>\n

Opera 137 now has #vertical-tabs-drag-to-pin<\/code> enabled by default. Meaning user can simply drag and drop a tab to the top of vertical tab strip to pin it as favorite.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The release also enables #opera-one-react-settings<\/code> by default, which rebuilt the settings page with React, though there’s no visible difference for average uses.<\/p>\n

For Linux, VP9 and AV1 decoding now works in Snap build. And, it fixed several crashes as well as websites reacting issue on touch screens.<\/p>\n

Other changes in Opera 137 include:<\/p>\n
