Opera 130 stable arrives with Chromium 146 and Twitch support

Opera has promoted Opera 130 to the stable channel on April 8, 2026, with the release now available for Windows, macOS, and Linux. In its official release, Opera says the new desktop browser build is based on Chromium 146.0.7680.178 and bundles a mix of crash fixes, interface tweaks, and smaller feature updates rather than a major redesign.

Opera 130 stable is now live

Opera says the stable release moves the browser to a Chromium 146 base and brings several fixes for crashes reported in earlier builds, including issues tied to tab interactions, hover previews, UI rendering, and view conversions. Opera’s changelog for version 130 also labels this build as the point where the company promoted 130 to stable.

Opera’s release page also shows download links for Windows, macOS, Linux deb packages, Linux RPM packages, and a Snap package, confirming this is a cross-platform desktop rollout rather than a limited test release.

Most of the visible changes are bug fixes and interface polish

On the user-facing side, Opera highlights a set of interface improvements in this release. These include updates to settings design and description, fixes for Easy Setup layout and visual issues, better placement of the download popup in Split Screen mode, corrections to tab island controls, miniplayer text layout fixes, improved History search cursor visibility in dark mode, and fixes to extension notification popup visuals.

The company also lists several broader browsing and usability fixes. According to Opera, version 130 fixes YouTube push notifications, improves behavior during onboarding and tab import, addresses problems affecting AdBlock custom lists and related UI, fixes an incorrect browser icon in Task Manager, and resolves some Windows-specific issues involving downloads, extensions, and new tab behavior.

Threads and Twitch support are included, but only for Early Bird users

Opera is also using the release to expand sidebar integrations, though not for every user on the stable channel. In the official notes, Opera says Early Bird users can now access Threads and Twitch in the sidebar. The company also says it has updated the messenger landing page URL as part of the same release.

That means Opera 130 stable is more of a maintenance-heavy desktop browser update than a headline feature drop, with the Chromium 146 base, crash fixes, UI cleanup, and selective sidebar additions making up the core of the release.
