Opera One just dropped an update that makes it a much better browser for video lovers and remote workers alike. The update brings YouTube and Twitch into the sidebar, a native volume booster that cranks audio up to 500%, and a fully revamped Picture-in-Picture mode.

YouTube and Twitch are now in the sidebar

If you like having a stream or tutorial running while you work, you know how annoying it is to keep jumping between tabs. Opera One solves that by giving you one-click access to YouTube and Twitch directly from the browser sidebar. You can pin the panel for a side-by-side view or pop the video out into a floating overlay that you can drag anywhere on screen.

A volume booster that cranks up to 500%

We’ve all been there. You find a great old tutorial or lecture, and the audio is so quiet you have to press your ear to the speaker. Most people turn to third-party volume-boosting extensions, but those come with their own problems, including even some security warnings.

Opera One is the first major browser to build a native volume booster and it goes all the way up to 500%. Better yet, you get per-tab control. So you can keep background music low while boosting that quiet video in another tab to the max.

Better picture-in-picture for remote work

The Video Popout feature has also been completely overhauled. It now supports any video conferencing app that works with PiP, including Zoom. You also get per-site control over Auto-PiP permissions instead of a global toggle, and the floating window now matches your Opera One theme.

If you spend a lot of time juggling video calls and browser tabs, this update is worth a look.
