On September 17, 2026, Opera released Stable version 136, built on Chromium 152.0.7977.120, adding support for the chrome.sidePanel API to allow extensions to render their own side panels.

Previously, on September 16, Opera outlined its 2026 outlook, focusing on an AI-enhanced browser suite designed for high-monetization users who require gaming-optimized or AI-integrated workspaces. Earlier, on September 15, the General Court upheld the European Commission's decision not to designate Microsoft Edge as a gatekeeper under the Digital Markets Act (DMA), despite the browser meeting quantitative thresholds, a ruling that referenced "Opera Norway" and recognized competitor standing to challenge non-designation decisions. Also on September 15, Opera reported its second-quarter revenue rose 25% year-over-year to $178.1 million, surpassing its guidance range, with Net Income of $27.6 million and adjusted EBITDA up 32% to $42.4 million.
