All Chromium and Chrome based browsers are having issues with Windows 10 newer Insider builds. So I think you should wait for next build or report to Opera.

Opera 32 worked fine  anyway, it's already reported.

Opera 33 Stable released.

Reducing Chromium’s memory use for faster hardware performance

But, slow networks aren’t the only bottleneck you face — hardware performance matters, too. The majority of the world’s users aren’t on $1500 high-powered laptops; many people, in businesses, schools, libraries, universities and homes across the world are using older machines with less memory, older processors and slower disk drives.

So, since the release of Opera 15, our first Chromium-based browser, Opera’s engineers have been partnering with our Google counterparts to improve the performance of the rendering engine Blink. We’ve leveraged our expertise from our 15 years making our old Presto engine work well on old machines, and you can read lots of nerdy details on the mechanics of what we’ve done in our developer blog post, Opera’s work to reduce Chromium’s memory use.

Collaborating with other teams for a better web

We’ve also been contributing heavily to other ways of improving the web; for example, Blink/ Chromium’s way of showing multicolumn layouts was written by Morten from our R&D Department. Rune from R&D has done lots of work on improving the performance of styling pages so that they render faster. Sigbjørn has played a central role in the soon-shipping Oilpan project to improve how Blink / Chromium cleans up memory (therefore using it more efficiently). We’re also active in Blink Chromium’s Security and Memory teams.

By collaborating with other companies on our shared code base, implementing our own user interface and features on top of that, and iterating rapidly, we’re keeping you on the fastest, most secure browser we can build, while helping to make the web better for everyone.

First 34 beta release!

[+Zlip792 MVC]

Opera 35 Development Begins:

• Simple settings section – so that the most common settings are all together on one page,
• Further downloads improvements – Opera should ask you if you really want to close it and stop currently ongoing download
• Sync – annoying duplicates creation should finally be solved in this cycle
• Easier way to turn bookmarks bar on/off. Currently this setting is so hidden that many users complain we don’t have bookmarks bar at all,
• Something we internally call “Mute me baby” – a way to easier kill annoying sound from the browser
• Addressbar on-click UI suggestions – add a way to display only speed dials there,
• And last but not least – move News to Speed Dial – place News below the SD tiles. This is initial version, there are UI glitches and lack of your own sources addition. You can expect more enhancements to come.

Opera developer 35.0.2064.0 update

This release is more an improvement-laden one. So, along with a few usability and stability fixes, it delivers:

Mute tab improvements

Added “Mute other tabs” and fixed the lack of context menu on pinned tab with media (thanks xirit64!).

Simple settings improvements

As per users’ amassed negative feedback, we have removed the ad-blocking section from the “Basic” settings.

Windows 10 improvements

This is another iteration of the frame color awareness feature on Windows 10. Now:
– the window frame got improved contrast;
– control menu items look better on active and hover;
– you can control the window frame look via the Personalization system controls;
– the changes are visible on all Windows 10 versions, not only Threshold 2.

Initial Opera 36 developer release

 

• Speed Dial – Soon you should be able to see a refreshed, more elegant and easier-to-use solution. You can already find a flag (opera://flags/?search=navi#web-ui-navigation-sidepanel) to put the navigation bar to the left side. Enhanced design and on/off switches for components are also on the way. That ugly, white-blinking effect when switching to bookmarks manager is known, and we are working on a fix now.
• News – This feature should be personalized, super fast to use and customizable. Our work here is continuation of a longer process devoted to enhancements. For the next version, we’re also looking  into supporting RSS feeds via News.
• Simple, yet powerful UI – On the one hand, we want to simplify the UI, removing, for example, the sync button from the top UI. But, on the other hand, we’d like  to give you more tools and options to adjust your browser according to your preferences. What would you like to see?
• More extensions on the toolbar – The long-awaited expander should be delivered in this cycle, which is important for those of you who use a lot of extensions.
• Windows 10 UI improvements – This is something you have already seen in O35 cycle that should now be finalized and delivered to the stable version.
• Synchronization engine improvements – These should mean you get fewer l server-connection kickouts, improving reliability of the service.
• A few more stealth projects – More will be revealed about these later.
