I feel the need to point out that with this update, Opera went to Chromium "124.0.6367.62"… yes you read that right ".62" which is a build long before both recent 0-day exploits (it is from last month).

To be clear, Opera is not faster at responding to the CVE-2024-4761 0-day than Edge or Brave (or Chrome and Vivaldi obviously), it is much, much slower. Unless they have backported security fixes and their Changelog gives no indication of that https://blogs.opera.com/desktop/changelog-for-110/ , they are missing all of the following security improvements

• High CVE-2024-4761: Out of bounds write in V8 [0-day exploit in the wild]
• High CVE-2024-4671: Use after free in Visuals [0-day exploit in the wild]
• High CVE-2024-4558: Use after free in ANGLE
• High CVE-2024-4559: Heap buffer overflow in WebAudio
• High CVE-2024-4331: Use after free in Picture In Picture
• High CVE-2024-4368: Use after free in Dawn
• Critical CVE-2024-4058: Type Confusion in ANGLE
• High CVE-2024-4059: Out of bounds read in V8 API
• High CVE-2024-4060: Use after free in Dawn
