Nope happens to me too. Looking for older opera Mobile deb
Try the following: Delete the file /home/user/.local/share/applications/defaults.list then enter settings and select a default browser again.
Please report back if it resolves the issue or not.

There is a question about Youtube that has not been solved by the latest update to 12.0.08. If you access m.youtube.com using Opera and play a video, then on my device, it plays on a purple-themed native videoplayer that has a button on the bottom left that opens the video gallery. If you access the same site using the N9's native browser, then the video plays in a videoplayer with a deep electric blue theme of much higher playback quality.
The page Opera receives contains RTSP video links that will be opened in the default video player on the phone.
The native browser receives a different page and the video player is part of the browser itself. I'm guessing it's HTML5 video but I have not investigated further.
In short, there is nothing to be done about it.

For Terminal beginners, you just open terminal and type in:
cd /home/user/.local/share/applications/
rm defaults.list
Then just reboot your phone.

Also, I was wondering if a third party app like Cutetube, which accesses the HTML browser, could be cause for hope that Opera could use some similar strategy to create a solution?
True to my word, I have been using Opera as my default browser and I am quite impressed. My use case involves a lot of reading and browsing, so Opera's strengths are helpful, like the find-on-page function and the select a word and search function. Good work.

Thanks again for your hard work on porting Opera Mobile for this awesome platform.

I did not update Opera Mobile as I wanted to keep the version with Harmattan VKB support (though incomplete and buggy, I know, but when you know it and have the choice to use it or not, that's OK), but is there a "Copy URL" in the context menu in the next versions? It would often be useful (to me at least).

Just learned today that Opera Mobile supports bookmarklet and unlike default browser it CAN be added to Bookmarks, not straight but doable though a bookmarking a random site and replace URL with the script.
behold, Inverted color mode using Darken !!
Please consider adding possiblity to lock Opera orientation, so that I can use its portrait mode while lying down.
