IT Home December 18th news, although Opera was once a very popular browser, its market share is only about 2%. Although it was no longer the past, Opera has not stopped innovating and has recently launched a "Lucid model" to greatly improve the user's viewing experience.
According to reports, this is a feature specially used by Opera to optimize the quality of old videos, which can make old and blurry videos look sharper and clearer, especially on high-resolution screens.
Opera uses CSS to sharpen videos and images in web pages to achieve "clearity". IT Home learned that this function requires hardware acceleration and is handled by GPU.
This option is disabled by default. You can choose to sharpen videos on all sites through the sidebar, and also choose to sharpen images on all sites. In addition, when you open a web page containing videos, she will also remind you that you are currently in the "Lucid Mode off" state, and click the corresponding button to enable this function.
Of course, you can also find these options from the browser's settings page: opera://settings/ lucidMode
According to the official introduction, this function will not only reduce the noise of the picture, but also improve the brightness and color effect of the picture, making the picture more layered.
Opera Official description:
This function is suitable for all videos, such as videos on YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and Twitter. Just click the floating button on the video to enable it. When activated, Lucid mode will make the content sharp and clear. It also works with images, and don't let low-quality content get in the way of your viewing experience.
If you want to try this new feature, you need to update Opera to the latest version (93.0.4585.70), and this feature is currently only available for Opera desktop browsers (Windows, Linux and macOS).
