I wonder how many people need to post about this issue before something happens? I've posted about it at the Opera One release thread and there are countless other posts about the same thing.
This new look is breaking things.
UI is now only new and most definitely not improved. -

Not only are the rounded corners annoying, but two light lines have been added to your page frame, one on the left and one on the bottom, these are even more annoying than the rounded corners. Enter the dark page as "speedtest" and you will realize what I'm talking about.Before this disappeared when maximizing the browser (95.0.4635.84), now it is permanently.
Please developers, I've been an Opera user for many years, it's a great browser, don't screw it up with nonsense. Firefox will take a lot of advantage... -

basically, I like round corners but it is not good for notebook laptops as it covers a lot of necessary spaces.

I migrated to Chrome until they fix that nasty effect, it's really unbearable on dark pages. And I have been quite pleasantly surprised in relation to performance, consumption and native translator (glorious). I think I'm going to stick with this for a while.
Good job... -

And when I use dev tools in opera it gives that white frame around. See how ugly this is! All for round win11 style corners.
Fedora on X11 if anyone cares.

I hate the new dev tools ui and the right-click and opera menu having no padding with the buttons...
The new dev tools is probably Chromium's fault but the menu shall be fixed!!
See difference of the top and the bottom with the old one
New (awful)
Old (good)

May I just join this noble society of people who value aesthetics, minimalism and simplicity of straight lines and wisely used space. This rounded corners just ruined Opera's good looks. Please, please give us an option to make Opera straight again!

@nikudza Did you only register to tell us, you're migrating?
I don't understand why you're migrating to Brave then. It has its own record of shady decisions. It's hardy configurable and its development is focused on their BAT stuff while user convenience isn't any priority for them.
Good luck with it! -

Haha, wasn't originally the plan - I registered (again, because, as I understand, opera forums tend to delete old accounts) to join this topic and draw some developer's attention to the problem, having hope that they care. But then I scrolled over the forum a little, and understood that no one gives two farts in a martini, and that opera will never get back to normal design, or give us choice. It really smells like good old microsoft behavior - "eat what we give you". And it's Opera, browser I fell in love with exactly because it's always been so customizable that gave you ability to almost build your own browser. And now it's just an insult to the eye.
Also, Brave, having some issues on it's own, is at least open source.
And, in the end, what is my last argument as a user? Leave. Maybe that's how they hear me... Doubtfully, though. -

And, in the end, what is my last argument as a user? Leave. Maybe that's how they hear me... Doubtfully, though.Opera was an excellent and fast browser when it used the Presto engine. Since it used to have compatibility problems, it switched to WebKit and its performance became a disaster. I had to migrate to Firefox because browsing with Opera with that new engine was frustrating. I remember that the browser options loaded as if it were a website. If your connection wasn't fast, the browser was hell slow. It was like going from heaven to hell overnight.
Over time, Opera moved to Blink and regained its dignity... but the truth is that it basically became Chrome with more functions, which I personally didn't use or were available through extensions. In my tests I was surprised that Opera consumes more RAM and more CPU with about 20 active extensions compared to Chrome, when the opposite was popularly read. No way, goodbye Opera.
The only thing I miss are the shortcuts on the home screen, but you can install extensions for that. Complementing with bookmarks in Chrome is enough for me.
Otherwise, Chrome is between equal and better. -

Chrome will never be better - due to it's functionality and lack of options. But now opera sucks visually so deep - to the point of unusability. In this regard just about any browser is better. Eyes bleed.

I really don't understand how someone could think adding round corners to a browser is a good idea... Even full screens are rounded, which is absolutely ridiculous! Please add a feature to remove rounded corners.

It depends on what you call "never." Opera features can be added to Chrome through extensions. But performance is better in Chrome. I experienced it in practice on a PC with limited resources and the Windows 10 task manager confirmed it.

@somebody2978, I have an opposite experience - on the same old computer with Win7 and pretty little RAM, system showed "not enough memory" error much more frequent with Chrome than with Opera. And about functionality - 1. from the box there is more, 2. more settings in opera, 3. many little and thought through details that make your life easier (like "copy" option when you select a word with a mouse).
Sometimes chrome lacks basic stuff - I remember there wasn't an option to assign a shortcut to Settings in Chrome, and it was such a pain in the neck, especially in the beginning, when you adjust the browser to your needs and go to settings every five minutes. Haven't used it for a while now, maybe they've fixed it, but I doubt that - wouldn't be Google if they did

I understand that it is faster than Chrome and Opera on Win7, I have not tried it but I have seen tests on YouTube.
