This must by far be the most useless change ever!!
I makes my tabs go "micro" sized because i use the whole tab bar when surfing. Not a nice surprise.
And i have found no way to change it sitting on Ubuntu 18 and Opera 55.
And the fact that the HTML% needs to be redone every time there is an upgrade to the browser. As of this update i cant even play games on FB .
I need ti switch browser if this doesn't go away in a hurry. 😞

@jimunderscorep That was it exactly, thanks!

Every flavor of the Mint-X theme causes it apparently, which is a little frustrating but I can adjust.

It's probably because the site identifies the browser as a mobile one, thus it returns the mobile version of the page. Grab a user agent switcher extension from addons.opera.com, install it and switch the user agent to chrome or firefox to check.

p.s. Bbc news is displayed properly here.

Please prove, to me at least, that vivaldi does come with widevine support...
I will not talk on how to get widevine support on opera, do a search.

@samscalet

where i can find this so called "menu" ??

What happens when you press the ALT key? At least on Windows systems the menu will pop up, maybe this will bring back the Opera menu icon too on your system.

There is no ppa for opera, for a couple of reasons. First, opera has its own repo, which is this, and it has been around since I remember using opera

deb http://deb.opera.com/opera/ stable non-free

Second, opera is closed source and launchpad (home of all those ppas) only hosts open source projects.

Finally, when you install opera from its deb file, apt also installs its repo and the key for it, so there is no need for the user to do anything more in order to update opera.

@jimunderscorep said in Incognito black Opera theme:

As it seems, no. Opera seems to switch to light theme for private mode.

@michaelbr Thanks. I was hoping Opera wasn't going to be as finicky as the others and not pimp out my Internet usage. I've taken to shopping the paid browsers - but the cost of maintaining my right to privacy is getting too expensive. Easier, and almost worth it to shoot the router. 🙂

Good luck with FF.
