  Interesting, I haven't noticed that. On both Opera for Android and Opera Mini for Android there aren't any favicons there. Of course I agree that it would be much easier if it was. +1

  I'd prefer click-to-play, just like Flash video content.

  Firefox 41 (to be released) fixes this issue and they have discussed the UX to length here https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=659285

  If you are talking about 12.16, maybe it has reached the limit of entries?

  I have also noticed that Opera fails to remember the print settings.

  I don't know if it's the Google/Chromium influence or Opera itself, but I find many places where the new versions of Opera don't follow standard Windows program conventions.

  If you have many tabs open, it can be better with a vertical menu. But as we now have good sidebar extensions with vertical tabs, I think they solve the problem better, although I think tab menu is a nice, easy, native alternative. Therefore I want an option to disable open tabs in tab menu.

  I consider myself as power user but I never had issue with that... even with 50 tabs+. Is there even one user that really think that feature is usefull and really using it? Using it once a year doesnt count... Regular users have 1 maybe 2 tabs so why do we need that feature... Dont forget that Opera is targeting on regular users only!

  It's really a matter of numbers and business sense. The fact is, MOST people want new and cool rather than old and proven. And numbers drive business decisions. Vivaldi will undoubtedly fail due to the simple fact that it only appeals to a very, very small group of geeks longing for a return to the 90's-style suite. It didn't really set the world on fire then and it won't now by an even wider margin. The world of technology has moved on past the suite, dong. It is what it is. Most computing today is done on mobile devices believe it or not. I dumped my tower a few years back since I found it too confining and bought one of the first ultra-books. And even now, I find that at least half of what I do online is done on my smart phone and a tablet. Most users today do not want email clients, instead opting for web mail and social media communication. Of course there will always be room for email clients BUT they really only appeal to businesses and a very small group of consumers who are still stuck on that mode of communication. Opera is not going to develop the older mail client so don't waste your time hoping for the impossible. Mozilla cut loose Thunderbird a few years back and it's now being maintained by the public. There's no money in it. It's a losing proposition and not worth a company applying resources to its development. I'm surprised that Von Tetzchner actually believes he can be successful with this old-style suite. Perhaps that inability to looked forward to the future is why he was ultimately pushed out of Opera altogether.

  If you agree it should be done but for different reasons, wouldn't it make more sense to say "yes, do it for these reasons also" rather than argue that my reasons are insufficient?

  Directly to your point though, the developers may be a long way off from fixing all the features of both the dialog and any that remain in the tree. Separating these functions would allow any user, developer, or tester to enable one or the other as their use-case demanded.

  Don't just post to say "Please add this" or "I want Opera to have that" just because you prefer it that way. Try to explain briefly why you need it and why you think it would be useful for other users;

  I know that this is written in the thread "Before posting a Suggestion/Request, please read this", but sorry I can't explain more... This is just an annoying feature for some people.

  A little on/off button may not be hard to make 🙂

  One more thing: When I'm downloading something with Opera & then I forget about it & hit on "Exit" button, it closes normally (doesn't remind me that I'm downloading the file). So, sometimes it's a problem for me. Is there something changed in my Opera settings, or you guys removed this reminder? If, so, please bring it back in options to choose if someone wants to enable that notification or not.

  I tried it but it's cumbersome. 1. click the opera icon. 2. click the quit button. 3. do you want to close the open tabs?. And I usually don't close apps. I just swipe the app to the left/right to exit. Most androids apps don't even have an 'exit' button so it doesn't feel natural.

  You are all right. Opera is following a more commercial path, and the rest of us, which know better than most of the cows out there, know this is not our path too. That explains the "gainage" of user base. If we were those usual cows, we would never use opera but firefox, IE, and the ultimate google spyware crap. That being said, explains it all, use old opera until it is unusable, and hope for a better world.

  I know exactly what you're saying. In old Opera I would group all my bar items into one folder per location. So I had one for home, one for work etc. I would put bookmarks in that folder and for each I would select "show on personal bar" (or something like that). I really miss this functionality, along with saving as MHT and the notes.

  Dear developers! All are lacking synchronization of all! Bookmarks, Express panels, history, passwords, extensions! Extensions are not synchronized. A Express panel, there is synchronization, but not comfortable. Please Express synchronization panels on all devices the same. As it was before. What the Express panel on PC1, PC2, etc, and on the phone, both the phone and tablet. One Express panel for all devices! Thank you!

  And if you make it a configurable parameter? As it is implemented in a time of Microsoft Windows operating system on the taskbar and "Start" menu. That and I like all of my friends and I who sets up the computer to show interesting presentations and conduct lessons and often view the site full-screen and a little uncomfortable when you press the F11 when emerges not only the tab bar and the address bar and the taskbar of Windows, which some distracting.
