You can also click in a folder to show its speed dials, left-click and hold on a speed dial in the folder, drag it outside the folder between 2 dials that are not in a folder and drop it. It can be a little tricky sometimes though. Using opera://bookmarks will make it way easier.

@MrTeatime said in Why Create New Versions of Opera Instead of Adding Features to One?:

Hi Opera team!
I have a question about your browser development strategy. Currently, there are several versions of Opera, such as Opera GX, Opera Air, and Opera Neon. I’m wondering why you choose to create separate versions of the browser with unique features instead of implementing these solutions as options in a single, main version of Opera.
For example, the features available in Opera Air could just as well be introduced as a "focus mode" in the standard version of Opera. Could you explain what benefits this approach brings both to you and to users?
Thanks, and looking forward to your thoughts!

Hi! 👋
Thanks for the clear explanation! Your answer really helped me understand why separate versions exist—it makes sense for users who want specialized features without cluttering the main browser. Appreciate the insight!

In Opera GX only, you can goto the URL opera://settings/early_bird, turn on the Guest Tabs" feature and restart Opera. Then, when you're on a site, you can right-click the tab and choose to open that site in a guest tab to sign into that site with a different account. Guest tabs work in a normal window. No need to use a private window.

The downside Guest Tabs though is that all guest tabs share the same session. This means the feature will only allow you to log into a site one 1 extra account.

With that said though, it shows that Opera might be able to hack something in themselves. It might just take a lot of work.

It really is a bummer that in Chromium, all tabs in all private windows share the same session. Would be nice if Chromium could do something about that.

I think Zen on the other hand does something cool. You can create extra workspace and then set each workspace to use a different profile (and therefore session). That might be nice. too.

Posting about your problem

After have done the steps above and confirmed that the problem is most probably in Opera, it's time to post about it.

Hi,

I ran into a very similar issue recently where one specific page loaded fine in Chrome/Edge but not properly in Opera (parts of the content would stay blank). In my case it turned out to be Opera’s built-in blocking features interfering with some scripts.
A few things that helped:

Temporarily disable Opera’s ad blocker and tracking protection (it can sometimes block JS resources or lazy-loaded sections).

list itemOpen Developer Tools → Console and check if any scripts are failing to load.

list itemTry Guest mode or a fresh profile to rule out extension conflicts.

list itemDisabling hardware acceleration also fixed rendering problems for me on one site.

I also had this happen on one of my own pages, but after adjusting the blocker settings + checking console errors, it started loading normally again.

If you can post any console error output, it’ll be much easier to pinpoint the exact cause.

@sicu220 It offers them as part of the membership subscription for $19.90 as Best-in-class models: GPT-5.2, Gemini 3, Nano Banana PRO, Veo 3.1, Sora 2, and more.

Didn't find details about requests/tokens offered by the membership but more productivity expected from using Neon browser.

It looks like Kroger’s website is blocking access from your browser for some reason, which is why you see that permission error. This can happen due to security settings, cookies, or your IP being temporarily flagged.

A few things you can try: clear your browser cache and cookies, disable any VPN or proxy you might be using, or try using a private/incognito window. If it still doesn’t work, switching to another browser (like you mentioned works) is the simplest solution.

Sometimes these errors are temporary and resolve on their own after a while.
