Video pop-out is not fixed.

@Opera-Comments-Bot said in Opera 66.0.3502.0 developer update:

The Easy setup’s show sidebar and show news toggles now work in private windows

Not true, both still do not work.

According to the changelog youre fixing your own bugs, not the user ones.

1. address bar's vertical separator looks too high.
   
2. • Badge(page info) popup looks trimmed at the bottom
   • green text is still too thin and not centered with the badge icon
   • you did something bad with the popup's (page info/vpn/downloads)
     borders and comparing to previous versions the borders look too
     thick/blurry now.
     
3. Previously bookmarks bar's folders dropdowns had shadowed borders, now they look simply flat, the same is with context menus.
   
   *just compare how clean the shadowed popups look in Edge(chromium)

It's enough to report an issue once per version(not build)/channel.

Keep repeating that your pet bugs weren't fixed on every single release will not help them being solved earlier.

It's funny that while I'm here in the blog using Edge I noticed that the built in Edge anti-tracker blocks trackers from 5 sites. Whereas Opera's trackers blocker finds nothing.

• It seems that it depends on the tracking protection level selected in Settings because if I select 'basic' in Edge, it also blocks nothing, if I selected 'balanced(recommended)', it blocks. It means that anti-tracker in Opera works as 'basic' and allows most trackers, I think that in Opera there could be the similar levels of protection, especially after presenting the anti-tacker as a new feature.

@andrew84 Maybe it's just a matter of the list used? Opera uses Easy Privacy.

@leocg: Obviously. But I have no idea what lists the Edge does use.
Maybe Opera should use more lists(trusted) in this case.

@leocg: when opening a pdf link, only shows a blank page (with gray background).
But it's ok with other browsers.
for example: https://journals.plos.org/plosone/article/file?id=10.1371/journal.pone.0223746&type=printable

*Add options in sidebar settings for Bookmarks/History buttons, then users can choose whether they want to open panel or internal page when clicking on sidebar's bookmarks/history icons.
*make dark tooltips for items in these panels (like on internal pages) in dark mode.

**Also the same navy color as for the hovered/selected item in sidebar panels could be used on internal History/Bookmarks pages too (instead of current's dark gray on dark gray). And the same color could be used everywhere for the hovered items in context menus and bookmarks bar folders instead of that ugly inversed white selection while in dark mode.
Currently I see no uniformity there.

remove that solid background while hovering address bar, leave only the blue border and change the simple gray icon's highlighting color to blue color accents (with a bit blurred/glowed edges) like it was shown in your reborn3 announcement video.

Look at the Tip and Test Profile info, to check on a Clean Profile if future problems.

These toggles should be in EasySetup, I think (I'm not sure about booking.com toggle in Settings).

To save the space and reduce scrolling the dark them selection could be also replaced be toggle button.

@andrew84: Keep the option to get rid of the booking/ continue shopping trash. I don't need it so I'll keep it disabled.
