@xantares Yes, following the tendency.

@andrew84 I'd prefer some outlined 'circle' for non-secured icon, like in Edge for example instead of that solid black triangle (exclamation mark is hardly seen actually).

And some blue colored 'lock' icon would look better because the active vpn an adBlock have blue icons. Black 'lock' icon in this case looks for me like something that is not currently switched on.

*If in short, it's better to indicate by colors than by different black icons.

@andrew84 Maybe the change has been made exactly to give those badges/icons a more neutral aspect?

@andrew84: actually never mind the recently closed tabs appear to have been moved to the sidebar within the history section.

@leocg Maybe. But the solid black triangle/lock I can't call neutral (my opinion).

The outlined circle/lock in Edge I can call neutral

@artexjay
The problem is that I don't like using the sidebar, but I use TabMenu quite often.

@xantares: I disagree, I'm not sure what exactly is this new feature (search by page content instead of only title/url?), but I use Ctrl+Space extensively to locate open tabs and for me it's way better than hovering over more than a hundred open tabs (most of which aren't even loaded because I use "Delay loading of background tabs" option to save memory).

Maybe my ”spatial/location memory“ is under-developed, but I always prefer a keyboard shortcut over a mouse movement.

@xantares: I agree about the closed tabs menu, though.

I usually just Ctrl+Shift+T to re-open the last tab but often I need to re-open another tab and that menu is a life saver, especially considering the mess that is the history panel

I see that the built-in extension "Aliexpress observer", id: jaocpokicpmlhbchlodlkiochdkmophj has appeared in this build.
Is it so necessary to keep this extension in RAM all the time?

@leocg: Of course. Neutral is the new green – secure connection the new standard.

But you can un-emphasis using a good design or a bad design from a UI designer's or even typographical perspective.

The new black design doesn't fit into the general distribution of contrast over the UI, for example.

TL;DR: Just because you want to get rid of a green padlock doesn't mean any non-green padlock works.

Notification to update (on macOS) happens before the update to this build is ready

Why Open the Web?

Despite the connecting purpose of the Web, it is not entirely open to all of its users.
When used correctly, HTML documents can be displayed across platforms and devices.
However, many devices are excluded access to Web content.

@xantares Of course can be improvements but I guess tht idead is to not bring much attention to the badges, specially the padlock one.

@johnston5129 I guess that is one of the reasons for the flag to be disabled by default.

In addition to the white flashes while opening Internal pages, I also see the the white flash while the browser is loading (sometimes there's a flash too when I refresh the start page). https://streamable.com/5ihik

• Also on the video you can notice that one of the tiles has a wrong thumbnail picture (red solid background of the Opera blog, it's unclear where it appears from). And the tile becomes correct after page refresh. The same happens on both PCs (you can see the screenshot I posted earlier, there are more wrong tiles)

• No Workspaces visible on Settings internal page (sidebar settings)

Is it an intended behavior that when I have only speed dial tab opened and I switch 'Workspaces' it recreates the speed dial tab again (with closing cross on it). I don't understand the logic.

When I click the cross the current workspace is automatically switched to the last workspace.

I'd like to switch workspaces and see the regular speed dial tab (which can't be closed) without that extra cross on it.
Currently if I click the 'home' icon workspace again for example, I won't see speed dial tab looking like this

it will have cross on it and it will be a closeable tab.

Hey guys, where I can find tabs opened on other devices? Tabs search is good but I need opened tabs on other devices.
And second, can you please add possibility show sidebar ONLY on speed dial. I don't want see sidebar when I browsing sites. But I often open new tab for open news or settings or browser history etc in this case sidebar on speed dial will be very nice.
Thanks

@leocg I'd prefer a small icon always visible on the toolbar better, as most of the weather extensions work (+ tootip with more detailed info)

When I click the icon I get a detailed info popup

• It worse, but the icon could be located on the sidebar instead of toolbar.
