@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.

@fuliozor Type opera://activity in address bar to see tabs from other devices.

@leocg: It's nice! But maybe you have button to this action? Like it was in previous version. And list of recent closed tabs was perfect feature!

@xantares: personally i would simply use the ctrl + tab to look through all the tabs in a fast manner

@fuliozor There is the one in side bar but it's kinda erratic.

@simcard Not yet. The built-in "Aliexpress observer" extension from Opera only appeared in Opera 68.0.3616.0 developer. I think this is an experiment at the moment. To get more information, we need to wait for the next developer builds.

Connection to the Cloudflare DNS server:
The test took a little longer this time. But finally Opera lost the connection again. So it's not completely fixed yet.

Bottom left and bookmarks bar folders tooltips still have the light background instead of dark.

Interesting is that you use the lighter blue background for selected items in the sidebar's bookmarks/history panels in darkmode (that looks pleasant to eyes), but don't want using the same for bookmarks bar dropdowns (and menus/context menus)

@andrew84 The former is probably implemented with web technologies (HTML, JS, CSS) while the latter is probably implemented with native platform widgets. If so, the latter probably takes more work and perhaps more patching of the Chromium UI to get things to match.

@burnout426 Maybe. But in GX it's possible to select any color for the highlighting (and this affects on both panel's items and bookmarks dropdown's items).

Some visual issues on Personal News page (in Stable version as well).

• Comparing to 58 version the sources expanding arrow position is weird here (it's located in upper position and too close )
  
• search section looks solid blue and not separated from the background.
  
• highlighting effect for the source's item has a weird section.
  
• page has invisible header (I can't scroll upper)
  
  in 58 there's a separator line

@andrew84 Cool. Then perhaps it's something they can easily do in regular Opera then.

@burnout426: But it seems that they don't want to change it and think that the high contrasting items look great. At least during a ~ year there wasn't any feedback about impossibility to change it, so it means that this an intentional design.

When I open the heart icon(bookmarks) I have missing folders, but when I click on the link "Open full bookmarks view" folders are there...

Very pissed off that the adblock exclusion list keeps returning after every update despite me deleting it.
Will now be using Adguard.
