  I tried turning the flag on, not the best idea I should say.
  It looks ugly in current view because of the big triangle in the top right corner, especially in light mode when the white triangle overlaps the white toolbar, triangle is not positioned well according to active icon.
  

Another issue is that extensions supporting dark theme (weather for example) will have the white 'tail' on top.

*Better you'd improve the bookmarks bar dropdowns and menus/context menus borders. Comparing to the popups, menus and dropdowns still have blurry and thicker borders. And I wonder if you still think that the menu's and dropdown's white contrasting selected items in dark mode look great and modern

I think it's time for address bars that are a little less long and centered. And perhaps with the auto-hiding feature. The current format generates a great waste of space.

@kened: Opera Neon is a good example of this. He had a small, centralized address bar.

@kened Addresses may be too long to have a short address bar.

@leocg: Sometimes yes; but most of the time urls are short.

@ralf-brinkmann Yes, I also encountered this error. There is no such error in Chrome when using DoH. There is such a topic.

@andrew84 Look how it looked in previous versions of Opera in the past (a tiny triangle), then it was removed for some reason and now it's back again, but in worse look.

I'll keep asking because it's one of your main features and you never answered anything. What's happening with your built-in ad blocker? On YouTube, there are ads in every video.

@ghirahim: most ad blockers haven't been working on youtube for some reason, probably not updated to their new ad servers.

the only one that does for me is Ublock Origin, I have disabled the opera adblocker and actually like it better since it offers more granular control (and blocks youtube ads)

@nintendork07: AdBlock fixed it weeks ago. But Opera devs just don't care. If only they'd say anything. It's easier to ignore our questions.

Still no option for us to return to the old, functional tab cycler? Many users are unhappy with the new cycler and missing closed tabs menu on your forums, Reddit, and elsewhere! Please, developers, listen to our feedback! You're doing such a great job with the other aspects of the browser, and I don't want to be forced to switch!

@atomicthumbs The first linked topic is about recently closed tabs mostly.

@atomicthumbs Instead of 1 tiny but handy feature we've got 2 and both of them are less functional. I don't have many tabs opened at the same time, it means that I rarely use the tabs cycler, but I agree that the horizontal cycler is less helpful (tiles are not informative).
Unfortunately, I think that there are almost no chances they revert something back in near feature.
I could suggest to use a narrower version (to fit normal page preview like previously) of the Search in tabs popup for the Ctrl+Tab shortcut only, but they won't remove the horizontal cycler feature I guess.
Something like this (but without 'recently closed' maybe)

@leocg The search-in-tabs feature, horizontal cycler, and missing closed tabs menu are part of the same changes to tab management.

@atomicthumbs Maybe but people, at least on that topic, seems to be more interested in the return of recently closed tabs.

What's that?
On html5test.com Opera has only 471 out of 555 points. Vivaldi has 525. I remember once we have been better.

@ralf-brinkmann True., looks like degradation.
Even Opera 58 has 504.

Opera 69 has 528
