      @leocg: As @pavelopdev said, Opera's development seems to be very slow lately. In addition, Opera appears to be becoming a conservative browser; he hasn't innovated that much.

        @kened I attached joke as usual, but the issue is more serious.

        From https://jobs.opera.com/

        Vacancies abroad concern business and managerial positions mainly, but for Poland offices Opera awaits highly skilled programmers. Not ordinary skilled people.

        The jobs have tough conditions, explicitly laid out by Madam Fiammetta Ruiz, and that's also alarming - they border or crosses... contemporary slavery.

        I have sound expression that Opera moved human resources to Defy, business and crypt wallet and crypt domain areas lately. We can write this or that, but there's no one to work on them. GX and Money are the Kings in Opera now. :(

          @leocg Why I had to write that:

          (I cannot upload new d/loaded images or screenshots, not for the first time today!)

          You have removed images from official forum pages, but I cannot upload them as well.

          What happened?

                @kened Opera has been developed in different places since its early versions. A while ago they seem to have decided to concentrate the development teams in specific locations.

                  @kened Development seems to be on a normal pace for me.

                  Regarding innovations, maybe there isn't much to innovate nowadays, specially when you done it for about two decades and now see other browsers implementing things that Opera had years ago as something new and innovative.

                  Also, I believe that they don't want to repeat the same mistakes of the past and put a lot "innovative" features that will only cost them without bringing any useful benefit.

                            Oh, dear...
                            Whose benefit you mean - theirs (Opera stock holders), or ours (Desktop users)?

                            I will prove my words in a while.

                              @leocg Decidedly. I receive non stop warnings/notes "I am not connected to forums, please wait" or about something "the server is not working properly" when I try to upload a file. Sending you screenshots is pointless, how?! ;-)

                                  I agree with this.

                                      @pavelopdev Ideally, both but as was talking about Opera (or you can replace by any browser, software, product, etc)

                                        @pavelopdev Just happened here. In fact it happens eventually.

                                          @leocg My official answer.

                                          Me and @kened have exchanged few remarks lately. I may sum them up in the following list of basic and utmost necessary functions for works, not pleasure.

                                          • Workspaces (multi, 24)
                                          • Video (multi PiP)
                                          • Sidebar (messengers, Custom sites panel (more than 5!))
                                          • Snapshots (working perfectly)
                                          • Easy files

                                          I have been writing to Requests forum many times. Alas, they are still valid.

                                          What I need in Opera?

                                          • Synchronized Opera window sliders (both horiz and vert slides with switch) to have ability to view two websites/page/texts/pictures simultaneously.
                                          • Quick view of my directories with images in two modes - lists and thumbnails.
                                          • More entries in "Custom site panels"
                                          • Two independent Sidebars - for left and/or right placing

                                          It may look sometimes that I am unjust and unfair to Opera developers (workers) in what I wrote recently, but let me tell you this

                                          l know, that people from Opera offices have far much broader view on "Opera world" than me and that they keep wide opened eyes into every direction of matters, just contrary to my narrowed vested interest in "My Opera Desktop for Linux".

                                          Anyway there are still few things I'd like Opera have updated.
                                          (this list is presented here anew)

                                          Why you need to synchronize two windows and how?
                                          Workspaces - synchronize windows' slides
                                          Workspaces - desynchronize show/hide options
                                          Workspaces - desynchronize icons

                                          Up the ante of Opera effectiveness
                                          Open thumbnails too in directory with images
                                          Opera does not play playlists (*.pls)

                                          Those old requests can improve Opera effectiveness and push it a little closer to what one of Opera users expressed - to Opera Commander (I was not alone coining that name).

                                          I beg your pardon my uncorrected English in my old posts, but I hope you will understand well my expectations.

                                          BTW. Wouldn't you like to have thumbnails viewer (thumbnail list) apart from text lists, would you?

                                          From old post:
                                          Thumbnails list
