Hello everyone, Today in our weekly update we’ve got something new. Check out our refreshed address bar dropdown, where you’ll find Top Sites, Recent Searches and Recently Closed categories.

DNA-97663 Address bar dropdown flickers with a previous search for a second

The panel flickers while appearing.
And the panel's top sites tiles and tile's text look too small.

And like used to happen with some other features, tiles on the blog's screenshot look differently (not so big spaces between tiles and tile's text is located on the tile itself).

*As for the calculator in the address bar, the feature is useless in my opinion.

So the Enhanced address bar was optional in Settings.
But how to disable the address bar categories dropdown (I mean in future when the flag will be removed)?
Maybe the BABE was unpopular and now you're forcing us to use the dropdown which can't be turned off?

Hello,

Workspaces names & icons are synced.
They're not in the list of things you can disable:

Bookmarks
History
Settings
Passwords
Open tabs
Pinboards
Is there any chance we have a button sometimes ?

Thanks for the feedback

@mmichel Probably they are being synced as part of Settings.

@andrew84: enhanced address bar (displaying a dropdown with suggestions on address field focus) will stay optional and a setting.

The dropdown itself won't be - no way we're going to support two dropdown implementations because you don't like the calculator

Hello, I wanted to ask, the scrollbar in Windows 11 Explorer has already changed and in Opera the old scrollbar is still the same, when the scrollbar in Opera will be changed.
And when will dark web pages be enabled for Opera? Opera GX has had this feature for quite some time.

@avl So how can I disable the dropdown now?
If the enhanced bar is disabled in Settings, the dropdown still appears when I click address field.

*Now to disable the dropdown I must disable enhanced address bar in Settings and disable the Address bar dropdown categories flag.
I can suspect that if the enhanced address bar is enabled in Settings and Address bar dropdown categories is enabled by default there are two panels appear at the same time(Dropdown categories over the BABE , that's why it looks flickering while appearing)

Sorry I can't understand - you mean you will remove possibility to kill this stupid categories dropdown, once it leaves the flags section?
I suggest to control both of those things with 'enhanced address bar' setting. I really, really do not like this kind of 'improvements'

@donq Exactly. I also do not understand.
According to the changelog the Enhanced address bar was replaced with Address bar dropdown categories.
DNA-97252 Replace BABE with address bar dropdown with top sites

But toggle in Settings relates only to the enhanced address bar and doesn't affect on dropdown categories.
I believe the enhanced address bar feature should be removed now and toggle in Setting will be renamed into 'Address bar dropdown categories' and will enable/disable address bar dropdown categories only.
Now it looks like a bug when the both dropdowns(panels) are available.

There are still a lot of complaints regarding the fast tooltip's dropdown (tabs from same domains). The feature must be optional.

@donq I understood that you will be able to choose if there will be a drop-down when you focus address bar or not but not its contents.
I guess the new one will replace the old one.

@ranger375 If I understood correctly, disabling Enhanced Address Bar in settings will turn off the drop-down.

@andrew84: You're right, it's a bug that the dropdown is not respecting the setting. It's known and the next update you'll get should have it fixed.

This is not the issue. The flickering is happening because suggestions are coming in and being added to the view while the view is already shown.
