At first glance this looks awful, desktop apps are supposed to look like desktop apps. Also why are the tabs no longer tabs and are now buttons. Opera stopped being good with version 15, and yet is still the best out there, sad state of things

@ghirahim: Not sure where you are getting this but I doubt this will ever make it to the main Opera.

From https://www.opera.com/one

Opera One (currently early-access developer version) is a completely redesigned browser, planned to replace the flagship Opera Browser for Windows, macOS, and Linux later this year.

@weilan: agreed, the waste of space was the first thing I noticed, even comparing against Opera Stable/Beta

I can't check it right now because of win 8.
Does it have light mode also? Or just dark mode like on screenshots.

@ghirahim: Facepalm is definitely right. Wouldn't expect anything less from someone who doesn't know anything about Opera and a ton of concepts they have been releasing over the years on all platforms.

@arturo182 Agree. Tabs shouldn't look like buttons.

Interesting.
Usually when there were requests regarding the tabs grouping/stacking, users were answered that workspaces are for these purposes. Now tabs grouping is presented as one of the main innovations.

Since Opera One is modular, would it be possible to make the address bar, sidebar and tab bar movable? I would like to be able to move the tab bar to the left, the address bar to the bottom and the sidebar to the right.
This suggestion is very specific.

@max1c: I know all about concepts. I have been using Opera for over 20 years. But the fact is that you have problems with reading comprehension.

@max1c Opera released only one concept browser during its entire existence: Opera Neon.

@kened I guess it may happen in the future. Who knows?

@firuz-u7 But what about the items highlighting in OMenu/context menus? It's still high contrasting white in dark mode?

@andrew84 The combination of workspaces and tab islands may be what will make the difference for Opera.

There's an empty space between tabs and the upper edge of the screen that is not clickable and it's annoying.

@leocg: After all, it displays in the store that the last update was more than a year ago.

To be honest, I don't like modular design in current view.

Currently it looks too simple... Like bold rounded borders around the elements. More suitable for smart devices, which have display with rounded corners.

In my opinion, to separate the modules other methods should be used. For example, I'd prefer modules with semitransparent/blurred/frosted glass effect background on full screen wallpaper.
Smth. like this
