@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.

@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

New tabs area design looks awful. Now there is a mess when many tabs are opened.
Also why there is so much empty space above tabs?

@skpy: tab scrolling has been missed out. I got the impression that 20 tabs was considered extreme...

I've just tried it out. I couldn't find how to manage and move the modules around. I'd love to have tab bar at the bottom. Also, I was excited for sidebar possibly accepting unlimited custom pages, but nope, still limited to 5 and hidden under flags...

Do we have any new feature other than UI redesign and modules?

@andrew84: Yes, this is also, I forgot to write that the strip is also obsolete, Opera developers, pay attention to this

OK, after a day of use. Tab islands. The fact that I have to hold CTRL, click on all the tabs and then right click and select "Create tab island", is terrible. Please, change that ASAP. We should drag and drop tabs like we used to when tab stacking was a thing. I hope the developers are reading this.

@firuz-u7 I don't know why they decided to separate modules too obviously.
The black rounded border around web page in dark mode looks weird to me(ugly, to be honest).
Personally, I prefer 'flat' design when visually all the UI's elements look solid. If I don't mistake, that was the main idea of Reborn 3 when sidebar, tabs strip, bookmarks bar look like a solid element.

Modular design is most probably good from technical side, but visually I still support the 'square' and flat design. I'd like to see only menu/context menu and popups with rounded corners.
Like I stated above, I was waiting more advanced visual effects. And I hoped they'll fix high contrasting black/white items highlighting in dropdowns and menus in dark mode.
