Opera unveils Opera One, an entirely redesigned browser

thatoneunoriginal last edited byBeen daily driving Opera One throughout the past few days and apart from some minor issues it's been pretty amazing so far. The user interface is a fresh look compared to what I'm used to. Tab islands are cool but it would be cool to give them names (I wouldn't be able to remember what content I have in a tab island by just remembering its colour alone.)

Don't mean to burst your bubble, but we'll never use Yandex. In fact, we have blocked them from accessing our assets, etc. due to their seach engine's malicious queries and data collection practices.
Cheers!

@vladbabinets When it's ready? I would guess next week if I had to choose, but this week still have two more working days.

@generosus that's one of the reasons I'm leaving it (and the reasons it does that is probably what caused the deletion of my previous message and its replies). Still, it's functionally well designed.

With tab scrolling not working I was able to get 500 tabs imported and divided between 15 workspaces by using The Marvellous Suspender extension's session export/import, which is a simple textfile that can be cut down into separate files of, say, 50 URLs each. The separate files are, one at a time, imported using The Marvellous Suspender, with the open and load option, each time saving all tabs as a speed dial folder, deleting the tabs, and repeating with the next file of URLs to import. When that was done, each speed dial folder was in turn opened and the tabs moved to their appropriate workspaces, and suspended. I also chose to unsuspend all tabs in each workspace (which provided the opportunity to use an extension to delete duplicate tabs) in turn and save the workspaces as speed dial folders.
I must say, I hope there will be an option to turn off the "slot machine" animation when changing to a different workspace. I don't often use Easy Setup so hadn't noticed the option to force a dark theme on pages. I've been using extensions or user scripts, which allow me to reduce the contrast to something more preferable to me than Opera's own (only) option.
Also affecting the current stable version, there's no paste option when right-clicking in the start page search box.

Copy and paste option in the start page search box is missing for some time now.
Maybe it was removed on purpose. They should bring it back. -

@dnzrzx34: and yet the Crl+V keyboard shortcut works -- poor quality control rather than an actual (and pointless) decision.

I've used Opera One for a couple of days now, and I mostly love it! I just have a few thoughts/feedback regarding the tab islands:
- It would be useful to be able to drag an island with the mouse, to better position it amongst other tabs.
- Not sure if this has been fixed already, but the the open/close state of an island should be remembered upon restarting Opera or when switching workspaces.
- Sending a tab island to a different workspace would be useful.
- Having the option to name an island would be useful (similar to Edge).
- Depending on the monitor, room lighting, dark-mode, etc... it's sometimes hard to see, which tabs are actually inside of an island or if an island is open/closed. In Edge, for example, it's easier to distinguish with the colored stripe at the top.
- Similarly to the previous point, it's currently really hard for me to see which tab is active (in dark-mode). And also the hover state is barely visible. I feel like the light-mode has better contrast.
Otherwise I really like the new look.

@nuiin: Not that I'm completely happy with the current Opera design, but I definitely haven't been "overwhelmed...by the messiness of so many open tabs." For me, that's only a temporary situation and otherwise a bookmark program works for better control. Someone commented here that One is for 2023. That's the justification given for every bad new design (starting with MS's ribbon). New (or change) doesn't necessarily mean better (especially given that we still live in the era of the Me Generation -- and its designers). Been using Opera since 2006, so will give the One a try at an appropriate time. I'd hate to have to switch to one of the other browsers, none of which fit my needs overall.

I made a suggestion regarding this in the Forums and a Moderator told me that this was something that was planned to be added. But yes I agree with you that would be an amazing thing to get whenever it's ready.

@thatoneunoriginal That's great! Good to know that's something they're planning to implement. Overall I'm just glad that tab grouping is back.
