The future of browsing: Opera One, the first AI-powered browser is ready for download

@bladeii Thank you for your words. The turn to Brave came a bit like a surprise after using Opera for 12 years. Someone may like or dislike the new design or the the new features, but all reasoning against Opera had nothing to do with Opera One, but have been valid for quite a long time. That's for me the major inconsistency actually.

@himmelsheriff: For us, Opera One is "the straw that broke the camel's back." Again, we all have choices. We choose Brave at this time. Cheers

BladeII last edited by@generosus Of course I don't think you work for anyone, but your argument sounds like one. If brave suits you - great. I also use this browser sometimes, but I don't think that writing on their forums and channels how bad they are is a proper way to communicate that. As for the new Opera browser, I think it was released in a stable version too early. There are a couple of bugs to fix.
I think it's worth keeping rational perception. A Chinese on the board or even as a shareholder does not make a Norwegian or American company immediately Chinese. The same way Microsoft and Google could be seen as "Indian" since their indian CEOs took over. But it ain't.
You are succumbing to the paranoia fueled by the right wing media. FOX News lost a recently a lawsuit against a company called Dominion. The TV station claimed it had ties to "Chinese Communists."
Opera, having its headquarters in Norway and offices, among others in Poland (key countries on NATO's eastern flank) is certainly under surveillance by the US and other services. If data leaks or data transfer to China took place - such information along with evidence would certainly have been published, for example in the form of some journalistic investigation.
We are dealing here with a rumor that is popular in the current geopolitical situation. -

I don't like the new design at all. No, I hate it!! As a graphic designer I am unable to work with this mess of bubbles and rounded corners! I downgraded back to version 99.X after 10 Minutes and will use another minimalistic browser in future. I'm still shocked and there's only one question: why, why, why...!?

I think the designer is a big fan of Star Trek…

Had to get back to the good old 99. The new one's really half-backed. Lost all my 1000+ tabs (yes, I know) the next morning after I upgraded to One. Guess what - wasn't happy about that. The same thing happened today - ain't going to One until you get it fixed, folks.

Please do tell us, what are you using those tabs for?
I'm genuinely curious.

does anyone know how to save all the tabs of the various "browsing contexts" to avoid losing them when opera restarts or crashes? I don't want to lose all the tab splitting I've done...

I use opera since as long as I remember, and this is easily the worst version. Buggy and crashes everyday, bad design, unnecessary changes (chatGPT clone? srsly?) and much more nonsense. I'll downgrade to 99.x for now and try it again in a while, if it's still bad I will leave Opera for good. I never thought such a day would come!

@vegelund I guess this has to do with my procrastination, i.e. leaving tabs open to get back to them later (although it often doesn't happen :)). But that's not the point. It could've been 20 tabs, they'd still be gone after this upgrade.

@pkt01 Sure and 1000+ tabs...
You open that many tabs in one browser, for what?

@alexswak I can‘t agree from my side. There are no real bugs with my version. ChatGPT has been added some months before, the new version has kind of its own, called Aria. But both, ChatGPT pure and Aria are not enabled by default. You don‘t have to use either. It‘s totally up to you.
I‘ve had Vivaldi as my main browser for quite a long time, and their updates caused issues anytime.
I agree on the UI issue. That‘s a case of its own. But let me guess: We all will be used to it by the end of the year. And issues will be adressed by developers hopefully. -

@vegelund why do you keep asking that? Just moments ago Opera crashed when I tried moving a tab to an island, and I only had about 20-25 open tabs. All gone again. Maybe better fix the underlying problem instead?

Because I am curious about what user scenario does 1000 tabs.

Hi @Lenmaer,
We're with ya! We brought up your concern a while ago. It appears Opera One does not meet WCAG (Accessibility) standards.
Opera Developers (and Leadership) have been silent about it.
Cheers

@pkt01 In this case, wouldn't you be better off with Vivaldi which claims expertise in tab handling even with that number of tabs?
