Seemingly opposed to most of the posts on the new design, I must say that I really like the design; it matches Windows 11 design philosophy and is better integrated visually than even edge.
It seems the interface is very efficient, as it runs much faster than any other browser on my system, even with my basic set of plugins installed and running.
The design also reminds me of the obsidian.md interface, which I like a lot.
What I find to be true, is that customizability for now is mostly nonexistent. I expect, though, that it will be (re)added in the future.
The tab islands are great; it would be nice to be able to close a complete island with one click.

In addition to the previous post, ad customizing - I would like to be able to move the sidebar to the right.

Really ? And why if you accidentally put the mouse maxim right (or left) and scroll, nothing happen ? Why ? Because the view is not stretched on whole view, because of actual "beautiful" design.
And why I don't match always the current tab with the associated address bar, and that's also because of this "beautiful" design ...
Honestly, this design its a crap.

@flaviu2 It surely is a matter of taste, not "objectifiable"... I have no issues with scrolling, but the browser is on the center screen anyway, so I can't "press the mousepointer to the edge of the screen" anyway. I move it to a sidescreen to test, what you are referring to, but can't really say I find that an issue there as well. I scroll with the wheel of the trackball, I use the keyboard for jumping to top and bottom and grab the scrollbar for faster movements on the screen, though page up and page down are also an option for that. I guess it is all a matter of habits. It can be hard to change those, but often it is worth the effort.
That said, I suppose stuff like this can be solved in the code without dismantling the overall design concept.

Also, what is the issue with that anyway? The active tab is highlighted nicely, why would it need to be "attached" to the address bar? This "pill" design for tabs can be found in many apps now, and is part of the design changes MS introduced with Windows 11. In apps like "Groupy" or obsidian.md I can choose to have the pills, or the attached tabs. Maybe the themes for Opera One could be more flexible in that matter in the future. Or use Vivaldi, which is insanely customizable - but also buggy in comparison, probably that is a prize to pay for that level of customizability. I am switching from Vivaldi to Opera One now, because I really like the new concept and while I appreciate more customizability in the future, I am quite content with what it has already.

That is what you can’t do by moving the cursor to the right edge of a maximized window. As opposed to all other main browsers.

@vegelund Hmm, you mean grabbing the scrollbar is not possible at all, or only if the cursor is "touching" the edge of the screen all the way? I probably have never scrolled that way, touching the edge, because I always had several screens and would jump to the next screen if I tried that anyways.

Hesminewho last edited byi would advise to rethink the whole design. most of it has already been said. annoying sidebar and the edge gap of the screen are the worst. at this point i recommend to go back to an older version of opera.
funfact: in germany we would call this "verschlimmbessern" (improve for the worse)

The latter. Very relevant for people who use laptops and one screen.

on my pc i did clean install... it was awful, default fonts worked incorrect, making all text be it in ui or webpages unbearable to look, so i switched back to edge

I just created that account just because the new design is so terrible. Seriously, if you want me to change to another browser, just tell me instead of hitting me in the face with this abomination. I can only repeat what has been said by others.
Speed dial is way too small now. Too much space between address bar and view, and between tabs and address, and so on. Even maximized the browser acts like a smaller window, making it impossible to scroll if you move the mouse to the edge on the left or right side. The rounded view makes no sense, is just ugly and creates too much empty unused space on a monitor. That eye raping purple color for highlighting. Moving the icons on the side bar to the bottom is stupid, my mouse movements are usually in the upper half of the monitor.

Could you please make it possible to change the highlight color? I can't stand purple, it hurts my eyes!

There's far too much wrong with Opera One compared to previous versions for me to list them all. The main ones that are forcing me to stop using Opera are the ugly-as-sin white border, the scroll limitations, and the speed dial icons.
If I was on the team developing Opera versions I'd make it more customizable. It may take up more space on the drive but oh well. From games to business programs, people accept a little extra program size if it means the experience is more enjoyable. Just look at games like Diablo, World of Warcraft, CoD, etc.
I will keep Opera on my PC for a couple months to see if things get fixed. But for now I'm going to have to use MS Edge or Firefox. MS Edge is total garbage but it is better than this new Opera One.

All the rounded corners are disgusting. Speed dial tiles are almost circles but not quite, horrible. Colors are weird. I don't understand what this bright dot on tab bar is supposed to be, it's annoying. And so on...
All this plus not blocking youtube ads any more is just not acceptable. Went back to version 95 and disabled the updates. This took 2 tries as Opera really wants to update itself.

This was one of the best browsers. But since months it get even more worse. Down the hill!
Who has had this Design idea? This person should be fired.Why is all so blue-ish/purple?
Why has every field rounded corners?
Why are everywhere such spaces between the fields?
Why are the speed-dial boxes so small?
Why its called Opera One?Why you cant let the browser as it was? Why you change every month the whole look of this browser? Why why why???
There are so many thing under the hood you can change and polish/make it better instead of this you change again the whole design...
Now its time to get to another browser. Opera was my favorite but now its time for the trash with him.

I have been an Opera user since it was shareware, with ads, I have been through all versions and it has always been my main browser. I can understand a facelift, a redesign to make it "modern," showing modularity but where's the customization, making the browser for each user if I can't change a single highlight color?

Why is there a gap on the right at the tab bar? The speed dial is broken now, no images. If you don't give me the option to get the old appearence i'm uninstalling this awful looking browser.

This is a complete fiasco.
Firstly, after the update, I saw a welcome window with music, I was freaking out of surprise, why the hell is the browser yelling with a welcome sound?
Secondly, the appearance is disgusting. Starting with rounded corners in the interface of the browser itself, ending with rounded corners on site pages. Why else is this?
While other programs and browsers strive for minimalism, customizability and a simpler interface - Opera introduces Opera One with tab animations, an inappropriate purple color accent, a broken Speed Dial (no pictures), a grouping of tabs that I did not ask for and which is not can not be turned off and just terrible appearance. Shadows under the tabs, seriously? Are we in 2010? I loved Opera and have been using it since 2007, survived its transition to Chromium, but what is happening with it now is very disappointing.
