• Scroll bar issue with inactive border for cursor persists.

• Borders and padding waste space while giving users zero value.

• Purple highlight color is unpleasant. Chrome, Firefox, and Edge use gray/blue.

• Bookmarks bar: Excessive spacing between favicon and text in folders.

Looks like load of favicons and Sync login is… less slow.

Duplicate tab marker is fixed.

101.0.4843.33 on Win10. Light theme.

@vegelund: • Purple highlight color is unpleasant. Chrome, Firefox, and Edge use gray/blue.

---- So you want to make Opera browser a copy of Chrome browser? Alright, let’s first turn a bicycle into a time machine.

• Bookmarks bar: Excessive spacing between favicon and text in folders.

---- Bookmarks panel: you’re right that the excessive distance can be reduced a bit.

To use your analogy, Chrome and Opera are more like two different bicycle models from the same brand and producer.

I would prefer a softer and less brutal marking color.

I look in the blog https://blogs.opera.com/desktop/category/stable-2/#:~:text=Stable update
for stable updates.

The announcement for this version 101-0-4843-33 was not made on that blog.

On looking further I did find a blog post marked as uncategorized.
Is this why it appears to be unannounced? Is this why it is missing from the blog?

Please change the category to make it visible in the normal blog.

Operating System: Windows 10 Home (x64) Version 22H2 (build 19045.3208)
Thx Raphael

Here is the evidence of the unannounced stable release.

@raphaelbm This area of the forum practically mirrors the posts in the blog. So if you are seeing a topic here, it's because there is a post on the blog page.

What seems to have happened, as you've already noticed, is that the post is not categorized and will not show up under the stable tag

Hi. Thanks for the swift reply. You omitted to say what action you would now take to fix the problem.

so - can this be fixed now and also for future releases?

It's great that I guessed what the problem was? UNCATEGORIZED
Can you fix it and ensure releases appear in the blog suitably tagged?
Thx Raphael

Some high CPU usage, even with this page, albeit briefly. Sometimes persisting with all tabs suspended, and all extensions disabled. Firefox causes no fan activity with Twitter (both browsers equipped with uBlock Origin and Privacy badger).

Still no feedback whether the flow button worked, nothing, no animation, no color change. It's ridiculous.

Latest update is not great. Count me underwhelmed. It would be nice to have a Home button. Alt Home works, but why must developers mess with GUI that is not always an improvement?
Get a ton of back to safety pages. Not sure what setting I need to tweak to make this happen less.

It seems that chromium browser can't play videos on Telegram, as long as hardware acceleration is enablad.
You only see a blurry picture, but sound is playing when clicking the play-button.

Issue started, if I remember correctly, with chromium version 115.
Even a fresh and default installation of chrome has the problem.

@dnzrzx34 You can try adjusting the Angle flag for your GPU. Or, you can just disable hardware-accelerated video decode while still keeping hardware acceleration on in general. You can try overriding the GPU block list.
