@himmelsheriff ...I cant speak on the AI as I won't use either of them...Opera is more complicated to setup an account that Edge, Edge does have Speed Dial with an extension...yes it's a small extra step, but the extension is far superior to Opera's native Speed Dial allowing for multiple custom SD layouts that can be switched back and forth (for example I have a Work and Personal Speed Dials) with a simple button click (a drop down list from the SD home page...the SD was a feature that kept me on Opera One despite my distaste for it, but once I found the extension I was gone from Opera...the look of Edge (and used to be Opera as well) is more professional and clean...One looks more like it belongs on some custom built kids themed PC with all the goofy colours and rounded shapes...and since it's such a drastic change from the version prior, it's just plain irritating to use as everything that you got used to over many versions has to be figured out all over again...nah this is a big miss for me...they could have least put in a 'Classi Mode' button that let you have the features...but keep the look/layout of what you're used to.

Yes, really? I've made a totally different experience. Unless you already have an existing account, there's a lot to do with Microsoft. And you don't log into a account for only synchronizing but for their whole stuff. I absolutely avoid Microsoft if only possible, even prefering Google by a wide margin. Especially as it's one of the most anti-competitive companies in tech.
But if you don't like Opera's speed dial and prefer the Edge one with extension why bother with Opera anyway? Why not just use Edge instead of registering for Opera (which you find so difficult) only to tell people that you think Edge is superior? I don't geht that really.

@canadagoose4everreturns ...lol, I'll give you a nod for that opening line...and an up vote as well as you sound like one of the sane Leaf fans
...I will note one thing with Edge that was keeping me from it was the lack of a Speed Dial, but after a quick search in the 'Extensions' I found one that was even better than the native feature in Opera. I use my laptop at home as well as work, and the SD extension allows for (with a quick selection from a drop down menu on the SD home page) to select from different SD's. So I have a Work Speed Dial, and a personal Speed Dial...so I just imported the bookmarks from a personal PC and one from my work laptop and now I have a quick to one of each. This is nice so you done have one huge SD listing like I used to have in Opera. There may have been a way to do this in Opera, but if so, it wasn't this slick. I don't recall the extension, but it had threw purple/blueish lines as an icon I believe. -

@himmelsheriff I'm just trying to understand why the rounded borders which consume display's space are cool?
You might notice that monitors/TV manufacturers try making display's bezels as thin and as less noticeable as possible.
When you watch some science fiction movies or play games, you'll see displays without bezels at all. I thought we're moving in this direction.
But instead I'm offered additional borders which make the UI look heavier (my opinion).
As already was mentioned, I'd understand the new UI's idea if the modules would float above the background like on their promotional video. https://forums.opera.com/post/314292Edit;
Maybe the designer is fan of aircraft porthole windows

Now here is a suggestion I can get solidly behind. Why not provide an easy way to either opt out or revert to the former UI? This would have kept everyone happy. BTW: there was a time I was also a Habsfan but that was back in the days of Yvon Cournoyer, Guy Lapointe, Serge Savard, Pete Mahovlich and of course Guy Lafleur. I miss that team and the matches with my Leafs. Since moving south of the border, I haven't kept up much. Take care.

I'm watching the new Operas on a secondary computer, hoping it gets reverted to the decent old interface, and forcing version 99 to stay on my main computer.
I don't want rounded corners on everything like a Mac, I use a real computer, not a kid's toy. My monitor is LCD, it has square corners. Rounded corners make me think I'm on an 80s CRT TV.
I don't want to have to hover over a tab and then find where the hidden X is.
Is there a way to turn off the new interface changes so I can enjoy any bug fixes etc I'm missing out on?

There's no point in these grumbles. Grumble anywhere and your post gets put in here by a moderator without your permission, and they don't even tell you they've done it. It's the cupboard at the end of the hall nobody looks in. The designers have already made their silly design, they won't back down, they worked hard on messing it up. Until one gets fired, Opera is going to be rubbish. Time to leave.

It's blue. Nobody would call that purple, even my photo editor.

@hucker color picker suggested me #5021ff.
After searching for color name I also was suggested a close tone #5218FA which called 'han purple' and refers to Han Dynasty of China.
https://www.color-name.com/han-purple.color
If Opera also has some relations with China, maybe the've used the similar color, who knows...*If I insert #5021ff and search for name on the site above, it also offers 'han purple' name. Also 'chinese purple'.

Interesting, that page shows blue for the description, yet the vase is really purple.
Go into a photo editor and into the colour selector. Set it to 255 Blue 0 Red 0 Green. Now slide up the Red. I would say purple once it's past about halfway.

@vegelund I propose RGB 0 0 255 is blue. 255 0 0 is red. 255 0 255 is purple. 128 0 255 is halfway between purple and blue, so blueish purple.
The colour in question is 80 33 255. The 33s can account for just making it lighter, more white. So it's really a brighter version of 47 0 255, which is a third of the way from blue to blueish purple. So not even blueish blueish purple (if that sounds odd, consider north northwest).
This is now off topic for the off topic thread, so an admin will shift these posts to colour interpretations.

I propose Purple Heart.
Actually, that website says 5021FF is Purplish blue. So blue but slightly off. Not purple.

I saw 5021FF written up there, I just checked, my photo editor agrees, the Opera colour is exactly that one:

My address bar highlight looks different. But could be my eyes are tired or the Iris color management plays a trick.
Either way, I dislike this color for the purpose used.

Printscreen, place into photo editor, it'll tell you the exact RGB value.
Not sure what you mean by "Iris color management" - have you told your graphics card to change the colour tones to your personal preference? Not sure if a screengrab would take it before or after that adjustment.
Does Opera actually not let you change the colour? They do know what the word "preferences" means?
