@vegelund @andrew84 I get your point. It's easy to see why the dark theme is less horrid in your eyes. I just switched to light mode in order to see the difference. And it's there clearly.
It really looks a bit like an Incredimail comeback in 2023 although more decent.
I suppose they did it, because they had to stand out among the competition with a new and "fresh" design. Features alone wouldn't do it. To me it's an okayish change. I liked the clean design before but I understand they wanted to change it making it more attractive for younger people to come. And they also introduced new AI features, but that's what they had promised for quite a long time, even before ChatGPT AFAIK.
Just as I mentioned you'll see in the newly released Arc browser even more color and candy. And if you go through the community designs in Vivaldi, that I had used before, you'll see there's also much that resembles a more colorful experience.
I don't see any other browser that really appeals to me designwise. And brings so many handy features with it.I've also read many complaints about bugs. But in my experience there's nothing unusual which couldn't have happened in former updates.

This feature should be inbuilt in opera since 1999 but it seems this are busy in redesigning to a point that is becoming useless and invisible,
That's fine if you want to leave your browser open or at least running in the background. No Thanks. Better to backup the tabs when you go to close the browser.

Personally, I won't switch to Opera One at least until they'll remove the web page content's border.
Taking into account, that Edge Canary also does have the same round corner border, it means that the refreshed design is not fully their (opera team) change, but Chromium's one. At the same time, Chrome Canary doesn't have the border, so it's fully possible to remove the border.
And it seems that the 'island' tabs are also just part of Chromium's 2023 UI refresh.*In terms of visual UI, the Edge looks perfect to me if remove the content border. Its light/dark theme looks also perfect to me and pleasant to eyes (not the purple abnormal items). Tabs are clear and quite big also. I'd like to see the same clear UI in Opera One. And I'm pretty sure it's absolutely possible to keep the hyped 'tab island' if implement the similar to Edge UI instead of the 'bubbles'.
I would understand it if the 'modules' were in the form of 'floating' elements above background in Opera, but the simple rounded borders? No, no and no.

That startup sound is the most annoying thing ever! Please, Opera, get rid of this!

Speaking for myself, I have to admit, that even after reading about reasons not to do so, and reflecting my own experience with it, I still like the new design. The dark theme better than the light one. But all in all I think, it's an improvement.
Many might not agree here, but the more I use it, I'm pleased by the looks. And I don't have any gripes about it. -

Hello!
I am using Opera almost 20 years. I liked better the old Opera before the Chromium base, but still I using Opera. But this Opera One is awful, really unstable and functions does not work at all.The adblocker does not work at all! It is very irritating and time wasting the ads in Youtube. Many times I do not watch the videos because I do not want to wait to finish the ads to make me brain dead.
I use many browser tabs above. Many times when I drag&drop a tab to make a seprate new window to my other screen (I have 2 screens) I got crash, and Opera is closing, I loss every process.
I am thinking to change browser, if things will not change.

So my Opera updated to Opera One which I wasn't expecting. First thing , I used to be able to have an icon for my speed dial but it's not missing,
Also, for some reason, the sidebar has loads of space, a couple of icons halfway then another big gap before the remainder. Looks really weird.
I have to say ( and I have been using Opera for years) the help is anything but helpful. There is no option to sort e.g. newest post first etc.
When logging on I am asked to check some boxes allowing my data to be used. As I don't want this I click submit but then it tells me that I MUST tick the boxes to proceed.
Why suggest the choice if there isn't one?
My flow never works properly.
All these things, I may find something else.
Opera has been around long enough that it should have ironed out all these things.
Finally, I didn't get a dialog asking me to update to One. -

The splash screen sound is too loud, intrusive, annoying and just so unnecessary

You can choose what opens on browser load.

@jimfrank just experienced it for the first time.
i immediately said "never do that again." but of course
there arent any settings for this splash screen so we have no
choice other than complaining about it on the forumsa splash screen does nothing but stall for time and i would rather not have any audio because no one does that steam, epic, origins, discord all of these have splash screen that have the purpose of loading the app itself and cause no audio

Hmmmm. I have Opera One version: 101.0.4843.33, running on openSuse Tumbleweed ... and MicroOS Kalpa.
I've never seen any splash-screen or any audio. I wonder if this is specific to a certain operating system (?)

I don't know about anyone else using Opera but time is something we cannot get back. Over the last year I have seen the browser getting slower and slower and I have seen more and more ad related options I keep having to turn off. The latest being a media "O" flash when I start up the program. If I was three sheets to the wind maybe I might need a song with a flashy "O" logo on it. Then we have a re-write of the tool bar code to add things I never asked for or turned on in the first place.

I have seen 3 updates in the past 2 days. Perhaps some better QA or beta users before sending this out??

It's all part of The Enshittification. At least with Adobe's form of it, I was able to roll back to PS CS6 and stick with that (as I don't need their asinine and over-rated 'AI' filters).
