Opera One's UI is too large

@weilan Totally agree.
Regarding the purple accents, I'd say that the old blue one looks a way better. The purple menu's and dropdown's selected items both in light and dark theme looks just ugly.

Btw, there are separate topics already almost for each described issues.

Totally Agree!!!
Please make Opera like Windows 7 style not Windows 10/11
Everything Unreasonable Big Big Big!!!
We are mostly using PC not tablet!!!

I agree 100% with everything you wrote above.
Opera has fallen into some kind of 'gigantomania' and, for no apparent reason, magnifies everything.
Tabbed bar large/tall, tabs too big, and the entire address and tool bar tall. And to make matters worse, the macabre background around the frames that drastically make it difficult to scroll through the pages.

@frankosio gigantomania not originally raised by Opera, it's raised by FXXXING microsoft since Windows 8!!! their silly programmers/developers supposed tablet will replace PC that's why they redesigned the whole UI based on tablet usage!!! How silly they are once smart Bill Gates left the company!!!

I also agree with this Opinion! It's a terrible idea to change the Design, wich makes the usage of the browser way worse than it was before. The Opera 99 Design was perfect!
A switch in the settings to switch between the old and new design would be very nice.
If there won't be a good solution in the next months, i will probably change to an other Browser, even though Opera was my favourite browser for many many years!

That's exactly what we suggested in this post.

I'm not sure what you mean. The difference in UI-size is minimal. But compared to Brave Opera comes out with dozen features out of the box.
If you prefer Brave because of its UI eg. then go for Brave. Nobody hinders you. I myself feel that it's one of the ugliest Chromium browsers, being a Chrome copy cat with some weird crypto stuff baked in and privacy settings enabled by default. Making it look very old fashioned.
Nevertheless it's a solid choice. Comes up to the preferences you have.

The frames around a site's content is the worst sh3t you can add to a browser to spoil it. The frames are felt by me as an uncomfortable margins which reduces my viewport dimensions unnecessarely. And as it was told you can't drag the scrollbar anymore by just moving a cursor to the right-most position.

This is the reason why I'm looking to quit using the Opera browser.

I don't like this rounded and space eating UI, have an option to use the old UI.

@emanuelinsky I switched back to version 99.X and disabled the update in my firewall. The new UI is a childish-bubble-teenager-phone-style... Wtf
