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

Not a FAN of the new startup with sound and Opera symbol on latest version!!!
Because older versions didn't have thatAlso, I wish Speed Dial was opened every time on startup

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.

@vegelund No this happens every time I restart, the Speed Dial isn't always opening

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).

Hmmm - strange, indeed.
Have been running Opera One for a while on my openSuse Tumbleweed systems (four different machines, plus on a MicroOS Kalpa system) and have not heard any sounds or other flash-n-glam visuals.
Maybe it's a Windows-specific thing (?)

In my view the front end has lost its graphic quality. I now have to register which of the speed dial bookmarks are those I require. While the respective logos were full size in the icons, it was instantaneous recognition. now, it's lost that. Very much a case of 'why fix it if it's not broken?'

This startup noise is such encroaching behaviour! I'm the only one in the office who uses Opera. Every time there's an Opera update, everyone looks at me like I'm a crazy person. It's completely unacceptable.
I have been using Opera for years. Probably only until the next update... -

I cannot believe I wake up and not only did opera 1 restart my PC but updated itself to the most hideous UI that has ever been forced upon me in my 32 years of using computers. You have completely wrecked the UI - all my tabs look ugly and are a complete mess. And because of this absolutely incompetent decision - made needlessly as there was never at any point and time a desire by the community for a UI redesign, the tabs convey no information at all. It is a bunch of tiny graphical icons the kind even a little kid wouldnt find appealing. I don't want you AI stuff - never did and no one else did either, but oh look you installed it anyway.
This is one of the worst UI redesigns I have ever seen in my entire life and I thought I had seen them all. Clearly your programmers and designers had nothing to justify their jobs so you allowed this to happen under the veneer of an update, but it is a giant step backwards, the kind of thing you see in a beta release of a product before anyone knows what their identity is. This is terrible and if there isnt an option to undo this I am going elsewhere and I will scream from the mountain tops for everyone else to join me too.

@separatereality I can relate so much!
I have been using Opera since version three, survived the big switch to Blink and the butchering of all useful features of old Opera without a single complain.
Even used Opera Mini with iPad, a very compromised experience.
But that sounds is making me consider switching to Firefox (Vivaldi being too ugly for my taste)

So, as I stated on my previous post, I suspected the start up noise is Win specific ... and it is! There is an .exe file on Win that runs the flash-n-glam.
Good to be on Linux
(no noises here, or flashy) -

@myswtest no worries, mate, eventually the PM will remember Opera has Linux users and you'll be graced with her favorite feature.
It obviously drives customer engagement!
