      How do I stop the Opera pop up, with the music, colored O and black background every time I open Opera.

        How to disable this 10-second splash screen? Any steps to follow that will work other than switching to Firefox?

          ShoDaN-ShoDaN, thank you! Unbelievable! I deleted the file: opera_gx_splash - and the problem, that tortured me yesterday, disappeared in part! But it seems, Opera still loads slower. Dear developers, correct this bug finally!

            @bantubob thank you so much for this, it was so irritating to wait 5 seconds and hear a splash sound everytime i opened the browser, seriously what were they thinking.

              Every time I close opera and want click on it to re-open, it apparently has shut off completely and relaunches the whole program everytime. So everytime I click on the opera logo to reopen it gives me that short intro with the sound. This happens on my laptop only, never on my pc. Could it be a powersaving method of my laptop or is there setting inside opera I need to change.

                Actually I just updated Opera and now the splash screen is gone. So if you experience the same issue, I would recommend you do a manual update and open Opera two times (the splash screen always comes up one time after an update).

                  Renamed the gx file, splash gone. Now with every update I will need to do it again? This is just idiotic to push this. If it annoys me too much I will retreat to Fox.
                  Over and out.

                    Find this executable file and rename its extension.

                      @damacan It's becoming a nuisance. How does one disable the splash screen?

                          • Open the Opera installation folder (C:\Users\YourUser\AppData\Local\Programs\Opera\102.0.4880.16)
                          • Delete the following file "opera_gx_splash"

                          Problem solved 🙂

                              Many thanks from the prompt answer.
                              How can Opera doesn't notice this nuisance for working people and others ?
                              Your navigator is a great tool but please don't fall in Microsoft and Google defaults ! Stay humble ... And discrete

                                @livorno rename the file:
                                opera_gx_splash.exe
                                It is located where you installed Opera[version number]
                                I renamed it to opera_gx_splash.exe.foobar
                                Then the splash will stop.
                                You can also delete the file.
                                After the program gets updated - splash might come back and you need to rename/delete it again.
                                I have a strong opinion about this policy to force everyone to see/hear it. As you might imagine it is not an enthusiastic opinion.

                                      @lyviq I've seen that somewhere. Use the answers above to get rid of it.

                                          @perroflauta That only solves the problem until the next update. And Opera gets very frequent updates. Might have to set up a cron job to delete the file every hour or so.

                                            @cardiobike13 It's intentional. It's part for merging the standard Browser, the crypto browser and the gaming browser into Opera One — one browser to rule them all.

                                            Which might have been a mistake as office user and gaming user have different needs.
