      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.

          "How to disable this 10-second splash screen?"

          16e04c58-f05e-4c46-acfe-18b39062fede-image.png

          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.

                              @lyviq Yes, you are not the first. There are existing Theads. In fact the Admins moved your post to the relevant thread.

                                @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.

                                    This feature can stay if every time anyone in the world launches the browser the launch sound plays full volume on all devices in all Opera offices.

                                    What is this abomination?!! Get rid of it!

                                      @dolllllllob lack of common sense and disrespect. Might become the very reason I'll quit Opera. I am a new user since 3 days.

                                            After the update today, that annoying graphic and sound Opera does after first installing it comes up every time I start the browser, and worse, every time I click a link to open it in Opera. I tried reinstalling it, and it's still doing it. I love the Opera browser, but having it go bonkers after every few updates have become the norm.
