better off with Vivaldi then?
Currently the UI of Opera (I mean pre-One version) looks better and more clear to me.
Vivaldi has a lot of settings to customize the UI. But even after spending some time to make it similar to Opera, Vivaldi still looks a bit outdated to me. Also, Vivaldi misses features that I actively use daily. Those are search popup, click on tab to scroll to top of the page, sometimes video pop-out). Mentioned features are very old, but still very actual for me.
Almost all the recent features I keep off.
Can't comment how buggy the Vivaldi is because I didn't use it for a long period.*But in future when sites will start to display incorrectly in pre-One version and the One version still will be in a bad state, of course, something will have to be chosen. Vivaldi is the only who has (currently) the normal built-in speed dial start page so maybe it'll be a good choice.

@karen-arzumanyan Small update. This is being analyzed and worked on. Turns out the bug is caused by this change in Chromium. Opera will have to adjust things because of it. No guarantee on when, but at least it's being looked at.

@xb70 On macOS, I think there's an issue with cookies not being migrated properly. On Windows, things seems to be good so far. Of course, no guarantees.

@healingcross Opera Just tries to follow Chromium development pace, and since they seem to be little bit behind, they may need to speed things up

@leocg I think, that may be a problem for every browser maker that relies on Chromium and isn't Google. AFAIK even Microsoft is still one step behind. Especially when they modify the UI like Opera and Vivaldi do.

@healingcross Yes, Opera has always been a few builds behind but usually on the same version. However, now it seems to be a couple of versions behind.

@burnout426 So the issue is related to this one https://forums.opera.com/post/330740?
Because no cursor for Ctrl+F depends on scale factor in Windows.

That mentions other input fields besides the ctrl + f one, so not sure if it's related to that case, but might be.
Because no cursor for Ctrl+F depends on scale factor in Windows.
Details here https://forums.opera.com/post/327812Yes, it's noted in the bug that the cursor issue is at 100% scaling and that at 120% it's fine, but input field borders are cut off.

I installed 104.0.4944.33 on one of two Windows 10/64 machines, and it worked, albeit, with a hiccup. At first it seemed to have bombed out--with a loss of personalization, but upon closure and reopening, it was okay. I downloaded and installed manually, rather than using the auto-updated instance--which was showing, the little dot on the O, and a notice of an impending update, upon closure and reopening, if that even would have worked--usually on my machines updating from Update & Recovery doesn't work.
I do have a question about auto updates or updating using Update & Recovery in settings: In doing the manual version, one has to click past first the download permission, allowing or not, cookies, then after the download upon installation, there is another place to disallowed cookies with an additional four check boxes to uncheck. What happens with all that if one uses the auto-update loaded instance? I do not believe that one is prompted for any of that. Does the process simply (1) allow all cookies by default, or (2) does it know one's previous choices, and assume those, or (3) does it by default disallow cookies (the way that it should be, but is not now)? -

@leocg Is that a reply to my question? Or a previous post in the thread? If it is to my question, I was not intending to ask about cookie treatment except to find out, if auto install takes place of if the installation is Update & Recovery in settings, what happens to all those cookie setting which one must click through, five of them, in doing a manual install? There seemed to be three possibilities: Does the process simply (1) allow all cookies by default, or (2) does it know one's previous choices, and assume those, or (3) does it by default disallow cookies (the way that it should be, but is not now)?

@xb70 If you're talking about the consent settings in the installer, they are also available in Opera at the URL
opera://settings/privacy/consentFlowafter you install Opera. An auto update should keep whatever settings you have there. -

@burnout426 Yes, that is part of the answer which I was seeking, pertaining to if or where the four things which one must tick off, that is uncheck, when installing a manually downloaded update. Thank you, Burnout426. But what about the cookie setting which one much get past when downloading the update? Can one check if that is in effect too? One must either accept (the apparent default) or not cookies (click it off, if desired), to download. There is opera://settings/cookies but I do not see anything in that which seems to correspond to one's acceptance of them or rejection as accepted in order to download.

Hello, my opera is lagging a bit when i even just scroll GX control. It didnt lag before and i even left more space for ram and cpu.
Is it just me getting this problem or something is up ?
, that doesn’t sound good for user security.
