      Opera://flags -> #opera-one-introduction -> Disabled

      I have just applied this. Hope it works.

      I recommend everyone send feedback to Opera to add a standard option to disable the splash screen.

        I agree, but do they listen to us? I don't think so. For instance, look how thick is tabs+address bar area, and they received a lot of complains about that, did they do something? No.
        Its first time when Opera has a untidy look and feel than Edge, and no one cares ...

          Guess what? Disabling #opera-one-introduction at opera://flags/ did not get rid of the annoying time-wasting splash screen that now appears at the start of each new version.

            @chawke As expected since it has nothing to do with the splash screen that shows up when there is an update.

              @leocg Thanks for clarifying. So does anyone know how to get rid of the update splash screen specifically?

                @chawke Unfortunately, this does not work. Still plays the splash screen with sound after update of the browser.

                        The update is not too frequent and not that loud so I usually don't mind it but this morning I had Eric Andre screaming "Opera GXXXXX" at the top of his lungs at an earsplitting volume after the update noise and it was seriously jarring. Flashbanging me with sounds like that with no volume controls and no way to turn them off is a good way to get me to ditch this browser and never look back.

                        Can we get controls to turn off or adjust the volume of the browser update noise when you first launch GX after an update?

                        And before anyone comments "change the volume in the volume mixer" the volume is already carefully tuned to play with every other media website I visit to balance for the varying volumes the media plays at.

                            With the most recent update, everytime I open opera gx there's a slashing animation and then Eric Andre starts screaming in my ear for no reason is there any way to disable this because I couldn't find it anywhere as an option and it's very triggering

                              @flaviu2 Opera is purposely forcing the splash screen on every start right now to show the Eric Andre splash screen.

                                      Guys! I have found Opera GX's splash up screen annoying, but I never turned it off because I wan't too bothered by it. But today, I open it up and suddenly, The splash up screen starts as normal, before showing two crosses going through the logo, and then a video of a red-suited man pops out, Yelling: Oppperraaa GXXXXXXX. I've tried everything to try and remove this splash up screen now. Its Not going away! I can't find the files, I turned off the splash screen option in settings and I turned off the feature from opera://flags. I don't know what to do. Make this crazy dude go away pls. 94b4161e-51f1-4e92-8417-de44844ec806-image.png 57f41e41-ed04-494e-830a-b0600b5bbfb5-image.png

                                        Having someone scream the name of the browser I use every time I open it has to be a joke right? At least let me turn it off.

                                          So i just got jumpscared by an opera GX starting screen.

                                          I was opening it with my younger sibling to watch youtube as normal but then the splash screen showed the Opera GX logo with dead eyes and a mouth, then there was a man with a bleeding nose.

                                          Does anyone know about it, cause my sibling is scared.
