@deathcat: We're still on Chromium version 128 because we're planning to jump straight to 130. This means the intake process is taking a bit longer than usual.

@korol78 Other VPNs may use a different protocol and a different mechanism of operation. Therefore, some VPNs work in your country, some are blocked and this is not Opera's fault.
If this problem was on Opera's side, then VPN would not work for everyone.

@kmielczarczyk: Competitors already have 131 finals, you even have a developer channel, the chrome version has not been updated for a month. You've been playing around with all sorts of decorative garbage, so that development at the level of a group of enthusiasts has begun to lag behind, and not a serious player in the browser market.

Well, the developers can’t try and make the VPN work in Kazakhstan, add settings for using a different protocol or a different mechanism of operation, I don’t know, come up with something?!

@korol78 If access to VPN and/or Opera servers is being blocked by the government, Opera will not and can't do anything about it.

Hi Opera team - Really looking for some performance improvements for users like me that have hundreds of tabs, and multiple workspaces. When I launch opera now, I have to wait around 5 minutes (and I have an i9 w/64GB ram, nice PC) for the UI to become responsive. This didn't used to have such a difficult time with large numbers of tabs, but recent 10-20 versions of Opera have been very slow for this. Perhaps you can keep inactive tabs "asleep" (not render their content) when they are not in-focus?

Opened my browser to the update message showing the new themes feature (currently using Opera One(version: 114.0.5282.185)) and realised it's messing up various images/colors across websites that clearly shouldn't be affected

Like the dark theme in google slides (which stops being dark)

Or some images with white/black values (Baba is you shouldn't look like that)

Should be this instead

I've tried messing with some of Opera's settings that handle auto dark mode on websites but even after disabling them and resetting the browser some pages are still stuck like that.

I closed a session of 30 tabs to install this update banking on the fact that they'd restore when I relaunched. They did not, despite my settings being cinfigured for them to do so. When I click the X at the top right, it still warns me that I'm closing thirty tabs, but I can't see any of them no matter what I try.

Of course this happens the one time I actually needed the tabs to restore. Super frustrating.

As much as it saddens me, I am getting to the point where I am considering switching my default browser from Opera to something else. I have been using Opera as my default browser since the first build came out in the 90's, so this isn't an easy decision, but I am finding more and more sites that won't recognize Opera, or say that I need to use an up-to-date browser.

I bank with PNC, and for years have been able to do so with Opera but ,in the past few months, have been unable to do so. Speaking with PNC has been no help as they don't list Opera as a supported browser. Now, in the past few weeks I am having trouble with Charles Schwab, Wells Fargo, and xfinity.

It just seems to be getting worse and worse, and I have tried everything I can think of to resolve the problem without success - I am quite knowledgeable when it comes to computers. I just want to have one browser that works for everything I do - switching browser for financial sites is not an acceptable option to me. It would seem that this would be a fairly easy fix for Opera to do with user-agent strings or something, as most UA extensions are out of date.

I'd be more than happy to try other fixes or have Opera fix this, as I have been loyal to Opera from the first release until now.
