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 insteadI'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.

@deathcat It's the reason why I'm switching to a more secure browser like Vivaldi, too. They implement security fixes from Chromium almost on the next day every time.

@lemonjuice17: Thanks for your feedback! Could you please check if the 'Force dark theme' option is enabled in your settings? It can sometimes affect how images and colors appear on websites. Let us know if this resolves the issue!

@cerynjq: Sorry to hear about this issue! Could you check the 'History' panel to see if your closed tabs are listed there? You might be able to restore them from there. In the meantime, we’ll investigate this issue to ensure it doesn’t happen again. Let us know if this helps!

@chawoobie: Thank you for sharing the details! Could you let me know if you’re using a VPN while accessing this site? Some banks have restrictions and may block access if a VPN is detected. If you are using a VPN, try disabling it and see if the issue persists. Hopefully, that resolves the problem! Let me know how it goes.

@daria19: FYI. When I go to my bank website with Chome, I open the login page, enter my username and password, and the site opens. With Opera I go to the login page, enter username and password, then some 10 second authorization takes place, then I have to reenter my username and password on another page, then it rejects the login.

@chawoobie Have you tried doing all this on a clean Opera profile? Maybe some extension is interfering with authorization?

@chawoobie try to check on a clean install of Dev or beta version. Will the problem remain?
