I dont like the changes made to the miniplayer for videos and im conflicted on the new search bar results list, maybe make an option to make things like tabs and the miniplayer to be like before but i do like the extended and improved modding support. but either rollback the general opera gx aesthetic to the previous update or give us an option to make either some aspects or all aspects of the browser feel like before.

only used opera for a few days absolutely loving it the only thing i could see being added is to be able to put all the background music into a playlist so you don't have to manually change the music or even just a side bar feature to change the music quickly because having one on repeat can be a bit boring and going into the mods menu can be long but overall feed back is 9/10 experience

It actually used to be good.
Then they started removing features, dumbed them down into being useless, or added things I can't imagine people actually want.Though my primary issues are the removed capability to use multiple letters as a Workspace icon (ie: Instead of using a book, you could use AC, DJ, EL, etc. etc. etc.), tabs being removed from their workspaces and into the "first" or "main" workspace (So you have to manually select and move them back), and the constant crashes when the Browser tries to sync "significant" changes to bookmarks from a linked device.
It has no issue syncing from a fresh startup. Only has an issue after the fact, when I try to sync maybe 100 bookmark changes all at once.
I actually had to completely reinstall the browser once because of this issue, and almost had to do it again just a bit earlier because of the same issue.The first time it crashed almost 50 times in a row, around 2-4 every time I opened the browser. Which I did multiple times. Then I just gave up, and resigned myself to logging into my sites again after reinstalling.
This happened again a bit earlier, but only managed maybe 10-13 crashes. I stopped paying attention after 8 as I tried to bookmark some tabs I hadn't saved and wouldn't remember the names of, but it continued crashing for a little longer.This was never an issue a few years back, and only in recent times (2024 onwards). Which is after the browser started getting worse.
Thankfully, I backup my bookmarks habitually, and have already migrated the vast majority of my things to Firefox. Far better browser overall, the only downside being no workspaces, which is the ONLY reason I continue to use Opera. Other than the fact I refuse to touch Edge (For longer than absolutely necessary, which is the length of time I need to download Firefox), which has a workspace-equivalent.Beyond those personal issues, there's the fact it has never, and likely will never, succeeded at syncing opened tabs, settings, even if they were selected.
The only thing it has ever managed to Sync is Extensions (Doesn't matter much unless you use a TON), Bookmarks (Which also doesn't matter if you export them like you should be), History (Useful I guess?), and maybe Passwords, though I haven't had a password saved on a browser in years, so can't comment on whether that still works.Opera used to be good. Maybe it's just GX that has gone down the drain, but the standard version had changes a while back that I also really didn't like, which is why I dropped it.
Now, Opera's kinda like that one creepy uncle/cousin that nobody wants to talk to, but kinda have to because they're convenient for certain things.If anyone has a browser with a workspace-equivalent that isn't MS Edge, or a hot steaming pile of garbage, feel free to drop it here.
Or don't, because this post will probably be deleted by moderators since it doesn't bend over backwards praising Opera.
Wouldn't be the first time I've seen a post get deleted because someone told me to use something other than Opera if I'm having issues with it.I honest am getting sick and tired of the issues I have with the browser. I know not everyone will agree with me, or even experience the same issues (Though the tabs moving seems to be consistent across 2 different devices). I'm just "hanging on" in the hopes it'll start improving again. Or simply stop getting worse, while I hope for a replacement browser, while not knowing what in the hell I should be searching for to find one.

@leocg Opera GX has been improving consistently, and I appreciate the effort put into making it a top-tier gaming browser. Features like GX Control, RAM & CPU limiter, and the customizable UI truly set it apart. However, it would be great to see further optimization for resource usage and better integration with streaming platforms like Twitch and Discord. Keep up the great work!

Something I would really like to see is an alarm clock, timer, and stopewatch option for the sidebar .
Kinda nitpicky but, another thing is that the adblocker and block trackers option should have seperate buttons in the address bar instead of being joint so u can turn them off or on with a quick click instead of having to hover over the option.
The settings menu should also be opened in the sidebar , as of rn it is really annoying to have to open it in a seperate window .
Another way to fix the settings menu is to replace the easy setup option. The "Easy Setup" isnt used much after you are done setting up for the first time so an option to turn it into a proper settings option along with an option to search in it would be appreciated.
Lastly whenever the zoom is at the normal 100 % the zoom option in the address bar disappears, this is annoying when the plus minus keys dont work in that particular site, so there should be an option to pin the zoom button to never disappear even when the zoom is at 100%. -

turned on a shader earlier because i didn't know what it would do. didn't notice a change right away but when i came back to my pc and checked one of my tabs i noticed it looked dusty... i thought opera added some sort of goofy feature where the old tabs that haven't been used for some time get dusty. great browser honestly i think old pages getting dusty would be hilarious.

Get the old Ui back, atleast add an option to switch to the old Ui design. GX classic isnt cutting it.

[Suggestion/Feedback]
Part 1: In the Mods tab there are 3 tabs, Store, Create, and Manage Mods (1st image), add a 4th tab that allows users to view mods and see the stats such as How much space it takes, when the user downloaded it, etc. (2nd image).
Part 2: have an “Uninstall” option to uninstall mods (for the suggested feature from Part 1), and Mod Download history as another category in downloads (3rd image).
Images below are to help as references for suggestions to provide an example for each part

(Below) 3rd Image
(edited the screenshot above to show how downloads tab would look with suggested feature) -

Dear Opera Team,
I would like to express my dissatisfaction with the new user interface introduced in the latest versions of Opera GX. While I understand the intent to modernize the browser’s design, I find the new UI less intuitive, visually less efficient, and detrimental to my overall user experience.
I respectfully request that you consider adding an option to switch between the new and old interface, or at least enable an experimental flag to restore classic visual elements. Customization has always been one of Opera GX’s strong points, and I believe this flexibility should be preserved.
Thank you for your attention, and I hope this suggestion is taken into consideration for future updates.
Sincerely,
Long-time Opera GX user.
