@leocg I honestly don't want them to support MV2 for every single addon that didn't switch to MV3 yet.

Only for uBO if they do, it's enough. As how Brave does.

@pilis00 The problem that they can't answer what they don't know yet.

Only when a version of Chromium with support for Manifest V2 dropped is related they will be able to check if keeping the support will be easy or if it will have a big possibility of causing issues.

And even if keeping the support is easy at that moment, things may be different when a newer version of Chromium is released.

Unfortunately if Opera won't give an update on this, and I'll see them dropping uBO in June, I'll very likely have to switch to another browser again.

I switched to Opera back in December after Chrome deactivated uBO, and I found Opera is among the browsers that "plan" to say that now, as they didn't really confirm, to keep uBO.

I can confirm the exit full screen bug when using F11.
Here it happens in both Stable and Developer on Win10x64.

There's again some awful animation for speed dial tiles.
When creating new tab happens randomly, sometimes no animation, sometimes flashy animation, sometimes tiles are increasing more or less smoothly.
Clicking 'refresh' while on SD page also looks ugly, background flashes, tiles are flashing also.

*Some time ago the animation was hidden under flag, later the both flag and animation disappeared, I thought it become clear that there's no need for such animation. But now it's back again (in addition to the complained bouncing tiles opening animation). I have an unhealthy interest how long the mockery will continue.

@andrew84 I see it's like that in the Bookmarks heart menu when hovering over a bookmarks folder too.

@burnout426 yes, also in OMenu for page zoom controls and EasySetup for buttons.

*actually, color editing (selecting brighter blue) helps here but the default one blue color is bad. .

@pilis00: Thanks for reaching out and sharing your concerns. We understand how important uBlock Origin is for many of our users. While we can't guarantee indefinite support for it, I can assure you that we plan to support uBlock Origin for as long as it's feasible. In the meantime, we recommend trying out Opera's built-in ad blocker as an alternative, which might meet your needs. If you have any more questions or need further assistance, feel free to reach out!

@daria19 it doesn't bother me much because I don't use it daily. I just noticed the post regarding this on forum.

It's the animation how SD tiles appear.

Sadly I don't like it, sometimes ads manage to bypass it, so that's why uBO is better.

@daria19 here is an example of animation that is annoying
We open a tab, close it, and on the Speed Dial all the tiles "blink"

@tastodd probably it's some kind of new animation being tested, I also have this.

@andrew84 sorry, my bad.

I use Opera since December last year, so I didn't know that.

@pilis00 The first variant of animation was that the tiles were appearing quickly one by one. Of course, causing a huge delay before all the tiles appear. After multiple complaints they did the animation when all the tiles bounce at once (like it looks currently). Complaints continued and they hid the animation feature under the flag. Later the flag disappeared.
Now the animation is back. again.
It seems they are very stubborn forcing to see the useless animations without options to disable it.
