@andrew84: Hello! Thanks for your feedback on the speed dial tiles animation. We strive to provide a smooth browsing experience, so it's helpful to hear from you. Could you possibly show us a video or screen recording of the specific animation that's bothering you? It would really help us understand the issue better and work towards a solution. Appreciate your insights!

@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.

we recommend trying out Opera's built-in ad blocker as an alternative, which might meet your needs.

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

I can assure you that we plan to support uBlock Origin for as long as it's feasible.

YES, YES, YES!! =333

@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.

@andrew84 Yes, it would be good if they brought back the ability to turn off this animation for those who find it annoying or don't like it.

@tastodd Simply need to link the animations (including the one when clicking tiles) with the existing 'reduce animations' toggle in Settings.

@marinaz909 I've noticed text-like (.txt/.json etc) and non-image (non-(JPG|PNG|TIFF|BMP|ICO|PDF)). Archives (.zip/.7z and like) also show up that way.
