          What on earth is this new UI šŸ’€

          Now that there is no way to go back to the old layout i was wondering if there are any other browsers yall recommend.

            So, should we all just install an older version of Opera and turn off updates?

              If you haven't fixed it already, go to C:\Users*username*\AppData\Roaming\Opera Software\Opera GX Stable and edit the "Local State" file you can change this from true to false it should fix it, well it did for me

              gxx_flags":{"enabled":false,

                      The new opera gx layout is a bit annoying to get used to especially how everything is smaller. yes that does give more space for the main window but I would prefer it if you could either choose or customize it more. while having this new layout like this is indeed more sorted based on category but I would still like to have the option to have the tools as they were and larger.

                      a positive change about the new layout is this setting bar. it's much more intuitive than the old way too navigate the main settings and such

                                The removal of the old UI option sucks. The new UI looks worse and disrupts the flow of my searching, now that everything looks different, and it should be added back. There is no good reason not to have the ability to just chose which you want

                                  @Caraway The old UI probably will/is being removed, as usually happens when there is a layout change in a software.

                                    for those who don't wanna modify the file that krasen is talking about, i wrote a little launcher to make it for you, all the instructions are in the repo:

                                      @KhronosPy Might help to mention in the readme that you might have to adjust the path to opera.exe in OperaGX_WithOldTheme.ps1. By default, the Opera GX installer puts opera.exe at "${env:localappdata}\Programs\Opera GX\opera.exe" and only uses "${env:programfiles}\Opera GX\opera.exe" when you click "options" in the installer and switch to an all-user install.

                                      The user can find the install folder path by going to the URL opera://about.

                                        @burnout426 Yes I just noted too, I added two possible paths now, and i would add that on the readme!. Thanks!

                                          @KhronosPy I played with making a browser launcher a long time ago here (for a different purpose). What I ended up doing is requiring the launcher to be next to the browser's executable and having the launcher always figure out its own path (to use for the base path to the browser's executable). More complicated though, but...

                                            @burnout426 I thought about that too, but for accesibility i just make it as it is now, But i have plans to make a search for the path by it self later, I just made the repo today soon as i found out about the update.
