So yes, it seems this is indeed a new issue that occurs, and if my memory doesn't fool me, it happens right with this last version (with .83 at the end).

I went extreme and I even did a Windows reinstall. On a clean Opera installation the issue doesn't exist, but after logging into sync, it does appear.

So it must be something history-related that causes this bug.

Hi, after updating to this version, every time I restart my PC I get the "intro" and "welcome" screens.

Goto the URL opera://about. Does the version actually say 118.00.5461.83? If not, Opera might be stuck in an update loop. You can uninstall Opera (do not choose to delete your data), delete the install folder, delete everything in "C:\Windows\temp" and "C:\Users\yourusername\AppData\Local\temp", download the Opera installer, launch it, click "options", review everything and reinstall Opera. That usually fixes it if that's what you're experiencing.

If that's not it, it sounds like Opera might be having trouble writing to your files. While Opera is closed, in Windows Explorer (File Explorer), in both "C:\Users\yourusername\AppData\Roaming" and "C:\Users\yourusername\AppData\Local", right-click on the "Opera Software" folder and click the "read only" checkbox so that it's clear (all white) and click apply. Then, switch to the security tab, make sure your username is in the list and make sure it has full permissions ("Allow" for everything except special permissions"). Then, apply and OK out. That might fix things.

@burnout426 does this issue also occur to you?

In overall, I liked the original Enhanced address bar because it had customizable quick action buttons (copy, paste, paste and go and etc).

Later the address bar dropdown was modified multiple times and ended up with limited functional.

Despite of multiple suggestions to make it customizable and powerful tool it stays too simple and pretty useless for me so I just turned it off and forgot.

@andrew84 Also, even now when seeing the 5 years old redesign (reborn 3 particularly) it looks so fresh, light, unified and modern.
https://blogs.opera.com/desktop/2019/02/opera-r-3-developer/

Especially I liked the description.

The main function of a frame of a picture or painting is to enhance the viewer’s experience of the work it houses, not to distract from it. We believe a browser should provide such a frame for the web. With R3, we’ve put web content at center stage. We’ve removed dividing lines between sections so you can browse without borders and unhindered by unnecessary distractions.

Now in One version we have the deviding lines everywhere including the content border.
Especially looks absurd against the backdrop of display manufacturers which try make the frames as thin as possible.

@pilis00 No. My History file is quite fresh and not that big though.

For the past month or so I've experienced crashes several times per day, sometimes they seem to be timed hourly.

Crash logging is enabled.

For some days, I notice that bookmarks reappear the next day after I deleted them and also emptied the trash bin.

@thelittlebrowserthatcould Hello, do you remember the exact steps that triggered the crash? If so, please share the details with us.
It would also be helpful if you could provide the crash ID, which you can find by going to opera://crashes. Thank you in advance!

@mathias87 Hello, this issue appears to be related to Opera Sync. Please check if Sync is enabled, and whether another device connected to your account might be restoring the deleted bookmarks.
We recommend temporarily disabling Sync to see if the issue still occurs. Let us know if the problem persists after that.

@cookie-drummer Hello, thank you for feedback! If you recall the specific actions that triggered the crash, we’d appreciate it if you could share them with us.
Additionally, providing the crash ID (available at opera://crashes) would help us investigate further.
Thank you!

Why is there still no choice on a non-US search engine for the default? Opera on my mobile has Qwant, how hard is it to add Qwant or Ecosia?

@spike666 It depends on them wanting to make a agreement with Opera, I guess
