@Opera-QA-Team I also noticed that toolbar popups have a weird shadow effect for the top border. Maybe its by design but it looks blurry or like 3d effect (it seems like the top's shadow should be under the popup, not on top).
Bottom's and edge borders look clear.

For example Extensons popup.

@opera-qa-team: No checkbox boders anywhere. Check for example: MDN site: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Reference/Elements/input/checkbox
(That was reported already for previous dev version.)

@sopronman: they're phasing out the beta build, leaving only 'stable' and 'dev' builds (but adding an 'early bird' setting to the stable build). Not sure why none of the Opera employees have mentioned it. Here is the blog post: https://blogs.opera.com/desktop/2025/12/opera-presents-early-bird-mode/

Starting with this release (but potentially a bit earlier as I may not have restarted between a couple earlier opera-developer builds): when Opera first starts up, the address bar is truncated. I see something like 30-35 chars worth, then a slight fade, then just empty background (as if the URL were only that long, but it is not).

This is visible on multiple tabs. As soon as I click inside the address bar, the full contents become visible, and this 'sticks' and fixes the address bar appearance on all tabs, for the rest of the session.

(Also: learned this because a web site crashed Opera. The site was messages.google.com, their web-access-to-SMS/RCS site. I had operated its '...' menu > Send feedback, wrote them a bug report, clicked on their 'take screenshot' button, got as far as telling it to actually take the screenshot -- and Opera restarted. Have not tried to reproduce this since then, not particularly enjoying sudden browser restarts...

Obviously these are two separate bugs for you to look into... : )

@filbo aaaand... confirmed the crash bug. Steps:

1. messages.google.com -- then do whatever setup is required for them to mirror your phone's SMS/RCS onto that site (might work without that -- not tested)

2. '⋮' menu on per-chat-top-bar of site > Send feedback

3. enter any text into 'Description' box

4. 'Capture screenshot'

5. dialog pops up, 'Allow messages.google.com to see this tab?'

6. click [Allow]

7. Opera crashes instantly
