      The philosophy seems to have changed majorly from the old Opera to the new. Previously everything was customizable, but now Opera has gone in a different direction, more akin to Chrome.

      Like some of the others, I can't use a browser without a menu bar option since I have another program that always sits where the menu bar is. In every other program it's fine, except in Chrome, and now Opera, it blocks the tabs.

      If possible, I'd suggest trying Firefox -- with a combination of a number of extensions, you can duplicate almost all of the old Opera's features.

      Best regards,

        ????
        It doesn't block the tabs, at least in maximized window you can easily click them. With a classic menu bar you want yes it'd block the tabs regardless of window restore state.

          I don't have to get used to anything. I don't like it this way and will not put up with it.

          No big deal. Just press the alt key to open the menu. It's a very simple toggle. If you won't do that, then you need to use another browser.

            LOL... so he made one post... count that ONE... just to announce that he will not, he cannot put up with it and is going to Firefox. Didn't want to discuss it. Wasn't looking for answers (lem gave him the answer). No, he just wanted to climb atop his soapbox and spout off. Okay, you had your fifteen seconds. And y'all have a nice day in Firefox land. Bye.

                i'm finding this a bit confusing.
                "alt" simply makes the name of the current tab vanish while u see the menu bar, BUT where has my red opera button gone with "turbo" on it?

                      on the above subject of needed code for both tab,and i guess red "O" button as options, the arguement about extra code seems pointless.the code for both exist already, and professional developers will have templates etc....
                      i just want the actual options like turbo that i got with the red "O" button. it's less time-wasting to navigate my way through.

                        After perusing this thread and the previous, this is what I've discovered:

                        Answer #1 is apparently: Only stupid people need a menu bar.

                        Answer #2 is: But everything is still there

                        Answer #3 is: It "saves space".

                        In response to #1, I used to come to web forums for help accomplishing certain tasks. When I first started, the Adobe forums were a newbie's dream. People were friendly, other people would bump your post if they had the same question, highly regarded pros in the field in question would get on and give you great tips.

                        Did I mention that people were friendly? That's an important part. Everything changed about 2003 or so, people started turning into major pricks and seemed more interested in calling you names

                        To sum it all up:

                        I was using Opera until about a year ago, from the days when it was a beta product. They used to be innovative, but I quit because it became a top heavy piece of crap that STILL didn't work with many websites. I got tired of playing the games, waiting for realistic support. I thought maybe they would have cleaned their act up, and I really missed my mouse gestures. Besides, I had wondered about the lack of a menu bar, and found a single a-hole on the Chrome "help" forums who did the same thing as Pasela, and decided that he'd play the A-hole in charge. It's like I'm on an Apple message board...

                        Also: If you don't have an actual answer, and aren't looking to solve the same issue, stay off of the thread.

                          What is your question? Or is this first-time post simply an opportunity to spout off?
                          And... since you don't "have an actual answer and aren't looking to solve any issue", perhaps you should follow your own advice and: "stay off of the thread."
