UI overhaul in Opera 37.1

Current Speed Dial really should contain as a tab:

History (from "user center")
Synced Tabs (from that cloud-icon on tabs view thing)
Recently closed pages

I think all this stuff should be available from the box right on the main page.
User center instead could contain all other less important things: downloads, downloaded page, bookmarks, some syncing things, cross-browser history (why not?), etc, etc.

It could be customizable, as it is now for news and stuff.

Please, restore "TABLET MODE"!

Guys, I was using Opera Browser Beta for a long time and it is such a good browser? But after recent update you cut out "Tablet Mode". Why you did that? Are you crazy? This feature, together with "Text Wrap" and "Ads Block", is what it makes Opera Browser GREAT!!! Why you abandoned "Tablet Mode"? Nowadays, almost everyone has a smartphone with 5.7 inch screen and "Tablet Mode" was an enjoyment on a smartphone.

I'm very disappointed with you. I immediately threw out Opera Browser Beta and downloaded Opera Browser. And I will not update it to the newest version because I assume that you definitely remove "Tablet Mode" after you update Opera Browser as well.

Thank you, the user interface feels refreshing.

However, I really dislike it when an application makes decisions for me, that is without asking.

The three things that you should consider to change:

I want the ability to use the "Tablet" layout on my device, regardless of whether it is a tablet or not. I acknowledge that it there is a certain appeal to it, but I dislike the time it takes for the tab overview and the tab switching animations to execute.
I do not want to be presented with icons which cannot be removed when I click on the address and search bar combination. If you require advertisement, it should not only be announced properly, there should also be a way to make a purchase to avoid it.
The page refresh button or function seems to be missing! -- Wait a minute, it seems to be there at the left edge of the address bar, but no icon is displayed.

"You can try this out by visiting Deezer.com and clicking on the blue button."

I do not use that "social" network to which the buttons pertain, but I did notice that there are two blue buttons there.

:yes:

"After today's update what is that arrow in 3-dot menu"

That is the "Forward" function.

Don't need all buttons on the bottom

Anyway the new ui feels nice and clean. Good job

Interesting place where place forward button

"Interesting"

While

Back button on the bottom menu completely duplicates standard android "back" button

Hey what does the advanced setting "Copy and search" do?

Oh... It doesn't look very useful as there's already a "Search the web" in the marked text menu overflow...

For tablet users, Forward "button" is gone again. Could we get Forward and Back both on pulldown menu. Sometimes system Back doesn't take you where you want (sorry, can't give specific instances). At least for consistency, Forward and Back shld be in the same place.

All changes are good for the new beta Opera, except:

Why did you removed "App layout" choice option? In my Note 5, I am comfortable with Tablet layout, not with phone layout and let the choice be on user. I like Opera over others only for this reason.
Another vital reason to use Opera over other is option for setting "User Agent". I use "Desktop" all the time and like it. Hope you will not be disturbing this.
A bug found: cannot set a speed dial screen as home page which is possible in the current stable version.

If these are corrected, then only I will upgrade to the new version otherwise will stay with the current stable version only.

Hope you will listen to the feedback and make necessary changes for the final version.
