Hey! Love the Opera UI, but the drop-down panel with speed dials is gone from the url bar. How to enable it back?

@aleksod: More beautiful? Good joke. that new floating panels are awful (as well as the tabs bar, quick settings panel, new downloads page)... Thank God there are flags to disable them...

These panels (Bookmarks/History) work as web pages? They are affected by 'page zoom' selected in Settings, in this case allow to use Ctrl + '+/-' to increase/decrease the content. On 1368x768 screen and 100% selected zoom the panels look more or less ok and similar to browser's UI, but on 1920x1080 monitor I have set page zoom to 125% and content of the panels looks a bit too large in this case.

@eugene-b: It’s very bad that they ignored it, now users of the stable Opera channel are suffering, tomorrow Saturday and Sunday I will have to use another browser for 3 days and this is inconvenient.

@temkem: @andrew84: Because of these bugs Opera loses its users I will have to use Google Chrome, Vivaldi, Yandex Browser these 3 days until the weekend passes because my CPU loads on my Opera and everything slows down while Opera is my favorite browser from version 9 on Presto.They have not yet fixed the old bugs; new ones appear; here the problems with double scrolling are still not fixed:

When you try to add a bookmark and select the desired folder, two scroll bars appear
for the second scroll bar appears, you need to have more than 30 sub folders.

@firuz-u7 When you add a bookmark to any place other than the "bookmark Bar", still for some reason for a second the" bookmark Bar " opens and closes itself. They are already bogged down in regressions that stretch from previous versions, and now there are new ones))

@andrew84 As far as I know, Opera's internal pages (history, bookmarks, etc) are like web pages.

@firuz-u7 I'm in Opera developer 66 and although I can see the high CPU usage when watching videos, it doesn't seem to slow down my computer.

@leocg said in Opera 65 comes with an improved tracker blocker and redesigned address bar:

internal pages (history, bookmarks, etc) are like web pages.

I know, and exceptional zooming(Ctrl + mouse wheel) works there, but zooming doesn't work in case of sidebar panels.

@temkem Yes, let them remove this stupid animation about playing video on tabs, but simply put the speaker image like on Chrome and make adding bookmarks normal with one scroll bar and not this stupid one with two scroll bars.

After starting Opera and opening the first bookmark from the bookmarks sidebar with the "Middle mouse button" (a new tab in the background) - it is not visually visible whether the tab has opened or not, because this tab is closed by the bookmarks sidebar.
The bookmarks/history sidebar should not be the height of the entire window. It should reach the address bar, so as not to close any tabs or address bar.

@leocg And you think that it’s normal when Opera has a high CPU load, even if the video doesn’t slow down, not everyone has powerful CPUs i9, i7, i5, ryzen amd and only the browser is not always running, several more applications are running in parallel with the browser and they all slow down because I'm listening music or I’m watching watching videos, with another browser from Google Chrome, Vivaldi, Yandex Browse, Mozilla Firefox with the same CPU loads, the maximum load is 5% and minimum 2%.

@temkem: I think all the sidebar panels (if not pinned) should open like EasySetup menu opens

@andrew84 Yes, that's what I meant.

@firuz-u7 No, I don't think it's normal.

And by the way, I don't think that anything less than an I5 (or the equivalent for non intel CPUs) could be even called a computer.

@leocg: But there are laptops with i3, Pentium and celeron and PC for the office and even smartphones and tablets their processor is much weaker than i3 but in the world they are full but even so they can comfortably watch video and the CPU is not loaded but Opera loads the CPU and this is not normal

@leocg: It seem that I'm using calculator )). I'm glad that Opera still supports calculators, but I'll take it into account that to use Opera without issues I need some high performance machine with i7 or higher on board.
