A couple of sites are not allowing me to login with the latest version (65.0.3467.48) (I'm using the right credentials and it works in other browsers), am I the only one?

I have had this problem a couple times, click (in address bar) "Privacy Protection" and turn off tracker, and maybe ads blocked)

The popup shown after click on SSL green lock icon looks really ugly, different color on division line and text, and material design click effect...

The flyout bookmarks section is awful and there is no way to permanently disable the behavior. I want that button to always show the full view. This should be a configurable option. I have nested bookmarks that are MUCH easier to access from the full view than the flyout, and all you've done is make is more difficult for me to get to my bookmarks.

@trman: I found the flag in opera://flags that disables this - this needs to be made into a config option in settings.

@ironbone: Any suggestions.
The problem is only on Linux with remote PDF. I can open a local PDF without problems, so this is not a problem of missing libraries

If tracker blocking is active ebook preview on amazon doesn't work anymore, if tracker blocking is off there are no problems.

To me there is a regression of the address bar: It used to be a truly combined address and search bar, not anymore. The only "search" feature it retains is searching with the current "default" search engine whereas up to now, thanks to a row of tabs at the bottom of the drop down panel I could choose to search with the few preset search engines Opera offers and above all quite a few custom made ones.
Such a possibility remains for highlighted text within a web page (or documents accessed through the browser), I wish it will remain in the future, but I'd like to have it back when typing or pasting in the address bar.
For a host of reasons I like to search a word, a phrase, an author's name directly in this or that online resource, be it Wikipedia in this or that language (and not only in my default language, the catalog of physical libraries or bookshops and not with a preset run of the mill search engine or Amazon!

@gillesconde You can still search with other search engines by using their keywords bfore the search string, like before.

Not much.

Btw, why am I still on 65.0.3467.69? I assume the update was not pushed to the deb repo yet...

I'm sorry but Opers v65.0.3467.72 is dreadful. It is interminably slow and loading from speed dials, one of Opera's best features, takes forever. I've been a loyal & happy Opera user, but since the last few updates it's become horrible to use. If it isn't fixed quickly I'll reluctantly have to use a different browser - it's a real shame as I really like Opera, but it seems to have gone seriously downhill since the last few updates.

Hi @voxman55, open opera:flags#shared-start-page, and check if it's enabled, and if so then disable it, and relaunch the Opera, does it helps in your case?

@leocg THX for the tip. Never used that. I'll have to elaborate on that to be able to commit those shortcuts to my memory.
BTW ran across an error in localisation/translation in the settings in french:
Iin the "Download" section ("Téléchargements") the default folder (or whatever) can't be described as "Géolocalisation": it would mean that one intends to direct the file to a specific pace on the surface of the earth.
"Destination" as in the following line would be perfect.
