@johnston5129 I guess that is one of the reasons for the flag to be disabled by default.

In addition to the white flashes while opening Internal pages, I also see the the white flash while the browser is loading (sometimes there's a flash too when I refresh the start page). https://streamable.com/5ihik

• Also on the video you can notice that one of the tiles has a wrong thumbnail picture (red solid background of the Opera blog, it's unclear where it appears from). And the tile becomes correct after page refresh. The same happens on both PCs (you can see the screenshot I posted earlier, there are more wrong tiles)

• No Workspaces visible on Settings internal page (sidebar settings)

Is it an intended behavior that when I have only speed dial tab opened and I switch 'Workspaces' it recreates the speed dial tab again (with closing cross on it). I don't understand the logic.

When I click the cross the current workspace is automatically switched to the last workspace.

I'd like to switch workspaces and see the regular speed dial tab (which can't be closed) without that extra cross on it.
Currently if I click the 'home' icon workspace again for example, I won't see speed dial tab looking like this

it will have cross on it and it will be a closeable tab.

Hey guys, where I can find tabs opened on other devices? Tabs search is good but I need opened tabs on other devices.
And second, can you please add possibility show sidebar ONLY on speed dial. I don't want see sidebar when I browsing sites. But I often open new tab for open news or settings or browser history etc in this case sidebar on speed dial will be very nice.
Thanks

@leocg I'd prefer a small icon always visible on the toolbar better, as most of the weather extensions work (+ tootip with more detailed info)

When I click the icon I get a detailed info popup

• It worse, but the icon could be located on the sidebar instead of toolbar.

@fuliozor Type opera://activity in address bar to see tabs from other devices.

@leocg: It's nice! But maybe you have button to this action? Like it was in previous version. And list of recent closed tabs was perfect feature!

@xantares: personally i would simply use the ctrl + tab to look through all the tabs in a fast manner

@fuliozor There is the one in side bar but it's kinda erratic.

@simcard Not yet. The built-in "Aliexpress observer" extension from Opera only appeared in Opera 68.0.3616.0 developer. I think this is an experiment at the moment. To get more information, we need to wait for the next developer builds.

Connection to the Cloudflare DNS server:
The test took a little longer this time. But finally Opera lost the connection again. So it's not completely fixed yet.

Bottom left and bookmarks bar folders tooltips still have the light background instead of dark.

Interesting is that you use the lighter blue background for selected items in the sidebar's bookmarks/history panels in darkmode (that looks pleasant to eyes), but don't want using the same for bookmarks bar dropdowns (and menus/context menus)

@andrew84 The former is probably implemented with web technologies (HTML, JS, CSS) while the latter is probably implemented with native platform widgets. If so, the latter probably takes more work and perhaps more patching of the Chromium UI to get things to match.

@burnout426 Maybe. But in GX it's possible to select any color for the highlighting (and this affects on both panel's items and bookmarks dropdown's items).

Some visual issues on Personal News page (in Stable version as well).

• Comparing to 58 version the sources expanding arrow position is weird here (it's located in upper position and too close )
  
• search section looks solid blue and not separated from the background.
  
• highlighting effect for the source's item has a weird section.
  
• page has invisible header (I can't scroll upper)
  
  in 58 there's a separator line
