Updating from Version:74.0.3897.0
The progress bar fails to show and gets stuck on Checking for updates… (the notification to restart to update shows tho)

Why Open the Web?

Despite the connecting purpose of the Web, it is not entirely open to all of its users.
When used correctly, HTML documents can be displayed across platforms and devices.
However, many devices are excluded access to Web content.

The user-unfriendly behaviour of the previous version in "Clear browser data" is still there.

SearchTabs popup still closes after an active tab was removed https://forums.opera.com/post/236197
Despite of multiple reports you released it with incorrect behavior. After an active tab was closed the SearchTabs popup closes too. Previous TabMenu stays opened
https://forums.opera.com/post/233425

*The SearchInTabs popup was created to manage a lot of opened tabs. Let's assume that I want to close some tabs (for example Opera related), I search for 'Opera' and then I'm closing the tabs one by one. If the found tabs include an active tab, the popup will be closed too and I will have to open the popup and search again?
And why this happens only with active tabs.. I close background tabs and the popup stays opened.
I also think that active tab should be marked in the SearchTabs (highlighted or using bold text)

Nihil novi sub sole, or old habits never die.

Snapshot is worthless as usual.

Make the unpinned sidebar panels to appear (like the EasySetup and sidebar setup panels do slide out) below the address bar (bookmarks bar), so tabs and address field is not overlapped. Also move panel's badge icon with address to the left.

could you please stop closing (hiding) opera window on macOS when last tab is closed.. I used to browsing mostly in 1 tab.. and to go back to speed dials I just close the tab (I know about speed dials button.. but as I said I'm used to just close the last tab.. to make new speed dial page open.. on windows it goes just well.. on macos it just closed (hides) opera.. so I have to move cursor to my dock and open it again.. then I do forget this and "automatically" close tab.. and opera hides again.. just read some opera forum threads.. where users asking to add such behavior to windows.. but they just don't know what kind of bu.. pain it is.. you want to close last tab, to get new tab opened.. and instead it just closes the browser

It is impossible to remove/edit speed dial entry, bookmarks is ok. I have tried with a blank version of this build with the same results, in case it was something else that cause this kind of problem.

Some time ago I asked for simple thing -
Some vertical division lines on setting pages are not movable

See how Spotify works with such solution. Opera needs the polishing touches like hell.

When opening the SerchTabs popup an active tab should be the highlighted light blue. When simply hovering tabs some less brighter blue color should be used (the same is with recently closed items). Maybe the same color which is currently used for items on the BABE (I think it will unify the UI).
In TabMenu an active tab was highlighted.

*the highlighted box still overlaps scrollbar.
