General Opera GX Feedback Topic V2

I believe that Opera GX was made initially for only gamers, but over time, it became just a new general browser. I prefer it over Chrome, but many remnants of the gaming-focused ideas still lurk. When I'm researching something or looking at a poorly tab-optimized thing, It can become hard to find what I need because there are so many tabs cluttering my browser. I hope more work-focused features are added in the future because I like many exclusive opera and Opera GX features.

I wish to request that the sponsored links only be in the Suggestions section, and ask that y'all stop adding stuff like "Hero wars" or "Crunchyroll" or "GX.games" to my Speed Dial. I do not understand why y'all would think that it is ok to do that, it makes the browser feel really sketchy.

@Zelgeth According to the Terms of Service, Opera may include promotional stuff.
In settings page you can disable that promotional stuff. -

I've been using Opera and Opera GX for years. I recently switched back to Opera from GX after an update changed the UI to New Look, which turns out to be buggy. I later discovered that you can turn New Look off but, as has happened before, Opera just presents you with an unexpected change and doesn't tell you how to revert it if you don't want it.
I'm offering my feedback because returning to original Opera after an absence has really clarified some of the concerns I've had about GX. I was originally attracted it to it as a gamer and because of it's customization features, but over the years I feel that it's suffered from serious feature creep, stuffing more and more unwanted, unnecessary features into it which just clutter it up for no good reason, while basic browser functions and elements remain relatively undeveloped and appear increasingly outdated.
Here's an example
Regular Opera, on the left, has a more compact layout with virtually every tile showing a recognizable logo. Opera GX has larger tiles, but they're just blank tiles with the URL on them. It looks messy and overcluttered, extremely outdated next to regular Opera So I really would have preferred that the GX devs had spent more time improving basic features and functions rather than just stuffing in more bloat like mods and shaders, etc.

Picture in Picture mode - it prevents user from moving the modal above the screen, however there's no padding for going below.
I'd suggest adding the same rule for the bottom of the screen, however keep applying it to the top. So probably a minimum of 0 (if starting top right) + 2(*margin 'til exit button).
prob need to apply the same rules for the sides of the screen too, and handle the xy accordingly

I loved at first when I downloaded the opera gx, the customizable features were so cool. But from the last few month, the shaders stopped working glitching, browser became so slow, often crashing, like in my online meeting which was extremely horrible experience!. And I found out the opera GX browser is bad ad keeping customer privacy through many youtube videos. And passbolt is not working i guess for some reason to privacy issues.

AgentCPU0 last edited byI'm going to start out saying this: I am giving up on Opera GX completely
Now that I have the attention of the devs, first of all, yes, I am serious. I will be switching to Brave as soon as I make this post. I have been using GX for about a year, and when I first started, is was great. But the longer I used it, the slower it became. This browser is advertised to be fast, and great for gamers. I have never felt more lied to in my entire life. And I'm sure someone is going to respond by saying "disable these settings, turn off your extensions, clear your cache and data". Listen, I have tried ALL of that, and none of that has helped in the slightest. And I have a pretty powerful PC as well, so I know hardware isn't the issue. If the devs truly cared about this browser and wanted to make it the best it can possibly be, then this shouldn't be an issue in the first place, and yet it is. I am done, I am frustrated, and I am not dealing with it anymore. I wouldn't even recommend this browser to my worst enemy, it is pure torture how painfully slow it is

I loved opera gx before now it turned into a garbage browser. To start, whats with the reaktinator suddenly ruining your experience and zero tutorials on how to remove it. The only tutorial or instruction I received is through reddit. What a hell feature. On that note, search function in settings is garbage. Its only matching what you search with word match and does'nt only showing you the setting what you search for but you have to scroll down for it. Even worse, its not suggesting a setting if the word doesn't match one by one even if the setting you searched worked the same. Where is the UX designers on this. Also, where is the tab grouping feature? I remember using it way back before on OPera GX but suddenly I cant tab group anymore. I dont mean the workspaces because its garbage it does not compensate to tab grouping. Workspaces is not the solution just bring back the tab grouping where you can just drag a tab to another tab to group. Whats happening opera.

I'm trading over to exclusively using Opera GX from a regular combination of Chrome and Edge use. The biggest thing that has stopped me from doing this sooner is the annoying function of the Work Space system. Because of my work I am prone to having dozens and dozens of tabs open at once with various pages that I need to touch on for research or projects.
Chrome and Edge allow me to collect tabs into similar groups based on topic, and these groups can vary from window to window. I can also name each window so I can find what I need fast. Opera does not have this capacity and the Workspace systems staple the same groups into every single window. That might work for someone who only has one window open at a time, but I work with between 5 and 10 windows open at once. I've looked into extensions to make up for this shortcoming, but they fail to meet what I need.
Recommendations:
- Enable tab grouping and collection collapse in each workspace to minimize clutter and maintain organization.
- Allow for different Work Spaces per window.
- Window labeling for easy searching.
TLDR: Opera GX page organization method sucks for someone who has dozens of tabs open across several windows on the daily. Better features and methods are needed.
