@leocg then you should stop answering questions like you could change anything, know anything or even understand anything about that all. if you arent employed at opera or some kind of developer, why do you know the users asked for that? how can you see there arent power-users? how can you answer "for" opera?

would be great to know that even one person, who really take questions and problems seriously and can have an impact and use them, is reading this forum. because this forum is full with helpful input, but it seems that no one cares.

@leonhardttobias This is a forum, anyone can reply as long as it doesn't violate any rules.

Power users may have been something back on the beginning of the internet, but now, in 2022, there is no such thing.
Having hundreds of tabs opened or thousands of bookmarks don't turn anyone into power users.

I don't answer for Opera and such discussion, if bookmarks/speed dials should be added to the top or to the bottom is not exactly new

Is there any indication that this change will be reverted any time soon? Or maybe that an option will be added to sort bookmarks by "newly added"?

so far, apparently, only the rollback to 86.0.4363.59 and the killing of the update...

DNA-99391 Add bookmarks at the bottom of a bookmarks bar folder
@escruting It seems like a kind of bug then.
Maybe if people make a bug report for it, the developers will take this into account.

This change also contradicts another behaviour in bookmarks. When I drag and drop a bookmark into a folder, the bookmark is added to the top of the list.

So I have been using this behaviour to add the latest bookmarks to the top from the bottom of the folder, but hope they provide a fix soon.

This new placing of bookmarks on the end of the list makes it really difficult to navigate my bookmarks and impossible on mobile phone where the scrolling is slower.

Absolutely hate this, thought all my bookmarks were not saving at first, I save to other bookmarks then keep the ones being used there while moving others to different files. Changes are good for some users and attracting new users whilst keeping the browser up to date is understandable but giving the option to those who prefer the older system without having to swap back to the earlier version would be nice.

This is written on the official Opera site, under the Opera services section:
"Opera relies on our community of testers and long-time fans to help innovate the next generation of browsing and data-saving experiences. If you have any questions about your Opera account or the services that come with it, you may find these resources useful"
I believe that all of us here are, at least "long-time fans", so we should help to find a solution.
As someone said, we should report a bug, and maybe initiate something to happens.

This is the official link for Opera bug report wizard:

@lerinjo Since it's not exactly a bug, you should send a request/suggestion to revert it to the old behavior.

@leocg from my point of view, it is a bug, annoying one.

I sent a report, so now i am waiting for any reply.

@lerinjo You probably won't get one.

@leocg in that case, if they ignore my report without any answer, i will know that it is time to move further on some other product that listens on customer demands and suggestions.
Maybe if more of you do something, like i did, there would be some reaction.

What is the point of this forum if not to speak out loud and suggest some changes.

@lerinjo As you probably already noticed in the confirmation message that you received when you made your report, Opera doesn't reply to bug reports unless they need more info to solve the problem.

Opera should fix this.
The only reason I still open Opera it's for bookmark storage. And now they do this. This is insane.

Opened a new file named - other - at the top of the bookmark files list to drag them to, still annoying but better than nothing

Using Opera GX was pretty fantastic as I just started using it around a month ago. The bookmark at the top was new for me and I really enjoyed it. Although sorting my date would be fantastic as well. Now neither are happening which is a bummer, and I can't find any extension that helps with that. I sure hope they resolve this.
