@alobpreis im using a 125% zoom on my pc, the other 3 laptops (acer, hp and lenovo) 100%

the sample image (https://support.hp.com/static/hp-portal-theme-static/themes/Portal8.0/hp/images/toronto_Avatar.png) form HP looks normal at 100% up, but is the image is below 75% zoom star to blur, and 50% zoom for example:

75% zoom hardly noticeable:

Opera portable

Opera desktop

50% zoom:

Opera portable

Opera desktop

now, get this, in opera desktop, if you load the imagen sample at 100% and them zoom down to 50% looks normal but if you click/move to other tab, minimize opera or change to another app or folder maximize, get blurry.

@alobpreis i mean opera portable repository (this is desktop https://get.opera.com/ftp/pub/opera/desktop/)

-already try purging/deleting the profile and cache (also the install folder for good measure) and ccleaning the windows registrar before re-installing (and the others pc, all fresh install)

-Private windows, same issue.
-reset flags (-reinstalling fresh, no data/cache, no extensions, no flags or any other modification).

I also tried this and could not reproduce.

Oh, sorry about the non-portable version. Here it is:
https://portableapps.com/news/2022-02-15--opera-portable-83.0.4254.62-released

The profile and cache folders you deleted, are the ones that are displayed here?
opera://about

A portable installation should be the same as a 100% fresh new installation, there must be something remaining somewhere.

In case you want to investigate, I recommend a tool called Everything, which lets you find any file or folder by name on all your drives, but at lightning speed (it might just take some seconds on the first run).

@alobpreis and, i believe i found the reason.

looks like the installers in the repository (https://get.opera.com/ftp/pub/opera/desktop/) are tamper or corrupt.

i install opera with the web installer form the website download bottom (OperaSetup.exe 2.64 MB), and no issues, all pictures/images crisp and pristine.

if you install opera 89.0.4447.48 (the last update) or any other prior versions listed on the repository (https://get.opera.com/ftp/pub/opera/desktop/) you will get the blurry image issue.

that explain why the issue persist on PCs with different OS, brand, parts and configurations, shame because i don't like the floating tool tips on the tabs, i guess i just have to live with that.

If opera staff read this(i dont now if they do), plz check with the repository installers, they might be compromised/corrupt.

I can confirm the issue here on Win 8.1x64.
The image on HP website is blurry (2nd picture) in O78 (I'm using daily) and clear (1st picture in the latest Stable 89.0.4447.48 Portable

I put 200% zoom in browser for larger image (usually I use 125% as default zoom)

Edit: Portable I mean the USB installation option selected in installer.
I also checked in latest Opera developer and the image looks clear too. Developer is installed (not portable) but was downloaded from ftp.
I can't remember how the 78 version was installed so I can't say whether there is really some issue or in 89 version and developer version there are some enhancements are made regarding the image displaying.

@andrew84 thanks.

Just re-test 89.0.4447.38 desktop version form https://get.opera.com/ftp/pub/opera/desktop/ in some others PCs (for good mesure).

Asus X551M
Windows 8.1 pro 64bits

HP stream 11-d010nr
Windows 7 ultimate 7601 64bits

My old pc, ryzen 1600, asus board, (etc.)
Windows 10 1909

Same issue.

I never try testing the developers versions, will do soon(https://get.opera.com/ftp/pub/opera-developer/).

@mrmufa5a what about the latest 89.0.4447.48 but installed as portable (usb installation option)?

@andrew84 Just tested opera portable/usb 89.0.4447.48, images are perfect.

i have both versions, portable/usb and desktop web installer 89.0.4447.38 working fine, opera updates are disable, by me.

i will test opera desktop 89.0.4447.48 form the FP and form web installer later.

TBH, the second image looks better to me, it's interpolating properly, while the first one has jaggies. Maybe you need to do the screenshot at 125% and then duplicate its size without any interpolation to clearly show how 125% looks like.

Fix with the release of opera v88.

Thanks.
