@hucker I have no problems with Windows taskbar.

You are the happy one then

The only happy one. Below is an example of a Windows 11 taskbar and start menu.

1. The icons are in the middle of the taskbar, what on earth?!
2. What are those icons on the taskbar? So now we have to learn the symbol for every app we install. What was wrong with words written in English?
3. Pinned? Seriously? My start menu automatically puts the apps I use most in a list, most used first.
4. If you've ever used it in that horrid mode without a 3rd party fix, you'll realise the recommended section is never of any use whatsoever. It puts a document in there you opened once and probably won't again. It mixes documents with apps. What a mess.
5. It's full of ads. Windows has now become 99% adware. A paid for OS is supported by ads, not acceptable.
6. Those icons at the bottom, which of them are running apps and which are links to apps? The only change is a little dot below them, not very clear, they've ruined it and made it like Mac OS. Windows 7 perfected the interface and it's been downhill ever since.

Just compare this mess with my simple easy to use one I pasted earlier:

Also, browsers don't seem to be the kind of software designed to have files being opened on them on a regular basis, hence the lack of a open files menu.

Those who really need to open files in a browser know how to do it without needing a specific menu for that.

@hucker Different softwares for different purposes. In a browser such menu is not necessary.

It is necessary, as I said, for opening a local copy of a page. They always used to have it, but as is the way with modern computing, they remove the useful stuff and add pointless gimmicks. The sales department is in charge instead of the programmers. Just look at the mess Windows made of it's perfect start menu and taskbar. Windows 8 onwards and it was destroyed. By default, my Windows 11 start menu contains absolutely zero apps I ever use, and 20 adverts. I had to use a 3rd party fix to put it back to Windows 7 style.

@hucker Nope, it's not. As Opera, Chrome,. edge and 9 out of 10 browsers have been demonstrating in the last decade at least.

Just because they get it wrong doesn't mean you have to. Go check out a word processor, a photo editor, etc. How else do you open a file? It's the most basic operation. What if I wanted to check a local copy of a web page I was creating?

@anawilliam There is no File.

And why not? The most important menu in any program.

@hucker Most probably the demand for such image format is not enough considerable for browsers to support it

Uh.... every single Iphone is producing them. There's a lot of Iphones.

@hucker It's my shadow. Or it was when the picture was taken.

Are you sat down or fat?

P.S. What's in your icon? Is that a shadow of someone taking a photo?

And when does Jpeg XL come out?

Chromium recently decided to drop all work on it, so it's not going to support it.

I'll never remember that, anyway what I was needing it for failed miserably. When I dragged a heic image file into Opera it tried to save it. I tried your CTRL-O and it also tried to save the very file I was opening! Not very useful.

So I guess Opera still doesn't like HEIC files yet, the thing invented in 2017.... 5 years ago! Is it true Apple charge stupid money for copyright on that thing, so virtually no programs use it? And when does Jpeg XL come out? Both are half the size and better quality.
