@burnout426 If it becomes the standard like jpeg, Opera will have to support it, or it won't display any single webpage.

@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?

The "Open" option can be found under the "File" menu and is used to open a new webpage or file in the browser.

@anawilliam There is no File.
And why not? The most important menu in any program.

@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?

@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.

@leocg Not everyone does things the same way. Yes, I can open an html by double clicking it in the folder. But if the browser happens to be in front of me, I need the menu. There should always be more than one way to skin a cat. Again, every other type of program makes use of it. Why don't you say the same to them? Why haven't Microsoft removed it from Word?

@hucker If that kind of menu were really necessary in a browser, it would have been returned already. The fact that those menus have been gone for a decade or more shows that the demand for them is not that high.
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.

@leocg What is designed into things and what people want are not the same. Just look at how many people hate the new taskbar and start menu in Windows. Everyone's using 3rd party stuff like Startallback. Look at mine, notice running programs on the taskbar with text, not just a little icon nobody can recognise. Notice no shortcuts on there mixed up with the running programs. Notice the most recently used programs in the start menu easy and quick to access. How it used to be and how it should be. Look at a Windows 11 machine out of the box. The start menu and taskbar totally unusable.
