Opera unveils Opera One, an entirely redesigned browser

@generosus it seems they deleted my reply. So I'm removing the reason for controversy in my previous reply...
Try out Yandex Browser. It is a Russian fork from Chromium Opera. They made most features of Opera much better and I wish Opera to actually take a look into it as well.
- Sidebar custom pages aren't hidden under a flag
- Sidebar has unlimited custom pages instead of the 5 limit of Opera
- Sidebar custom pages can be opened as a separate window and be pinned on the taskbar and be used just as if it were a desktop app. Very useful for e-mail, WhatsApp, Telegram, Spotify, etc. These windows won't count to the saved tabs when closing the browser.
- Tab bar can be moved to the bottom
- Video popup can pause by clicking anywhere
- Video popup can go full-screen (useful when embedded videos can't be full screen)
- Smoother tab integration when moving between windows and not the struggle it is in Opera to move one tab from one window and put it on another already opened window for instance
- If you have more than one tab selected, you can detach all of them together to a new window
I'm moving back to Opera after a long time for reasons I would not like to discuss here, but I think Yandex Browser is a very good browser overall (I left Opera back when the original Opera was discontinued and started using Firefox. I tried the new Opera for a while, but it was basically just another Chromium. Then I found Yandex and have been using it for almost 10 years now. It's just better in almost every way)

@nuiin hey, check out what I've just found by chance
https://github.com/OtterBrowser/otter-browser
This is supposed to be a modern browser that has same features as the original Opera. I didn't try it out, but seems like a cool idea

Screenshots are x6, from Linux Mint, including the top of its dark theme panel (i.e. taskbar).

@thelittlebrowserthatcould Thx.
But if 'Autohide' is selected in EasySetup, then it'll look like 3 vertical lines (black-dark blue-black)? -

@andrew84 to clarify, my enlarged screenshots are with the sidebar activated. When it's hidden, the leftmost (in fact, all-round) border remains. With the dark theme and a black screen bevel, the left border is hardly noticeable, though the sidebar when activated is noticeably wider.

thatoneunoriginal last edited byBeen daily driving Opera One throughout the past few days and apart from some minor issues it's been pretty amazing so far. The user interface is a fresh look compared to what I'm used to. Tab islands are cool but it would be cool to give them names (I wouldn't be able to remember what content I have in a tab island by just remembering its colour alone.)

Don't mean to burst your bubble, but we'll never use Yandex. In fact, we have blocked them from accessing our assets, etc. due to their seach engine's malicious queries and data collection practices.
Cheers!

@vladbabinets When it's ready? I would guess next week if I had to choose, but this week still have two more working days.

@generosus that's one of the reasons I'm leaving it (and the reasons it does that is probably what caused the deletion of my previous message and its replies). Still, it's functionally well designed.

With tab scrolling not working I was able to get 500 tabs imported and divided between 15 workspaces by using The Marvellous Suspender extension's session export/import, which is a simple textfile that can be cut down into separate files of, say, 50 URLs each. The separate files are, one at a time, imported using The Marvellous Suspender, with the open and load option, each time saving all tabs as a speed dial folder, deleting the tabs, and repeating with the next file of URLs to import. When that was done, each speed dial folder was in turn opened and the tabs moved to their appropriate workspaces, and suspended. I also chose to unsuspend all tabs in each workspace (which provided the opportunity to use an extension to delete duplicate tabs) in turn and save the workspaces as speed dial folders.
I must say, I hope there will be an option to turn off the "slot machine" animation when changing to a different workspace. I don't often use Easy Setup so hadn't noticed the option to force a dark theme on pages. I've been using extensions or user scripts, which allow me to reduce the contrast to something more preferable to me than Opera's own (only) option.
Also affecting the current stable version, there's no paste option when right-clicking in the start page search box.

Copy and paste option in the start page search box is missing for some time now.
Maybe it was removed on purpose. They should bring it back. -

@dnzrzx34: and yet the Crl+V keyboard shortcut works -- poor quality control rather than an actual (and pointless) decision.
