Web page content's border and new modular design.

Agree. Trying to make Opera "prettier" is not making it better, rather more cumbersome to navigate and use. The modular design is distracting, it's removing useful working space, and serves no useful purpose at this point.

Let's be honest, the new design is crap. So much crap that I installed Opera GX for the first time. I'm even thinking about switching to Chrome.

I do not agree. Looks like a Chinese cheap thing, all things rounded, the view not stretched along the screen (from left to right), spaces between tabs / address bar / view, spaces between tabs and context menu, if you don't move fast, you lose the menu ... suddenly, everything become annoying.Pity, it was a good browser. It is ruined.

Very good observation! They tried to make the browser prettier, and the outcome is that suddenly, it's hard to use it, especially for business purpose.So, if you want to use Opera browser to watch cartoon, yes, could be fine, but for daily work, it is distracting and annoying.

Yes, the design is matter of choice, I agree, but to see if this new design is better or not, please check the functionality and you will see. There are more drawbacks for this new design, and I will mention just one of it:The working view is not stretched from left to right side of the display, and because of that if you have the mouse pointer in that dead and useless (and ugly) space, you will scroll in vain.
So, it is better design ? Take the conclusion for yourself.
P.S. Do you thing that much space between tabs and address bar is looking good ? It looks like they are different windows ... ugly !

Missing the old solid design. They should have focused more on the performance rather than silly designs. They removed start page. I dont understand the reason behind such design. Opera should allow customizable design. Otherwise more users will leave opera

one simple rule: do something new, do it and the ability to turn it off! I hate the white frame. the cursor gets on it and the scrolling does not work and it looks cheap and out of place

Yes, I agree, better to have a performant browser than a fancy one and inefficient !

I am really not liking the new border. It is quite distracting and provides no value. Really feels like a step backwards.
If the devs really like it and want to keep that that's fine, just give us a way to turn it off.

@leocg Can I ask you which design do you like more?
Whatever the latest version is.
He likes this one now, and if it reverts back to being all squared, he will think that is the very best.
He has no opinions of his own.

There are other issues, but just removing this border around the main content would make me way happier with this browser. It looks so damn bad specially in darker pages.

I noticed here that in the latest developer build the left and right border is thinner if the sidebar is hidden but 'autohide' mode is active in EasySetup.
Bottom's border is still bold.If I turn the sidebar off completely, then only the right's border is thinner.
Conclusion: if the border can be thin and almost invisible, it should be simply removed.
