canadagoose4everreturns last edited by@forestworker90 Chrome track you and sell your information to third parties that develop profiles, thereby threatening your privacy. It may seem a little thing but those profiles in the hands of certain officials could end up harming your way of life in ways you don't foresee. Privacy (as well as security) is a funny thing: once it is lost, it cannot be restored.

@forestworker90 I know about those OS features, but is Opera or any other company allowed to use them? For free?

Talking about vertical tabs, Opera was the first with them back in 2009.
Yes, I used them so I want them again. In 2009, I was in school so I couldnt find it useful as I didnt used net as much as of now. But now with so many tabs open like over 150, I needs vertical tabs. Removing them was a big no-no move.
For rest, can you link me to press releases or your company's own post so that I can check who was first and second?
I am not asking too much but simple things but your team is not giving any heed since 2018.
I really dont want to leave opera but currently it is not that same. It has become very rudimentary and not upgrading to current times.
I know you added AI but it doesnt work without account. I dont rely much on that not anybody will be using it that much (you team has usage stats so you can see) but basic what comes out of the box.

And let's not forget that Opera spent more than twenty years being the first to introduce various of the features that are now common in browsers
Tell someone who is new to opera. I am using it like from my Nokia devices. I still have a java file copy stored somewhere (need to find that out). Ah, memories.

@canadagoose4everreturns If I go by your words, then I should be living in forest and be a reclusive guy.
Anyways, Opera isnt clean and I would say you funds them and who owns and who controls them. You can check yourself from a simple search online to youtube to Wikipedia.
Plus both chrome and opera are based on same engine so it doesnt matter much since opera one way or the other and google one way or the other collects data and tells their chrome team the usage stats and other info.
I have never seen Opera recommended by privacy concerned people and I dont want them and I wont be leaving opera for being anti privacy. I just love opera and want it to grow but it is going its own way and doing what they feel like (like changing bookmark ordering and not providing any option for users who use old way). I cant even stop autoplay with sound and video for youtube in opera which i really wanted but.

Aria
Video pop-out
AI Tools in sidebar
AI Tools in highlighted text
Lucid ModeApart from video popup-out (which again was introduced by chrome by the name of picture-in-picture mode, see screenshots)
Lucid mode - I did used it. Was good but occasionally but not anymore. It needs serious improvements.
AI Stuff is gimmicky and started after chat gpt and bing purchase and integration scheme. Plus I cant be working with someone who is going to take away my job in upcoming years (and it has started somewhere now).

@leocg Yes, android is open source. Others are using it. Since I am not into that technical aspect, your team needs to look into this. But it is possible. Why dont you check those apps and see what I am saying?

@forestworker90 We are talking about desktops here. In Opera for Android you can select a text and ask for it to be read in loud voice.

@forestworker90 And I'm using since there isn't even a mobile version.
Opera used to fit in a floppy disk when I started using it.

@leocg Today opera is surviving because and only on chromium engine so if chrome stops providing updates or features, then I dont know what will to other chromium browsers. I asked brave and vivaldi same question. Brave said we have a team and growing to make it different and trying to be standalone. For vivaldi, I have got no answers but constant forms with questions of which browser will you use if vivaldi closes down. I said Opera. But then you arent giving me hope. Give me dope, instead.

@leocg I havent talked about this bug or feature.
The visibility of the scrolling bar is gone for good. This is same in chrome, brave, edge and vivaldi and now in opera. I dont see anything different here.
Do you see scrolling bar or not? I cant.
Make a better scroll bar.

@forestworker90 Totally off-topic here, but just highlight a text and in the pop-up that shows up click on the three dots. The option is there.
