Like many others here, for the same reason(s) that have been repeatedly listed and consistently ignored, I am moving along. I've been down this road before and as sure there is no coming back from this. Even if (when) the developers are forced to do something due to their rapidly declining user base, it will be a half hearted attempt at kind sorta going back to the way things were with a sloppy mix of the old and new "features". It will never be as good again. Anyway, I have reverted and locked down version 99 but I know this will not last forever. Where is everyone else moving to? I am familiar with Chrome and Edge, but would like to know what other browsers the soon-to-be former Opera users here like, since we likely have similar tastes in browsers. Thanks for and info, and whomever leaves here last don't forget to turn out the lights...

You've deleted my thread about my complain so I'll write it here again.
Contexts doesn't save tabs opened in them, when closing the browsing. It doesn't restore them as windows do.
But, you have had to screw up this too, as of now, opera doesn't close all open windows with tabs at once, but separetely, and it doesn't recover them. You need to do it by one from the history menu -
terminatedprocess last edited by@forestworker90 I never heard of Maxthon. But it's the first browser (yes, I installed it) that has a SPEED DIAL like opera built in. It's also crazy fast! I'll have to check it out.

@leocg I have been using Opera for well over a decade because Opera was the go to browser for those with disabilities and was suggested by a friend. I have severe vision problems and a major change from the style of Opera I have used for 10 years to a complete redesign to Opera One means I now have to relearn all mouse movements and where things are, in other words it will take several months.
It is 3:45 AM and I have been struggling with this thing for the past 5 hours! I have been searching and searching on how to revert this thing to the previous version before tonight's update, but all I can find are people saying to download a previous version without saying how or where, or finding information years old with links to versions from 2013! Unless I can get this resolved soon I will be forced to resume my old life where the internet was shut out for me.

Does anyone know how to get back the 'speed dial' button that was right in front of the web address on every page? I used it all the time and it's gone.

@justanotheruserleaving My attempts at reverting to 99 fail every time. I have even changed the tasks in task manager only to have it update as soon as I connect to the internet again.

I haven't read through all of the feedback above, but I can keep my own statement very brief.
I find this way of simply taking away user interfaces that the user has come to love and familiar with and replacing them with a horribly ugly "new" one, as in the case of One, to be disrespectful and arrogant. In this way, you can very purposefully book market shares in the dustbin.
Just offer a "classic theme" option and everyone would be helped. How did the One Theme actually make it through quality control?!
I'm now switching to another browser and will see in 2 months whether you still don't care about your customers/users. In that case, you only have to uninstall your software.
Unfortunately, that is a pity!
Please reconsider your product strategy.
Best regards
a frustrated and disappointed user -

Hello, I registered here today because I really don't like the new design. So far I've opted for Opera because I really liked the large close buttons on the tabs and you could hardly click past them. Now they are much too small to surf ergonomically. I'm sorry you probably invested a lot of money, but please undo it. I'll switch to Firefox until then. Maybe you can offer both designs in the options.

@bryanf37 The only way how to go back to previous version is this:
- Download desired version but only offline installation will work because online will update Opera to newest version in process of installation.
- Uninstall current Opera version.
- Install the downloaded version of Opera of your choice.
- Dont open Opera yet or if its open itself then close it because it could start autoupdate process soon.
- Locate the installed directory of Opera - it depends of your installation settings most likely something like C:\Program Files\Opera).
- In installed directory of Opera should be folders named with Opera number versions. There could be multiple of them. Now delete all folders that is not desired version of Opera.
- Open folder named of desired version of Opera and locate file named "opera_autoupdate.exe" and rename this file for example like "opera_autoupdate.exe.old" and confirm
- Its all done
You can open the Opera now and no auto update will happended until you rename that opera_autoupdate.exe file back. No matter what Opera say about autoupdate or that it will be updated after start is not true and till the file opera_autoupdate.exe is renamed Opera will not update no matter what you do.

FORESTWORKER90 last edited by@airforce25228 This process brings another misery. If you dont update the opera then the opera logo on top left will turn bright red and will force you update and until you dont update, it will nag you. Another reason why opera forces updates and yet their updates sucks. I got an update and now opera is back to its tricks of crashing and unresponsiveness. Will definitely go back to edge if another update doesnt resolve this.

I've been using Opera for a very long time as my main browser. Was totally happy about it - it was exactly what browser should be. But this morning I restarted the computer and got a bunch of disattached UI elements instead of a comfy browser tool...
It is completely unusable, it steels my limited laptop space and it doesn't allow me to go back to normal UX.
"Thank you" Opera development team for doing that in a middle of an intense project. Now I am forced to go to another browser because I have no time nor wish to search for old version and trying to prevent it from updating. And thank you without quotes for a live example on how to ruin decades long reputation in a matter of minutes.
I hope that you will not save my personal and sensitive information anywhere after me deleting the account.

@forestworker90 Based on your comment here on Maxthon browser, I installed it a few days ago. Today I got a Malwarebytes report stating Pups had been installed in the Brightvpn programs folder plus a registry key. I've un-installed both Brightvpn and Maxthon. It's infected and I don't recommend anyone else use it. I tried going on their forum but it let me sign up and at the last second said could not be permitted to sign up. No idea..
