I find switching between workspaces very hard on the eyes and things move around up and down and much more screen activity that I find very distracting.

After upgrading it loses the sync and loses the opera account. Every time it says "Sign in" and "Synchronization has encountered a problem".

How do I move the sidebar icons back to top?
Having them at the bottom is really annoying.
I want a quick access to my bookmarks, and not having to move the mouse all the way down every time.

Really wish I had not updated.
The floating tabs take up more space but show less information and look very squished (especially vertically). Please remove the rounded corners and return the usable space. The floating is wasted space. The floating tabs take up more space but show less information and look very squished (especially vertically).

The tab you are currently on has a weird blurry glow that looks bad and is distracting.
The option for large icons on the speed dial is gone, please bring it back. These small icons are harder to read and differentiate.
The UI does not look nearly as professional and nice as the previous version. I usually like updates but this is a serious downgrade. There is no way this UI was ready for release; it was clearly rushed out the door. Sadly this is probably going to push me to try Vivaldi.

Not bad at all, but I don't see the point of this blocky design. If the location of the blocks cannot be changed, then this is purely visual overload.
On a large monitor it looks acceptable. On a laptop it's terrible.
Aria AI is great. The sidebar is now more organized. -

From the post:
Our new Modular Design is our roadmap to building a browser that molds itself to your needs. Opera One focuses on bringing key features forward and adjusting them based on your context, delivering a fluid and easy browsing experience.
I think that in the future it will be possible to change the position of the "modules".

The redesign in Opera One looks good but needs major work to improve its UX.
Biggest issue: the border around the webpage - worst UI decision I've ever seen in a desktop browser
I'm using a very standard setup (one 24 inch 1080p screen) and there's a 4px border around the web page. That means 8px of screen real estate wasted horizontally and 8px vertically. With a maximized window, the loss of space is noticeable compared to all other browsers and the screen feels smaller for no good reason. When the browser window is not maximized (ie. smaller window), it's even more obvious. And when you have multiple browser windows visible on your screen or pop ups open those borders are everywhere. The new rounded corners steal even more screen space.
Scrollbar usability killed
This has been mentioned by many other people, you can't reach the scrollbar anymore by dragging your mouse cursor to the right of the screen and just clicking. Also, the rounded corners cover part of the up/down buttons making it harder to click on them.
Then there are many minor issues. Here are some:
No hamburger icon in the standard location (rightmost position of the navigation bar)
There's a reason all other browsers have the hamburger icon there, it's an easy location to find visually and reach with the mouse. Opera 100 puts an icon here that most people won't find useful (extensions).
When lots of tabs are open (using the full width of the tab area), the active one gets resized
Again something that looks good but affects usability when you're switching between tabs with the mouse. All other modern browsers don't have this issue.
Big gap (8px in my screen) above the tabs
In Opera One, when you have a maximized window you can drag the mouse pointer to the very top of the screen and click on a tab (which is good). However the gap is so large that it's not intuitive to assume that a click on the gap will trigger a click on the corresponding tab.
Other browsers deal with this by making the tabs reach the top of the screen or they use a tiny margin, certainly not 8px.

Hello,
I update opera stable to this version (via the browser) yesterday. Relaunched, update installed, all works fine.
Today I start opera : all my opened tabs in all sessions are gone. Is this linked to the update ? Is there a way to get them back ? -

Linux: No native possibility to set the UI language in the settings. Why? Every other browser can do that on Linux...
Linux: Opera does not remember the window size and position after restart.Please first fix the bugs, then tinker on the UI design.

@frederikathias Hi. Thanks for the feedback. Sorry to hear that your tabs have gone. Can you share more details? Windows or Mac or Linux?
