@gustavomolina I agree. Worked in IT for over 40 years. Ran many roll outs of new products and services. This one is far the worst. I use my speed dial page a lot. My tiles were all solid and large so I could see them. Upgraded and now I have to go into each one to correct their upgrade just to get back what I had before the upgrade. I have used Opera since 1997 as my main browser. No support or even one word about this from the company. They lost me as a user.! Who would think leaving your user with a speed dial page like this is the proper thing to do? speed dial.png

Just adding another person to the "I hate Opera One UI" list...
What really annoys me is that software companies like this believe that they have the right to destroy my user experience to suit their own ends.
If I had the power I would force every software company on the plant to:
- Never auto-update my software
- Provide screenshots of any UI changes
- Provide a roll-back feature button to remove unwanted changes
So entirely sick and tired of some idiot developer with an IQ of less than the number of teeth in his head and the design ability of a fence post having the ability to ruin my user experience.
But it isn't just the designer.
Where is the QC / UAT manager in all of this?
Which fool(s) signed off on this?
Did anyone ask the community?
Did anyone even look at the walking abortion they have created?
...or was it just "code compilies successfully; push to users"?

It's possible I am an outlier here with as many tabs as I normally have open but the new tab bar is a bloody mess to sort through. I cannot select a tab if its playing video or music, other than to mute it not go back to it without having to search it, and the tabs are so bright it makes having night mode on useless. I hope that Opera One will allow users to have more control over the gui appearance and set up. As right now its a bloody mess.!!

Hello I think there is a bug or something I cannot scroll on websites. Also there are some unnecessary gaps and round edges. I cannot change it back anywhere. Please help!

I have to confess that I've come to like the new design by now. I confess, that it's a little different from the old one, but not that much.
I've used Chrome, Edge, Vivaldi, Brave, Safari and Firefox recently - and I don't think there's any of them having a pleasant UI like Opera, except for Vivaldi maybe which you can make look similar to pre-100 design, but not totally.
But of course, that's a matter of taste. Changes of UI always provoke strong reactions as Mozilla has also experienced with their Photon(?) design of last year. Or Apple with Safari on iOS.
Even in Presto-times Opera's design changed with any major version if I remember correctly.
I didn't have any learning curve after upgrading to 100, actually.My only catch with Opera still is its unclear connection to its Chinese investors and how that affects its data privacy. Otherwise I even like its new design for being handy, clutterfree and streamlined especially in contrast to Edge with all its MS-bullsh..t.

Could we at least have the option to fill the whole tab and not have the pointless border around the page? Not only is it ugly with the round corners in my opinion, but the fact that the scroll doesn't work anymore if your cursor is all the way to the left or right is plain annoying.
Also, please return the Speed Dial button to the left of the address bar. -

What's this strange breed of people who've joined this forum only recently only to flood it with their iterations about how awful the new design is? Who has sent them here?

Speaking purely for myself; the people that sent me here are the faceless and unaccountable ones in Opera that think it is just fine to push a product change onto me without any consideration, without offering the ability to preview and reject it, or (at a minimum) the ability to "one click rollback".
There is no conspiracy here. If you are seeing a lot of people joining the forum to complain about the new look of the UI it is, most likely, because it is such a c****** f*** that is has vastly annoyed a large number of usually quiet customers.
Occam's Razor.

I would never have registered here if the new browser wasn't so terrible. if there are already so many, then this should actually have a signal effect that something is going damn wrong... -

@rtg-99999 Agreed, that it is like you said, why not move to another browser then? There‘s free choice.
I appreciate those who are long time users and active members of this forum. But I‘m a bit sceptical of those voices who joined only hours ago only to their disappointment in the name of a self acclaimed silent majority.
I‘m using the new UI without troubles. works like before. May like it or not, but why aren‘t others able to do?
My only issue with Opera is as stated before privacy as they‘re connected to a Chinese consortium. -

@hesminewho I don‘t believe they will do only because of forum entries. It was part of a great marketing campaign. How would they roll back and say: We were totally wrong?
I‘m not saying that I emphatically like the new design. But it‘s like every other thing in the world: it changes.
Feel free to use Chrome or Brave if you like classic design, then. Or Vivaldi, if you like to tweak your settings. Edge in my opinion is totally bloated with its Bing and MS-Stufe in it.
Or just get used to the design changes.Although I like the old design, too, maybe even better, I don‘t expect them to make the regression then.

@himmelsheriff atm i just went back to an older version of opera without all the new issues. thats fine for the moment but i still hope they fix this new mess. or give options to turn things off. i also have brave installed now. have speed dial but no stacking. maybe with a few extension upgrades. i will see if i change complete.

@hesminewho I don‘t think they will do it except users will flee from Opera in a vast number.

@himmelsheriff moving to a new browser isn't exactly easy, I've spent the last 2 days moving all my data on all my computers to new browsers away from opera and it is tiring, I gotta retune my muscle memory, find replacements for features I use frequently, figure out how to copy my settings across and sign back into everything.
I previously stuck with opera for a good 8 years for its stunning UI and then they ship this absolute vomit inducing mess. each update over the last few years has removed something I use or added something terrible enabled by default but the nice UI kept me, now I'm done with it.

@dragonfever01 I see. You’re probably better off investing some time and change to Vivaldi which you can customize in a way that it resembles former Opera with all the features enabled you like.

Ever since the Opera One update, there is a new problem where scrolling is inhibited by the fact that webpages now have this few pixel wide "border" around them that for some reason doesn't count as being "on" the webpage itself. This is incredibly annoying, and I wish it could be fixed.

@scubadogs1742 Yes, it's unfortunate. For now I have made a downgrade to Opera 99.xx.xx and taking precautions so that it does not update.
Meanwhile, preparing the entry of Vivaldi as the main browser. By the way, it would be the "real" Opera. -

@nightmaresoul I had a similar issue and was able to find some resolution looking into the forums after signing up. That is the issue however. A new user to Opera may not know about the forums and cannot view the post until they sign up. There is no prompt to easily solve the issue after downloading the browser. This makes for a very unfriendly user experience and will push folks to other browsers.

The browser update for me was a forced update. Typically I get notified when an update is available, this did not happen. I turned on my laptop and the interface drastically changed. I started using Opera about 2 decades ago because it wasn't mainstream like Google or Microsoft and it was easier to use. Now it seems like it is trying to become a clone to the larger browser options but doesn't provide a good user interface or experience. Edge, Chrome and Firefox have an easier "Help" menu navigation making them more user-friendly. The multitude of tabs I saw on day one was shocking to me, especially since many of them were all tabs I had closed previously over the past week. After finally finding a solution, I was able to work on research projects but now noticed that when I try to move a tab, there is a huge space. Highlighting the tab has it moved over about 10 spaces. Even with "islands" turned off, it still tries to create a tab island. What use is disabling an option if it persists? It is too easy to accidentally close a tab than it is to open or move it due to the tab sizes. I am hoping that the feedback is taken into consideration to better enhance the user experience. Otherwise I would move back over to MS or Chrome and recommend others to due the same. Copying other browser options does not make one unique or welcoming, especially if you don't copy the fixes those options implemented.

I keep using the old version because of this, the result immediately after update:
"like a water color in the rain"
This happened in the past, and it was repaired. Or can anybody tell me whether this is a setting?
And please taske away this welcoming logo, the internet is not a zoo where we come to admire new animals. Most people use their browser as a tool, not as a piece of art.
