And now Opera 99, which I forced to stop updating to 101, is showing the menu in bright red to annoy me about an update it insists on. This is as bad as Windows Updates.

@hucker I just got done switching everything over to Opera GX. It still mostly uses the same layout as Opera 99 and prior did, though I did have to switch off some extra settings. Maybe this would help?

@ultima-atulos-maxim Sounds like more hassle. I'm sticking with 99 until such time as they fix the interface to stop it looking like a Mac.

@hucker Start the browser with the "--disable-update" parameter so the red update "button" wont show up.

Thanks, although that doesn't work when it's started from a link in say an email program. I guess I can change it in Windows somewhere, but it's not as easy as it used to be where you could put the parameters on the end for file types. Now they've made it all childish and you just get applications in a list.

Opera used to be a tidy browser, more tidy than Edge/Chrome ... now, with new look, make the "performance" to look worse than Edge, the top zone (tabs + address bar) is thicker than Edge ....
You ruine Opera browser piece by piece !

The tabs should be connected to the page..not over a valley and thru the woods to get to the other tab.
It,s so messy when you are going from Tab to Tab that you have to look over 2 rows of buttons and bookmarks..to switch tabs. It's visually messy and slows the user down. What jerk programmer thinks that is efficient or looks good?Please allow the user to design their toolbars. I dont know why all these browser would put the tabs at the top? The content of the tab should be connected to the pages...which is on the bottom part of the browser.
Also,, having your bookmarks (or the option to) wrap so that you have access to a second or third row.
This way I can see all my bookmarks on 3 rows.

There are just too many things that changed simultaneously. At least there should exist Opera One theme that looks exactly as the version of previous version.

I think the new modular design creates a lot of visual clutter and, for people who have a hard time focusing and being organized, it can really be an impediment.
I don't think the messenger apps need a square around them, nor do I think the search bar and the bookmarks bar need to be separate.
I think opera could benefit from a design similar to Sidekick. Opera has, definitely better features, but a simple design goes a long way. -

Hello,
So it's been a couple weeks since Opera had a big UI update, and now there's a 4 pixel thick border around the content inside the window being extremely annoying. I'd like to know how to get rid of it and from what I've been finding online, it doesn't seem to be possible? It feels like the Opera team is trying to make their browser worse on purpose somehow? I don't get who in their right mind thought this would be a good idea. To clarify, this is what I'm talking about (it even hides part of the scrollbar, just why...):
Also, it's not possible to close the window anymore by dragging your mouse to the top right corner of your screen because there's another annoying extra border on top of the window for whatever reason:
That's practically a default design by Microsoft since they released their OS, and to suddenly change a behavior like that for a border is beyond me... There's a reason Microsoft designed windows that way: it's practical.Similarly, you can no longer resize the windows from the top border:
That's yet again another Windows feature that's been removed because of this border. This whole new UI is absurd and really frustrating for a user like me. Please conform yourselves with the other Windows applications and stop trying to reinvent the wheel.
I could probably fix all those issues with a custom UI, but I'd rather complain here a bit in hopes you guys fix those problems and future users won't have to suffer or drop the browser entirely for something so silly.
Thank you and please have a nice day.

I mean Chinese cheap bad thing. Look how Opera "One" has everything rounded ... its not tidy nor nice. Like a Chinese cheap not reliable thing.

@flaviu2 I see. You are referring to Opera as something that's low quality, like a Chinese knock off product.
It's not that bad, honestly. Their mistake was to do the rebranding on version 100. They wanted to have a nice round version number to make it memorable and that meant they were pressed by time, delivering a product that wasn't well tested yet.
Nobody remembers without checking out when was the change to using a fork from Chromium, if version 12, 13 or 14, but everyone will easily remember version 100 as when they rebranded the browser to Opera One, which is honestly irrelevant.
I for one don't mind the redesign. I noticed Edge and Chrome did the same with the rounded edges recently. During versions 101 and 102, I stopped using Opera due to the sheer amount of bugs, but 103 is bearable and I'm back using it.
The one redesign I don't like is Speed Dial. The tiles got smaller since v100 and since v103 the tiles bounce a couple times before actually triggering the click. Now, that is annoying.

Would you rather have one window for each page like it used to be in the 90's?
No, just to connect (visual) the active tab with address bar.
P.S. Was an irony? -
