And in this "new" design, everything is crooked:

@flaviu2 sorry, what Chinese thing?

I legit don't know what you want to show in that screen shot. If it's the misplacement of the Opera menu header, you clearly have an update there. Maybe update the browser before reporting a bug. That one was also already fixed

Yes, you were right, I had an older version. The updated version is better, and, if they make it thinner the tabs+address bar area, this browser will not look bad. But I doubt they will listen to us.

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.

I agree with few things you said. And another one: its confusing to have address bar splitted so much by tabs, I cannot associate the view with tab. But I don't think they will do something about it.

@flaviu2 what do you mean? 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?

@flaviu2 it wasn't irony. I still don't understand what you mean. The selected tab is clearly the one showing the page up

Unless you are colour blind, which would explain you not seeing the highlight. Version 104 made the highlight too dim

@darthgtb maybe he means that tabs are like 'islands' or buttons now. Previously an active tab was like a part of the address bar.

*I'd also prefer the previous style

[DarthGTB]

DarthGTB @andrew84 last edited by DarthGTB

@andrew84 Ah, I see

Maybe it could be possible with the islands. Like, make the whole island also connect like that, but with a different colour and the selected tab with the same colour. If it's not the selected island, let the island look like they do now, floating

I agree, that could make it more visually pleasing.

@darthgtb I don't think that smth. will be changed regarding this style.

I don't understand why there should be so big gapes above and below the tabs. Tab's height should equal tab island's height. And inside tab island the tab can be slimmer. https://forums.opera.com/post/323532

I don't understand why I have to suffer even if I don't use tab islands at all.

@andrew84 Tabs shouldn't float, they should be attached. Go back to Opera 99 style. Get rid of the new age crap.

@hucker don't actually do that though. It's preferable you switch to another browser instead

Problems with window size and website scrolling. The developers did not make the Opera window full screen and now we have that the page scroll column (1 pic)on the side has a couple of pixels. Therefore, now, when we try to quickly move the mouse cursor to the side and drag the slider down, we pull the Opera window itself and drag it across the entire desktop. Bravo.
And the second rounding of the page working area, are you serious(2 pic)? On some sites this garbage is killing books/numbers. I wonder if the development department that sits there is managed by a VERY effective manager?

@darthgtb Why? I like Opera the way it was. The illegal MS style forced updates have been thwarted.

I have been forced to update to the new Opera, and the new interface is unbearable, a lot of wasted space, on my small laptop it is unbearably uncomfortable, poorly implemented styles in some menus, and a long etcetera. Quick Access... For God's sake! What a fright...
Much to my regret, I have my world set up in Opera, but if they don't fix this visual disaster, I will necessarily have to migrate to another browser. It will be painful, but more painful is having to endure this disastrous design.
Question: Was it developed by interns?

@gustavomolina Yes interns were involved. They escaped from a looney bin and were hired by Opera's equally looney management. In truth, Opera is now owned by the Chinese. Go figure.

@hucker due to security. It's better you switch to another browser than stick to an outdated one.

@gustavomolina if you have a 1080p screen on your laptop, it may be set to 125% screen in the settings. I have a 14'' 1080p display on my work laptop. To counter the issue of interface taking up too much space (in all software), what I did was to change the display settings to 100% and using zoom in the browser for making the content still have a good size, while the interface taking less space

I agree with you though. They should offer a compact design option without these margin shenanigans
