Hesminewho last edited byi would advise to rethink the whole design. most of it has already been said. annoying sidebar and the edge gap of the screen are the worst. at this point i recommend to go back to an older version of opera.
funfact: in germany we would call this "verschlimmbessern" (improve for the worse)

@vegelund Hmm, you mean grabbing the scrollbar is not possible at all, or only if the cursor is "touching" the edge of the screen all the way?
The latter. Very relevant for people who use laptops and one screen.

on my pc i did clean install... it was awful, default fonts worked incorrect, making all text be it in ui or webpages unbearable to look, so i switched back to edge

I just created that account just because the new design is so terrible. Seriously, if you want me to change to another browser, just tell me instead of hitting me in the face with this abomination. I can only repeat what has been said by others.
Speed dial is way too small now. Too much space between address bar and view, and between tabs and address, and so on. Even maximized the browser acts like a smaller window, making it impossible to scroll if you move the mouse to the edge on the left or right side. The rounded view makes no sense, is just ugly and creates too much empty unused space on a monitor. That eye raping purple color for highlighting. Moving the icons on the side bar to the bottom is stupid, my mouse movements are usually in the upper half of the monitor.

Could you please make it possible to change the highlight color? I can't stand purple, it hurts my eyes!

There's far too much wrong with Opera One compared to previous versions for me to list them all. The main ones that are forcing me to stop using Opera are the ugly-as-sin white border, the scroll limitations, and the speed dial icons.
If I was on the team developing Opera versions I'd make it more customizable. It may take up more space on the drive but oh well. From games to business programs, people accept a little extra program size if it means the experience is more enjoyable. Just look at games like Diablo, World of Warcraft, CoD, etc.
I will keep Opera on my PC for a couple months to see if things get fixed. But for now I'm going to have to use MS Edge or Firefox. MS Edge is total garbage but it is better than this new Opera One.

All the rounded corners are disgusting. Speed dial tiles are almost circles but not quite, horrible. Colors are weird. I don't understand what this bright dot on tab bar is supposed to be, it's annoying. And so on...
All this plus not blocking youtube ads any more is just not acceptable. Went back to version 95 and disabled the updates. This took 2 tries as Opera really wants to update itself.

This was one of the best browsers. But since months it get even more worse. Down the hill!
Who has had this Design idea? This person should be fired.Why is all so blue-ish/purple?
Why has every field rounded corners?
Why are everywhere such spaces between the fields?
Why are the speed-dial boxes so small?
Why its called Opera One?Why you cant let the browser as it was? Why you change every month the whole look of this browser? Why why why???
There are so many thing under the hood you can change and polish/make it better instead of this you change again the whole design...
Now its time to get to another browser. Opera was my favorite but now its time for the trash with him.

I have been an Opera user since it was shareware, with ads, I have been through all versions and it has always been my main browser. I can understand a facelift, a redesign to make it "modern," showing modularity but where's the customization, making the browser for each user if I can't change a single highlight color?

Why is there a gap on the right at the tab bar? The speed dial is broken now, no images. If you don't give me the option to get the old appearence i'm uninstalling this awful looking browser.

This is a complete fiasco.
Firstly, after the update, I saw a welcome window with music, I was freaking out of surprise, why the hell is the browser yelling with a welcome sound?
Secondly, the appearance is disgusting. Starting with rounded corners in the interface of the browser itself, ending with rounded corners on site pages. Why else is this?
While other programs and browsers strive for minimalism, customizability and a simpler interface - Opera introduces Opera One with tab animations, an inappropriate purple color accent, a broken Speed Dial (no pictures), a grouping of tabs that I did not ask for and which is not can not be turned off and just terrible appearance. Shadows under the tabs, seriously? Are we in 2010? I loved Opera and have been using it since 2007, survived its transition to Chromium, but what is happening with it now is very disappointing.

After update fonts for me started to work correctly, now feel much better. I'll keep it on my PC for now and see how you'll repair all bugs/redesign bad moments.

Let me exemplify you when your design can annoying and force users to leave this brower.
Suppose you scroll a long page. And accidentally put the mouse in most left side (or right). Suddenly, the scroll, doesn't work. Why ? Because you didn't stretch the view from left to right side of the display. Why ????
This is annoying me so much that i'm considering to stop using Opera. Seriously, why do this? I'm wondering if the developers actually test the software after updating it, i can't believe that such thing passed.

it is absolutely disgusting, seriously this rounded edges garbage is the worst trend of all time. I can not continue using this browser. it has gone from visually stunning to gag inducing. words cannot describe how stupid and horrible it is.

Opera has been my main browser for many years, because of it's flexibility and security. But I will likely have to abandon ship, because of the tiny, low-res fonts and the sacrifice of visible content in favor of vast empty space (Ex: Speed Dial, which is now almost useless). Opera has been steadily losing customization (why, oh, why must the tabs be far away in the top bar? and the sidebar change is just plain dumb) and basic security features (a big, splashy re-vamp, and we still can't dump all data on exit?!). Now that I can't even see what I'm looking for, I am being driven away. I am so disappointed. Opera One should not have been released with such obvious issues, and with so many visible flaws, I worry about the basic functionality/security of the browser. Please restore my confidence in Opera by fixing these major mistakes.

An addition to my previous gripes: it is stupidly difficult to close a tab, rather than opening a new one. This also is just such poor design there is no excuse for it. It's worth noting that most of the appearance issues folks are raising involve greatly reduced visibility functionality - as if the designers are all 17-yr-olds with perfect vision, and arrogant about it.

But look at how the grey round border enhances the user experience.
Maybe we could color it purple – that would make the browser even better.

There are a couple of sayings or proverbs that come to mind with this: "common sense is the least common of the senses", and obviously in this matter it was not applied, and the other one that comes to mind is : "If it is not broke, do not fix it". The latter is practically a maxim of good quality computing.
I have been using Opera since it was an Internet suite, practically since the dawn of this browser. In my opinion, its best time was when it was an Internet suite, but unfortunately Opera Software in many aspects tends to resemble what Google is today, in its time the browser was loaded with many functions, as well as services that orbited around it. he who made it second to none. Little by little, but quickly, they were destroying many of those good features and services.
When they made the leap, that is, they left behind the Internet suite concept, for a while I used other browsers. Then I decided to give them another chance, and they barely managed to convince me again (nostalgia). The Vivaldi browser has been knocking on my door for a long time, I was just waiting for a couple of things to improve to change Opera for the latter, but given this drastic change, which visually I don't like at all and is totally uncomfortable (disastrous visual ergonomics ), I think I will definitely open the door for Vivaldi.
