My Opera has been 'upgraded' to Opera One.

I nearly spat out my coffee when opening up my browser, and that loud, obnoxious sound came out of nowhere.
...who thought that was a good idea?

I'm 100% with you on this. The stupid thing plays every time I launch Opera now. This update appears to be a mess and is already making me consider moving to another browser.

@leocg Those updates are very frequent (which is good thing). But having this sound played in the middle of the night don't make anyone happy. Also in normal circumstances this sound annoys not excite. Right after install it's probably fine but once a week is silly.

There is no way to disable the window that appears after every update. Scrolled through all the menus, there is not even a section related to updates.
Opera One(version: 100.0.4815.76)

@krmorton Agreed!! I use one of my computers for sound editing and the volume is pretty high for dynamic range and a subwoofer. This was a stupid idea. I found an old post about disabling the splash screen but the option doesn't seem to be on this version of the browser.

At every start Opera One shows splash screen with sound.

Option to disable splash screen at start is necessary.

@linast Agreed, a browser should not have a splash screen. I want it up and running ASAP.

Opera GX has setting "Splash screen on startup" which can be disabled. In Opera One no such setting...

They even added a sound to the splash screen, making it even more annoying. Opera, please remove this ASAP. A browser is a tool, not a toy.

@linast 1000% WTH were they thinking... a useless splashscreen is bad enough, but they added annoying sound to that!
I was so taken aback when I first hear/saw it. I want a browser to start as fast and as Silently as possible.

@leocg It must update all the time then as every time I start Opera it plays the sound and I have to use Opera on this laptop unless I go through IT to have it replaced which is just slightly more annoying than the Splash. I'm trying the splash.exe deletion in hoes it doesn't reload with every update. That will be the final straw for me as that's sadistic on Opera's behalf.

@trifon81 Easy setup -> Features -> Splash screen on startup (off).

I didn't find a splash screen option.

@trifon81 What sound? I only see the splash screen and hear its sound after an update.

The very annoying Opera GX sound. Maybe unifying the browser was a mistake. I don't need the sound from a gaming browser in my office environment.

@trifon81 It's not possible to disable it after an update.

What a pain.
