What we have here is yet another example of sloppiness, lack of transparency, and lack of regression testing.

Opera didn't used to be like this, only since they recently "reinvented" it. I have come to dread every new update.

Because of this, I have abandoned Opera as my default browser for business, though I still like it for recreational purposes. But the new annoyances keep accumulating.

This keeps happening to me, this annoying sound keeps popping up every time I open opera.

I'm writting about this "o" appearing, when I'm opening classical opera. How to turn it off? Where's the right button?

Hi, since the last Update this splash screen starts everytime. Even if the browser is already open an you simply try to open a .html file from Windows Explorer.

I'v resolved this by renaming the file opera_gx_splash.exe in the Opera folder. Now i can use the browser without this useless splash screen.

@leocg
the splash screen was driving me mad but have found a way around it
go into program files search for opera inside find the launcher .exe
save to desktop as a short cut use it to the open browser and there will be no more annoying noisy splash screen

Hi,

I recently installed Opera everything works perfectly.

There is one issue though, whenever I close it and I open a new Tab a music and the Opera logo appears, it's really annoying I tried looking through the settings but coudn't find anything .. Does anyone have the same issue ?

You can disable this sound in Opera one but it is not that straight forward and might be undone with an update but I am not sure if it will.
Follow these steps:

• Press the windows key
• Search Opera and right click
• Open the file directory, do this twice to go to the Opera files
• While being in this folder search for: splash
• Delete or move the following file to another folder: opera_gx_splash

Good luck, hope this also works for you guys!

Hello! Each time I start Opera the welcome window (10x10 сm) with the very loud sound pops up. Only after it the browser opens. Please, help to disable or turn off. I didn't face such problem until today, earlier this window appeared only when I first installed, now on every launch. The settings don't help, I chose "previous page", but the program doesn't obey.
Opera One(version: 102.0.4880.33)

How do I stop the Opera pop up, with the music, colored O and black background every time I open Opera.

How to disable this 10-second splash screen? Any steps to follow that will work other than switching to Firefox?

ShoDaN-ShoDaN, thank you! Unbelievable! I deleted the file: opera_gx_splash - and the problem, that tortured me yesterday, disappeared in part! But it seems, Opera still loads slower. Dear developers, correct this bug finally!

@bantubob thank you so much for this, it was so irritating to wait 5 seconds and hear a splash sound everytime i opened the browser, seriously what were they thinking.

Every time I close opera and want click on it to re-open, it apparently has shut off completely and relaunches the whole program everytime. So everytime I click on the opera logo to reopen it gives me that short intro with the sound. This happens on my laptop only, never on my pc. Could it be a powersaving method of my laptop or is there setting inside opera I need to change.

Actually I just updated Opera and now the splash screen is gone. So if you experience the same issue, I would recommend you do a manual update and open Opera two times (the splash screen always comes up one time after an update).

Renamed the gx file, splash gone. Now with every update I will need to do it again? This is just idiotic to push this. If it annoys me too much I will retreat to Fox.
Over and out.
