      The old one was fun and enjoyable; I don't know who's idea it was to put this annoying garbage in a browser. It's a browser not clown_show.exe

      Or is it the usual change for the sake of change nonsense tech companies get hard on?

              @samx-7 make sure to see hidden folders is selected in windows explorer then Local disc:(letter)>Users(Name)>AppData>Local>Programs>Opera GX search Splash.exe and delete any it finds, you will have to close your Opera browser before deleting

                      @samx-7 watch out for the fact that you might have multiple versions on that location; and look for the newest because that is the only one that counts. (or you can delete all files with that name)

                        Unusual question, but is there a way to enable older splash screen back? I tried to copy a file from older patches, but it enables screaming guy, slashing sound and weird ass emoji. I like the usual splash screen and its sound to be fair, so im looking for a way to get them back

                          Thank you so much, I was about to change my browser because of this shit. WTF is wrong with their marketing team, are they really that dumb? If it just played once it could be dismissed, but every single forking time? What the hell is so appealing about a strange dude screaming while making retarded faces? I barely knew the guy, but after this I doubt he's funny...

                              this should not be a thing its a terrible shitty feature i dont need some fuckwit screaming at me when i open my browser whoever thought this was a good idea should be fired... out of a cannon

                              there should not be discussions for workarounds because it should not be here to start with
                              i finally made the switch from chrome and im really considering switching back with this shit because dont care how many youtubers reccomend this shit

                                    @memeem It has been fixed now, about 20 hours later, which is pretty good, because there is a collective process behind updates.

                                    Mistakes were made for sure. Many Humans work on this ; it happens.

                                      Well, this is annoying af.

                                      There is a video on how to remove this in case someone is wondering.

                                        @baraz-gamer "Mistakes were made" nah man whatever team thought of this should be fired and whoever agreed on this to be released should never touch a computer in his/her life . this was the DUMBEST idea a human thought of doing to a browser that used by a lot of people in different of professions.
                                        the sad thing is even if you disable it it will still play and annoy the fk out of you .
                                        imagen you're in the middle of work and you had to search for something this fker comes and scream at you WTF how did this even got out of the idea box ? is this one of those every idea is a good idea ? cuz trust me a lot of people stopped using your shitty browser cuz of that stunt .

                                          Yep, apart from the usual crashes and freezes that presents itself with every update of Opera GX (like clockwork), your added Eric Andre splash intro is annoying as fuck.

                                          Like many have suggested here, I also deleted the startup exe from the install folder to be rid of that screaming dickhead.

                                          Why OPERA devs? If your intention was to have all your supporters jump ship to another browser simply because you think this stupid prank was funny then you probably succeeded.

                                          Dumb ass move.

                                            It's back to the normal splash screen but it still can't be disabled in settings, I have it set to not show the splash screen and it's still doing it every time. So it's either delete the .exe repeatedly or move on, maybe to regular Opera.
