      Opera updates and then reinstates the splash screen plus sound effect to subsequently delete my hearing. How do I prevent it from punishing me this way?

        @kash4748274 The splash screen, and its sound, should show up only when there is a major version update.

            @kash4748274 Not on every update, just on major ones, like form version 109 to 110, for example.

              That splash screen is the reason I'm going to deinstall Opera. It's super annoying, pointless, you get the feeling that loading is longer because it first has to load that thing and it scares me every time the sound plays when you're really not expecting any sound from anywhere. It adds to the feeling that Opera is filled with tons and tons of features that you might not need. Yeah, it's really this little that just drives me crazy.

                @mwg555 The sound was removed recently, at least on Opera Developer.
