At some of the latest updates there was added a new thing: when you select "Copy URL" in the context menu of the any URL on page these is a blue popup on the top of the screen saying that link is copied.

This is annoyning. Who the hell designed it? When user presses "copy" button user expects it to copy only, not to copy and anything else. How drastically retarded you have to be if you need to see confirmation on that easy things?

The main questing is: how to disable this popup?

@zhenyahacker There is no way to disable it as far as I know.

This feature comes from Chromium that Opera inherited. It's called a "toast" notification.

In Chrome, if you goto the URL chrome://flags and search for "toast", you'll see a few flags you can disable like the "Top Chrome Toasts" flag that are supposed to (didn't check) disable this annoyance.

If you do the same in Opera, you'll see "Top Opera Toasts". In my case though at least, it's already disabled. So, Opera might not honor the flag yet. Or, maybe you have to enable it, restart Opera, disable it and restart Opera again to get Opera to honor it. Then, again, it might not help in Opera no matter what you do at the moment.

Enable toast, restart Opera, disable it, restart - seems remove that real nasty annoyance. Dev version here, may not work in stable.

@burnout426 huge thank you for the clarification. I confirm that current non-dev stable public build completely honors that flag.

@leocg Thank you for calming me down.
