Suggestion for Forum Improvement: Enhanced Split-Screen Functionality

I'd like to suggest an improvement to the forum's split-screen functionality. Currently, when using split-screen, it can be cumbersome to switch the positions of the windows (moving a window from the left to the right side, or vice versa).

I propose adding a simple feature to easily swap the positions of the windows within the split-screen view. This could be achieved through a button, a keyboard shortcut, or a drag-and-drop function. This enhancement would significantly improve user experience and workflow, particularly for users who frequently work with split-screen layouts.

Thank you for considering this suggestion!

@Fikri-Jamal By forum you mean browser? Because the forum doesn't have a split screen feature.

It's really annoying to see force opened page "Opera has been updated" with Opera's news every time I launch the browser the first time a day. Can you remove it? Also that square in a middle of the screen for a few seconds is cringe, without it it was better.

@alesha1701 That page only opens after an update.

@leocg: Exactly the point being made.
If there are often updates, we get annoyed with force opened pages often.
An option to have silent updates that don't bother us and don't activate new stuff. A lot of users just want a browser that works with no fuss and don't care that much about supposed improvements that don't actually make the navigation experience faster.
Or maybe instead of that page, let us have a page that explains how to deactivate every single new "improvement". I still cannot disable suggestions from bookmarks or history in the omnibar when typing and it's really annoying that there is no option to disable that.

At https://www.reddit.com/r/OperaGX/comments/1b24otz/comment/ksql4ix/, I have a test extension you can try that auto-closes that page (for both Opera One and Opera GX). Last person that tried it a month ago said it still works.

https://www.reddit.com/r/operabrowser/comments/14hoo1b/comment/k0mn0p4/ might be able to block that (even after an update).

I really like that they updated it. I didn't really like (or use) Split Screen, now I might use it more. Thanks Opera!

I like Opera, it's my preferred Browser, but it still crashes at times. I don't mind the crashes, but if it could recover the pages/tabs after the crash that would be great. That would make Opera unbeatable in many eyes.

@jpaf84 I like the updates and I like that page, it tells me exactly what got updated

@deathcat That conversion is no longer supported, so the option in the UI was useless, so it was removed.

There was a long time ago a shortcut for fast web searches similar to guides, it would be great if they could bring again...

@gahh1 What shortcut was that?

@leocg most probably the talk is about the removed 'Instant search' feature

@Stick111 You are more than a year late. Also there is an option in settings to get start page/speed dial button again.
