@kabir96 Yes, that would be super cool. When Early Bird is on, at least as an option, change Opera's app icon (which would affect Opera's taskbar button too). Something to think about.

@kabir96 I assume the one in "C:\Program Files" has Early Bird off and the portable one on your D drive has Early Bird on?

This seems a good idea. I rarely used Beta - and always use Developer. (Now I am on the dark side - or maybe original light side) and testing Vivaldi.Those are my principles, and if you don't like them... well, I have others. ...

I understand the idea, but still a bit disappointed. Having three different, desktop usage oriented Opera browsers on my PC has become useful as I could easily have separate browsers with the great Opera experience for normal use, work, and social media stuff. Now one of these is going away, so for that browser I must look into another option. Probably Vivaldi or Brave.

I hate this so much. Why can't it just overwrite the previous. Why does it have to be a separate install. No settings are merged, no tabs etc. So annoying.

@idiocracy You can rename (or copy if you want to preserve the original) the "Opera Next" folder in both "C:\Users\yourusername\AppData\Roaming\Opera Software" and "C:\users\yourusername\AppData\Local\Opera Software" to "Opera Stable" to use your Opera Beta profile with Opera Stable.

I get what you're saying. But why add hoops?
It could've just been an update and it would've been fine. Now people have to manually install the new, uninstall the old, figure out how to get your open tabs from one browser to the other.
It's just unnecessarily annoying. -

@idiocracy One thing that might be nice in general would be an option to import from any other Opera (Air, GX, Developer, Beta, Stable, custom location of profile etc.).

@kabir96: You can already customize the icon of any program on Windows.
Create a shortcut for the program -> right click the shortcut -> Properties -> Change icon -> Browse. You can pick any .ico file.
In order to pin it to the taskbar right click the shortcut -> Show more options (if on Windows 11) -> Pin to taskbar. If the program was already pinned, you will see Unpin from taskbar. Unpin it and then pin the shortcut.
