The relaunch button is still looking inactive and without indication on hover.

You continue breaking the features that worked well.

Now the search popup looks like icons only (none of the buttons is preactivated) and on hover it flickers while oversized button appear.

At the same time, I can move cursor over the searh popup and nothing happens (most probably because of the huge buttons padding)

Suggestions were described here https://forums.opera.com/post/401600

*I don't even mention again the partially broken 'scroll to top' feature. It's phenomenal but it's still scrolling to top while moving tab (~3 years bug). Also the PiP still looks bad with its full dimming on hover, without timing and with its reverse volume adjustment from top to bottom.

It's sad that despite of multiple reports and requests the habitual (like in pre One versions) tabstrip's tabs management smoothness wasn't fully restored during three years.

for example...

1. It's still not possible to drop a tab after the [+] button, new window is created instead.

2. Still not possible easily insert a tab between existing tab.
   On the particular screenshot under the tab which is being dragged there's fully hid another tabstrip's tab
   

3. So is need to move draggable tab left and right to put is correctly. But in this case there'll tabs overlay and thus tab island creation is coming depending on how fast and precise user must be.
   But there's no option to disable the tab islands creation by draggingtabs.
   *Btw, Edge has such option
   

4. after such manipulation often a new tab is created not as the last one but somewhere between existing tabs.
   

Th new UI is more complicated to use in overall.

@andrew84 I filed DNA-119219 on that in October of 2024. No comments on it.

@burnout426 Now they have RNA instead. Maybe it was just lost while transferring DNA > RNA.
But taking into account that bugs stay for years probably they don't care much.

RNA-2865 Extension popup is cut when AI feature is disabled

It can be said that it's still cut (the right border and its shadow are not visible)

@andrew84 I also don't like the new pin/unpin icons. They look too small and 'pinned' icon is similar to 'microphone icon' like this

The old one is better. the icons a bit too big in One version comparing to text and extensions icons, in pre One version the size is optimal.
