After upgrading, is someone else having search bar suggestions invisible (not truly blank, looks like font and background with same color):

RE: Opera introduces Lucid Mode to improve video qualityBlogs
Just like we can hide the pop-out button when we disable that option, imo it would make sense the Lucid Mode mouseover-button to be hidden when we disable it in Settings.

RE: Opera 98 StableBlogs
- There's a new strange blank space (with a feedback smiley) on Speed Dial before icons, making all speed-dial items align to the bottom of the page. This change in speed-dial also reduced performance on window resizing. Is it related to this: "DNA-106699 [Win] Enable use of Opera GX splash screen in Opera generic"?
- Dark theme, popup that shows login selection is again using wrong colors.
- Again a new release using outdated Chromium, two actively exploited security updates behind.

RE: Opera 98 StableBlogs
@leocg said in Opera 98 Stable:
@ricardob Regarding 1, probably not.
Regarding 3, check the changelog.
Was about to answer about unpatched things, but who cares? Opera nowadays is all about breaking UI and bloating the browser with things like "AI", wallpapers and paying hollywood guys for marketing purposes.

Tony Stark doesn't approve devs working on Aria instead of fixing bugs.

@aokog They are preparing for a major UI redesign for next version (100). Be prepared for a full wagon of new bugs, coming soon. For example, the option "Disable tab bar's top spacing when browser window is maximized" will not work anymore.

@burnout426 It wasn't updated for this stable release. Perhaps you could remember the responsible.

I bet that the money wasted in this marketing campaign could pay some months of a new developer capable of fixing a lot of bugs.

RE: Eric André and Opera GX bury boring browsers in chaotic rampageBlogs
@bestcodes said in Eric André and Opera GX bury boring browsers in chaotic rampage:
P.S. If you have issues with Opera, the tech support is awesome, just ask them to fix it and be positive and thankful.
Clearly, neither you nor Opera QA care to fix important bugs; people are reporting the same bugs in every single release since Opera One (v100). One or two critical are fixed every 2 or 3 months, but a truck of critical regressions remains.
I care about Opera, but it has taken the path of corruption. The less than 3% market share it has is proved by its [missing] quality.
Paying fanboys to lie about your problems is the way to become more irrelevant.
Good bye.

RE: Eric André and Opera GX bury boring browsers in chaotic rampageBlogs
@lord-of-the-lost "Opera Software" is a single company, it should not waste money anywhere. Unless it wants to break.
GX, imo, is a temporary product made more likely for marketing purposes; some day it will be discontinued. Perhaps the broken One ui will be force-pushed into it even before it is discontinued.
One ui shouldn't have been pushed into Stable channel yet. It is clear Opera Software doesn't have developers capable of fixing it properly, and so the worst decision was made: rush it the way it was (a big unstable mess).
One may argue that Opera is trying to earn more money with such marketing partnerships . Well, it has been doing that for several years already, but the quality of its product is only decreasing. Inefficient strategy.

Other than that, the video is a good metaphor for what the Opera team is doing with the reputation of the browser, ie, hammering it until there is nothing good left to remember. Or, from a different perspective, this may be what old users will do to their computers after using Opera One for a few days.

RE: Opera GX v104.0.4944.70 hides a bizarre 8MB videoOpera GX
"opera_gx_splash" itself is a nuisance that I'm sure never made a single user happy. Opera has long become a browser to be avoided, except for one or other feature, just like any other thing made only for invasive marketing purposes.
I'm glad GX still uses the not-so-broken traditional UI, now that "Opera One" UI is a broken and unusable thing since its birth.

Hey Opera team, you are ruining the reputation of Opera Browser every single day!

@leocg Not irrelevant is a company that pretends to be trustworthy, but hides a crap video like that and pushes a new version just to add it.

RE: Opera GX v104.0.4944.70 hides a bizarre 8MB videoOpera GX
@leocg No, this video is hidden inside a file resource on the new version. You can notice the installer size increase:
Opera_GX_104.0.4944.60_Setup_x64.exe = 133,65 MB (140.138.816 bytes)
Opera_GX_104.0.4944.70_Setup_x64.exe = 142,80 MB (149.735.248 bytes)This is the result of this video being included in splash.exe in addition to the other two normal tiny videos used in the splash screen.
