You have plans to improve how the modules visually are separated, especially web page content?
The border around web page content bothers me. I'd prefer no bold black (white in light theme) borders between web page and display's edges (including bottom). And no border between edge of the screen and sidebar or scrollbar.
As a workaround disable these 2 flags and the old popup will be back.
Remove the same purple selection for menus and dropdowns for both dark and light themes. Make it look normal and pleasant to eyes like in other browsers or software. It means different gray accents for dark and light themes instead of the bright purple.
Instead of simply improving/restyling the existing TabMenu and adding a search field there they replaced it with a part taken from the removed 'InstantSearch' feature (InstantSearch had the 'search for tabs' feature, by the way, but it was said that the InstantSearch was unpopular feature that's why it was removed. So it's worth asking why we have a part from unpopular feature in the top right corner now).
Now they are trying to recreate the already existing and well working tabs management popup (I mean Tab Menu), but it seems that the final result (regarding the functionality) will be worse anyway than the existing one. That what I can call as 'wasted developers resources'.
Maybe there should be a slider to adjust the level of sharpness.
On the other hand, why only sharpness?
There are also saturation, brightness, contrast adjustments I used to see in built-in options in players on web pages.
Сontroversial feature.
@mcedro said in [Duplicated]Non-clickable gap above tabs:
I thought it was a nice refresh of the interface, so now I'm skeptical about it.
I was skeptical already when I first launched the 'One' version. The refreshed interface looks cool only on their promotional videos and screenshots, but the user experience suffered a lot actually.
@leocg said in Where is the "Recently closed tabs/Tab menu" button on the top right?:
try improving tabs management
Obvious conclusion.
And not just a try, it really improved the tabs management, and 'Search in tabs' worsened it.
I just don't stop to wonder to all these unnecessary border jumble.
For example when the sidebar is in auto mode.
Sidebar's top/bottom parts look egg shaped, one border looks over another because of the bad shadowing, some curve and 'dirty' rounded corner, still holes when the sidebar panel is opened.
Who designed this, why and what for it was designed in this way??
@orewayaya I don't use GX but in stock Opera version the feature is already implemented but still hidden in flags. I believe it's more than a year already since the flag first appeared and it's still disabled for some reason(under development).
Regarding the second suggestion there was multiple reports already. Other browsers (Edge, Chrome ) allow to select and move multiple tabs. Looks like this an default Chromium's behavior, not clear why Opera can't
The mess with tabs on the tab strip continues. The older Opera's functionality is still not fully restored and still works a way smoother in 'old' Opera.
Now I noticed additional bug (if I don't mistake the similar bug already used to be recently). After tab detaching, a newly created tab overlaps other tabs (keeping the empty space) while sliding it, after mouse button release.
Edit: there's no need to create new tab, the bug happens simply when sliding and dropping tabs,
The same was in 2023 https://forums.opera.com/post/333280
@daria19 said in Opera 122 developer:
on darker backgrounds it can be harder to see. At the moment, we use a black icon to ensure visibility on lighter backgrounds, where a white one would effectively disappear
Sorry, but I absolutely didn't understand ( I suspect the reason is AI) your point(taking into account that other buttons are white as well).
This is what the dimming area meant for, isn't it? To unify the controls view on all backgrounds.
white icons on the light (but dimmed) background
In normal Opera
Are you ever going to improve the PiP? And why you removed the 'redesigned PiP' flag?
The controls are still poor (especially the volume control and the horrible full dimming video on hover).
Additionally the closing cross is black.
Another one issue I noticed is that the reduced PiP produce oversharpened video look.
Compare normal Opera vs One.
*I can predict a question regarding the Lucid mode. But as I mentioned above video becomes overasharpened while reducing it (the smaller is size the bigger is sharpness), lucid is off. I use h264 extension for yotube if that matters.
**It seems more related to Chromium because in Edge there's the same effect.

yes, but it opens previous version 121.0.5593.0.

latest opera dev releases won't work for me
It's broken.
Also discussed in their blog https://blogs.opera.com/desktop/2025/07/opera-121-0-5600-0-developer-update/
@burnout426 said in Opera 121.0.5600.0 developer update:
"Failed to prepare update"
The same here.
Also, according to the changelog it seems they decided to skip 136 version and update directly 135 > 137
I have no wish experimenting with all these installers, I just leave all the things broken.
@satura001 Last time when I was posting reply I saw ads both in Opera One version and in my daily older Opera version.
Now (at the time of writing) I see no ads (no mute, no delay) in 'Old' version and still see full (sound + picture) ads in latest One version. I don't use the player feature daily. But it's uncommon behavior. Every time I was checking the player I saw ads, I randomly saw the both full ads (sound +picture) and muted no picture (delay) ads.
@andrew84 Unfortunately, Edge also enabled the content border by default and removed option ('try new look') from Settings. But fortunately allows to disable it in flags so far.
Actually, the border there is even uglier than in Opera because it's ~4px wide. But I didn't notice issues with scrolling while the cursor is on that border,
@MehrzadS said in Opera 121.0.5593.0 developer update:
If you try to scroll the easy setup or a pdf file it still doesn't work even on Windows.
A bit surprising after so much time, but indeed it doesn't scroll.
Edit: I did another one test. I filled the sidebar with icons (many workspaces) so it enables scrolling. It also doesn't scroll when the cursor is far left.
In old (pre One) Opera it works correctly for all the cases.
