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??
@sektorl try disabling the #scrollable-tab-strip flag and check.
Despite of being enabled by default, the scrollable tab strip flag causes both visual and usage issues(even if the toggle in Settings is disabled).
@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

I am using Opera One Opera One(version: 133.0.5932.85
uBlock was updated and works fine here on Windows 11 Pro
Sure it still works fine on 149 chrome. My post was about 151 version.
@thelittlebrowserthatcould I'm on Win 10.
The same bug is in Developer.
Taking into account the two blog articles hyping the vertical tabs it's quite surprising that such sensitive bug wasn't detected at the level of developing. Maybe there are not so many people who really needs the vertical tabs feature and who use it.
On the other hand it seems like the quality of testing and feedback become worse especially after Beta channel deprecation and replacing with the EarlyBird options.
@NomadMK15c Here (Win 10) I don't see the context menu. So not only the address can't be pasted but also copied and other options that are presented for the address bar.
Quite significant bug I should say.
Another one bug (quite serious) regarding the vertical tabs.
https://forums.opera.com/topic/89178/i-cannot-paste-an-address-into-the-address-bar-with-the-new-vertical-tabs-turned-on
Here I dont see the context menu (I see the tabstrip's menu instead) at all so address can't be copied/pasted and so on.
@fitzydj There are big chances that starting from 151 chromium uBlock Origin will stop workoing completely.

I asked multiple times in Opera blog what will happen in 151 but didn't get any response.
@korol78 Have no idea. I'm not logged into the account.
I'm not sure if there some dependency on the logged or not logged in.
@korol78 Exactly the same issue like used to be in 130 version.

Not Opera fault. I have the same in Edge.
While in Opera developer it works fine.
I'm on Win 10.
Edit: btw, I tried right now in Opera 133.0.5932.85 Portable and here it works fine.
Horizontal tab island are not automatically named but in vertical mode the island are named.
*Named islands look different in vertical mode. The 'pill' is inside the island name box. I think the same should be for the horizontal mode instead of the separated pill.
Also, the black text on the colorful boxes is not the best solution from readability side vs previous design.
The bug I noticed regarding the vertical tabs.
enable vertical tabs > adjust the width > clict the collapse button > enable the sidebar (not autohide mode) > click the expand button = the vertical tabs pane won't expand.
*Another thing I noticed is that pinned sidebar = pinned vertical tabs panel. It seems like the vertical tabs is not a part of the sidebar so it should stay the same regardless the sidebar is pinned or not.
*The vertical tabs should have option to place it on the left or right edge (or sidebar could have such option, or both of them) to not overload the left edge.
*In vertical tabs you use the color indication to show the tabs reference to tab island. In horizontal mode such indication is missed inthe both expanded tabs on the tabstrip and in island's dropdown on hover (where is still no highlighting effect on cursor hover)
