@himmelsheriff I've been registered on the forums for a while, and have used Opera since it required payment to remove the ads (which I paid for multiple versions of), and I absolutely hate this new design. You have some condescending opinion of my post? Some conspiratorial description of why I'm posting about it?

Accept it, this UI change is bad, and the Opera team should feel bad for forcing it on us.

This last update added 6 new shortcuts to my bookmarks bar. None of them I would ever care to use. I accepted long ago you adding them by default to the speed dial, but would you please stop putting shortcuts into my bookmarks that I have zero use for? Thank you.

Whose bright idea was it to integrate Facepuke into Opera? Why is there no option to completely disable it?

I despise FB with a passion, to the point where I'm about ready to abandon Opera completely over this, and I've been a faithful user (and paying customer at one time) for many, many years.

I want to know what level of integration they have with Opera? Does it have any telemetry data collection? And more importantly, why is there no option to completely disable it, like with an addon?

I don't know at what point it was integrated, I only just noticed it, but I really want some answers.

You know, I have to thank the Opera team. Because of this issue after installing Linux on my work PC, I have finally decided to ditch ChrOpera once and for all. It's been a long time coming, with multiple aggravations/ irritations, and this just made it easy to take the final step. I was going to try and fix the issue with the above steps, but I'm finally fed up.

So thank you Opera dev team.

@forestworker90 I'd be happy if they'd just bring back the 'Sessions' feature from PrOpera (Presto Opera) and import it into ChrOpera (Chromium Opera). That, and get rid of this ugly UI change.

This is a terrible forced update. The UI is utterly atrocious. I just want to know if I can revert the look back, because this will finally force me to move to Firefox fully. I've been holding onto Opera solely because of the mouse Rocker function, but I will absolutely give that up in a heartbeat to get away from this new design.

So, several times now, across multiple computers, I've had Opera just randomly decide to pin itself to the taskbar (just happened again today). This is quite infuriating, because I never pin anything to the taskbar. Is this a bug, or are you intentionally telling it to do this? If the latter, I really wish you'd stop, and if it's the former then I hope you can fix it. I don't like having to wrestle with a program to make it do what I want.

I realize this is only a minor annoyance, but it's still an annoyance.

Of course, when Chrome releases their update Opera will get it automatically.

True, and I intended to mention that in my post, but forgot (thanks for catching that for me). My intent was simply to alert people to the phishing bug, so they can be aware of it.

Just wanted to add, that I tested the bug on an earlier build of Opera (10.54), and while it still displayed the incorrect domain, the "Secure" icon in the address bar did list the actual correct domain name.

So, I just saw this on another website. Apparently, there's a unicode phishing bug that's exploitable in multiple browsers. The linked article specifically mentions Chrome and Firefox, but Opera is also affected (obviously, as it uses the Chrome engine), as well as classic Opera v12 and a couple other browsers (ironically, Edge was not affected, but I still would never recommend it). It relies on using unicode characters in the domain, which the browser converts to appear as a different domain name. Add an SSL cert, and it's possible to make a phishing site appear to be completely legit, unless you actually check the SSL cert manually.
