The sooner you realize that this "fancy" new UI is a total failure and do something about it, the better. After so many complains and dislikes about it you keep walking on the same blind path, which I can only characterize it as "thin ice". I rolled back to 99 from day one and from what I see you don't seem willing to do nothing. Ten friends of mine have already moved to another browser and I'm just one step away from doing the same. You only keep pushing users away from Opera. These are the results of your unnecessary "experiments". The bottom line.

It's a pity.

@tastodd the sidebar button just opens a new tab while the "home" one that's been taken away didn't.

They could at least create a couple of different dark themes, letting users select the one they like

Speed Dial takes much longer to load.

I agree 100%. It's really sad seeing they aren't doing something about this after so long time. I also prefer the older gray color as well, by the way.

@lehuspohus: this is happening for quit some time now. Instead of having as their first priority fixing older bugs and chromium vulnerabilities (without any delays), they just keep adding new "features", creating new bugs-problems and without (most of the times) disabling options. Just by reading comments, you can easily understand how sloppy they've become.
They don't seem to realize that there's also a large number of users which have no need of such stuff and they just want a simple, light and (above all), "safe" browser to do their work.
I keep wonder if they even read users posts anymore.
So don't bother. It's a "take it or leave it" situation.

That little face when will be removed from SD? Completely unnecessary and reduces free space.
Please bring back home button and side bar tools at the top where they were. Or at least give us an option.
I don't like this new UI with rounded corners at all. Can't you at least offer some themes like all other browsers do?

And by the way, since you decided to change the "O" logo from red to grey, why my desktop shortcut remained red?
Will you finally decide which one are you going to use and do some serious work in there?

You may feel thrilled with these changes but a lot of us aren't.

@stolis

But according to the Wizards here; what us complaining stupid users don't understand, is that the (silent) majority like the 100 design.

These secret unicorns think it's an improvement over 99 and want this evolution and bubble mess.

Your and my preference is the problem, not the Opera design. Who could have guessed?

Don't worry. They'll soon enough find out that their magic had no effect on gaining new users. As for the "silent" majority just take a look on comments around the net. Everybody laughs. The stats speak from them self. As for us (the stupid ones), we've warned them.

@andrew84 said in Opera 100.0.4815.76 Stable update:

@stolis The same here. I'll continue using pre-100 version for daily browsing and Chrome or Edge for online payments and etc.
I have no wish to test and post bugs here until I'll see some noticeable improvements in the One's UI/UX.

Absolutely. They've messed up everything I loved on opera. Missed your nice and targeted posts by the way.

@kuroodo said in Opera 100.0.4815.76 Stable update:

@stolis Do you know which browsers they have moved on to? I'm also looking for a new browser after being forced into Opera one. I tried Vivaldi for a few days and loved it, but it had some performance issues.

Unfortunately you'll have to test in order to find one that fits you.

@himmelsheriff It's very simple. They were just enjoying opera as it was and now, with this messed up "upgrade" everybody got crazy.

@burnout426 Thanks for replying. About the command, i'm not sure how to use it. Where do i put the "--disable-site-isolation-trials" command exactly!
The problem does appear after login. What i can't understand is how nobody else seems to have this problem. And of course it's not normal to use extra commands every time, in order to make it work. Don't you think?
Just a little help with the command to check it out, though i believe it's a real problem they should fix.

beta update on a stable version? Should I worry?

@rick2 said in Introducing Opera 102:

Disabling auto-update will only make people keep using old, vulnerable, outdated versions of the browser, which could be even worse than this.

There's nothing wrong using an "older" version if it works fine without creating problems on your browsing. Most of opera updates are about bug fixes or perhaps new features implementation which some people may not like or find them unnecessary. I've also seen many times, bugs been fixed to reappear. Let's not talk about how long it takes them to update chromium.
I'm using more than five browsers and besides opera, all have the decency to inform me about the existence of new versions or updates letting me decide moving or not on installing them.
This way I can check what's new, have all the time to backup my profile in case something goes wrong and been able to restore it much sooner instead of spending time to setup everything from the beginning.
That's why an option been able to disable auto-updates or at least let me decide what to do with them is essential. Something that opera refuses to offer to it's users and finally we all show the results of this kind of policy they insist on following for so long. Still trying to understand what's the logic behind it, denying something that obvious.
I feel much more vulnerable by this than anything else.

@andrew84: personally I'd prefer the opposite. Tab bar become shorter, as it was prior to 100 ver. There's no reason to be that high with so much space getting lost.
Totally agree about the new tab cross and I'd also like the close tab (X) become visible as it was before.
As for the disable islands setting, no question about it. Though I don't think it'll ever exist. They're used on removing, than offering options.

I hope this is a good lesson on why you must stop the auto-update policy you keep following for so long, before it's too late.

@andrew84 No question about it. They already have stopped giving us options for quite sometime now but I'm afraid this time they've crossed the red line with this version.

@vegelund After this, I would just say they're playing around and completely stopped paying any attention on their users.

@himmelsheriff It's very simple. They were just enjoying opera as it was and now, with this messed up "upgrade" everybody got crazy.

@andrew84: you're right. "disable" was just the wrong word.

@nadie-nada-nunca First of all, no one (including myself) requested to remove islands and since there's an option to disable them, that's ok. Problem is that the hole UI has been changed to something no one likes which had been noted by users since developing.
So what I'm simply saying, is that they had all the time to try something different and pay more attention on users opinion. I don't know about programming but I believe that they should first try to add islands in previous UI to see how people would take it and then try to change it. When your own users tells you that they don't like this new look and you continue developing it... I really can't understand it.
I know what smiley face does and of course I've send feedback. The point is that they've been many a lot of complains about it since it's first appearance and requests to be removed but it's still there, without offering nothing useful.
As for auto updating beside it exists for a long time now and actually is a standard opera's politic, almost everybody has requested through this hole time at least to add an option in settings for disabling it, also didn't do anything. And allow me to say that not everybody does it.

@tastodd the sidebar button just opens a new tab while the "home" one that's been taken away didn't.
