Tabs are microscopic, and as of the newest update Opera crashes when I click on tabs. Shiny doesn't mean better. I've been having to fight this "sleek new UI" the entire time, and the previous version was just better. Every new version is 'different' and adjustment to them is always an experience, but this new trend with companies to think that tiny buttons are sleek and sexy is a nuisance.
Having watched the AIs develop over the last few years, it naturally leaves me concerned about the quality and skew of the articles this AI will be finding for me. Every instance of a chatbot being plugged into social media has so far turned into a nazi, and several several media sites, social media, and companies are embedding AI into their content to enforce a specific viewpoint, which limits the amount of information seen. Yes, this does hint towards the leanings of the programmers and companies, but it also presents an unfair and unbalanced marketplace of ideas. An echo chamber, if you will.
In all fairness, I find it ridiculous that the update 'thanks us' for swapping to Opera One, when it was a mandatory update that forced us to it. Give us a choice to use the AI at least.

@ajayyyy Yes! I absolutely am plagued by large numbers of tabs (my own fault for swapping between projects and not wanting to re-find everything), but even the tab groups are so incredibly narrow.
I've run into many of the same issues you mentioned. Is it so hard for companies to just make a solid, stable browser?
