The issue with background you reported will be fixed in upcoming weeks.

There will be many other improvements related to the UI.

I can also share we entered stage in which we're satisfied with "forced dark mode"

As always, I will let you know once it will be released.

Thanks!

I will share with the team to keep an eye on the case.
I can't promise anything at this stage, if there will be anything new, I will post it here. However, this might take some time.

@paul-durham
I don't observe any noticeable CPU consumption on my end.

Could you share specification of your computer? CPU type, RAM and so?

@worldschild
We will keep adding more areas with dark ambience.
Settings will be released very soon, hopeful still this month.
Bookmarks might be a bit later.

Thanks for feedback and reaching out!

@asterarnavlerriaadiwhoislucky

I see. This is a very interesting subject we might purse one day, however it's not a part of the current roadmap.

Hi @ichanath

Opera AIR won't support Speed Dial page, as Opera One does it.

The mission of the browser is to keep it minimalistic, and we think more Speed Dials are against that vision. This is something we are not going to change any time soon.

@Lahoon Split screen is something on our roadmap. We will have it in the near future.

Hi @paul-durham

Boosts and Take a Break are pretty advanced features that load while you open the browser. Like many other elements in the browser, they are ready for the users in case they need them. You can try and hide the features using Easy Setup or sidebar settings and see it this will improve your performance.

Thanks a lot for sharing such details, we will keep monitoring this.

Hi Folks,

I noticed this topic is pretty old, however we made many optimizations along the way in terms of resource consumption.

If you still encounter performance issues, please let me know and share the details.

@Ikbengroot

I don't know what you mean by:
Opera wants to track everything I do
It's significant generalization. You can read more in this thread: https://forums.opera.com/topic/85879/does-opera-air-send-back-user-data/5

Especially this part:
*Here's an official reply from our Data Protection officer:

Opera Air collects certain types of data according to our Privacy Statement for the purposes of delivering relevant advertising and personalized content, only with the user’s consent. Even when data is collected, it is never enough data to be able to identify an individual user in any practical way. If users don’t wish to share such data, they can disable all data sharing through the browser settings, under Privacy and security > Privacy consent settings. By disabling those options, Opera Air sends no data outside simple functionality data, which is anonymous and not associated with the user.*

BTW

Everybody has a right to share their opinion, but we should also respect each other while doing that. You're not forced to use our browsers in any way; however, please maintain a proper level of conversation and don't disrespect the work of people who put a lot of effort into bringing it to life.
