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'.
@leocg Look what I've found https://blogs.opera.com/desktop/2017/08/exportable-bookmarks-smoother-videos-design-improvements-opera-47/
Yes, I agree with Opera, this a handy shortcut to my history log.
@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.
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.
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??

to "opera.exe". Then it ran normally.
yes, but it opens previous version 121.0.5593.0.

latest opera dev releases won't work for me
It's broken.
Also discussed in their blog https://blogs.opera.com/desktop/2025/07/opera-121-0-5600-0-developer-update/
@burnout426 said in Opera 121.0.5600.0 developer update:
"Failed to prepare update"
The same here.
Also, according to the changelog it seems they decided to skip 136 version and update directly 135 > 137
I have no wish experimenting with all these installers, I just leave all the things broken.
@satura001 Last time when I was posting reply I saw ads both in Opera One version and in my daily older Opera version.
Now (at the time of writing) I see no ads (no mute, no delay) in 'Old' version and still see full (sound + picture) ads in latest One version. I don't use the player feature daily. But it's uncommon behavior. Every time I was checking the player I saw ads, I randomly saw the both full ads (sound +picture) and muted no picture (delay) ads.
@andrew84 Unfortunately, Edge also enabled the content border by default and removed option ('try new look') from Settings. But fortunately allows to disable it in flags so far.
Actually, the border there is even uglier than in Opera because it's ~4px wide. But I didn't notice issues with scrolling while the cursor is on that border,
@MehrzadS said in Opera 121.0.5593.0 developer update:
If you try to scroll the easy setup or a pdf file it still doesn't work even on Windows.
A bit surprising after so much time, but indeed it doesn't scroll.
Edit: I did another one test. I filled the sidebar with icons (many workspaces) so it enables scrolling. It also doesn't scroll when the cursor is far left.
In old (pre One) Opera it works correctly for all the cases.
@MehrzadS If I don't mistake, the bug was introduced when the 'modular' design was introduced and the content border appeared. So when Opera One was announced, it means somewhere in 2023. At least on Windows.
Later they fixed it for windows.
*Another one bug was that mouse wheel didn't work while the cursor is far right (on the 1px content border). Later it was also fixed. But the same bug but for the left edge is still there.
@leocg it's very bad. The PiP was not improved and the flag was also removed. Another one reason to stay away.
@vladbabinets Yes, here Edge stable is already on 138.
On the other hand, most probably V2 manifest extension will soon stop working there. So probably it will attract some portion of users to opera (especially if they really have a plan to support it even after 138)
DNA-123029 [Color themes] When an animated color theme is selected, a start page wallpaper can be chosen in Easy Setup
It means that it's possible to use user defined wallpaper within the themes? Or there was such possibility and that's was considered as a bug?
