As a workaround disable these 2 flags and the old popup will be back.

Web page content's border and new modular design.Appearance
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.

[Suggestion] Remove the purple menu/dropdowns highlighted items in dark/light themeAppearance
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.

RE: Where is the "Recently closed tabs/Tab menu" button on the top right?Opera for computers
@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. -
RE: Where is the "Recently closed tabs/Tab menu" button on the top right?Opera for computers
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. -
RE: [Duplicated]Non-clickable gap above tabsAppearance
@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.

@andrew84 Something like this (maybe wider) popup and all would be happy, but they trying to invent a wheel instead.

RE: Opera introduces Lucid Mode to improve video qualityBlogs
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.

@yuseijaden what's your GPU? Integrated or not?
I described the same issue but without relation to full screen exit. Animated themes simply crash.

RE: Opera 118.0.5461.60 Stable updateBlogs
@pilis00 said in Opera 118.0.5461.60 Stable update:
not adapted for 144Hz screens, they still run in 30 or 60Hz.
I can't comment here because I don't have such screen.
But if animation actually works smoother on 60Hz screen, that's more important for me than the high Hz numbers support. -
RE: Opera 118.0.5461.60 Stable updateBlogs
@pilis00 Btw, I tried to check tab closing animation in Edge (both the latest by default version and with 'Try the new look and feel of Microsoft Edge' toggle switched on) and it seems that there the animation works like previously it worked in Opera (<100 versions). So maybe the 'shrinking' style animation was invented by opera.

@pilis00 ok, I understand.
I simply use what works/looks better for me. -
RE: Opera 118.0.5461.60 Stable updateBlogs
@pilis00 The tabs management on the TabStrip is broken (if comparing vs < 100 version )since 2023. So there are little chances the 'smoothness' (I don't mean only the particular animation) will be fully restored. Personally, I've lost a hope already.
I don't why this happen, my guess the culprit is the 'islands' feature but I can be wrong.
*Maybe if in future there will another global redesign where the 'flat' design (not 'modular') will be again in trend and hyped, then all the tabs management issues disappear at once. -
RE: Opera 118.0.5461.60 Stable updateBlogs
@pilis00 If I don't mistake, the issue persists since the One version presentation.
I think the issue here is that the tab shrinks (not sliding away smoothly), so the text/icon looks messed. Also, in the end of animation the tab (its last visible part) has square corner already, not rounded.another one stop frame
in old version (95) it looks normally and tab is disappearing step by step (sliding away smoothly) so icon/text stay unchanged.
I don't remember if I also reported this, but I'm pretty sure that posting such issues is pretty useless and waste of time.

RE: Opera 118.0.5461.60 Stable updateBlogs
@pilis00 it's not so obvious on video. By 'sluggish' you mean that tab is shrinking while closes and the animation is delayed and thus a part of the disappearing tab is visible?
I copied a stop frame

RE: Can't stop Aria extension from runningAI tools: Sidebar, Prompts, AI tooltip
@Robertiano I don't very much familiar with all these AI related stuff and I don't want to be. I just opened 'News' section in the Opera blog and 80% of the recent posts there relates to AI.
I could understand if some always running AI stuff in the background process would be involved into existing (or new) features functionality improvements. For example the poor themes feature, it's quite easy to understand that dark blue text looks bad on the dark blue background. -
RE: Can't stop Aria extension from runningAI tools: Sidebar, Prompts, AI tooltip
Personally, I totally agree with author.
Something that I don't use/don't need should be switchable off. I posted many times that there should be a hard switch to disable the AI (and the small resource consumption is not an argument for me).
I don't understand what's the problem to implement the switch.
The AI extensions can be enabled by default after installing and there're are tons of hype regarding the AI, so users (fans of AI) can't miss it and leave unnoticed. But there are still people who really don't need it.*And the same relates to the 'Themes' and 'Tab Islands' features.

@pilis00 said in Opera 118.0.5461.60 Stable update:
I for one wouldn't use such old versions.
I understand but the UX smoothness is a lot better in old version.
@pilis00 said in Opera 118.0.5461.60 Stable update:
It's on the Opera addons website
If I don't mistake, it's already not accessible in Chrome store but there are several workarounds to install it in Chrome browser currently. But it looks the possibility will disappear in 139 chrome version.
