@l33t4opera: why? I have .21 here (About page)

Do something with annoying (especially in dark mode) multiple blinking of the background on browser start. Quite often I can see here some background flashing sequence in different colors: pure white, very light blue (the same that is used for the background in the light mode when wallpaper is off), dark gray, the main color of currently active wallpapers. On ALL channels.

DNA-87104 Right click context menu becomes scrollable sometimes
I'm a bit surprised (positively) that the fix was backported in Stable so fast.

@mogikanin you can hide it by disabling the #extensions-toolbar-menu flag in opera://flags

@colt69 from the changelog.
DNA-87358 Set Flash state as disabled by default.

You still can enable it, but on December 31, 2020, Adobe Systems will officially stop updating and distributing Adobe Flash.

Adobe will be removing Flash Player download pages from its site and Flash-based content will be blocked from running in Adobe Flash Player after the EOL Date.
Adobe always recommends using the latest, supported and up-to-date software. Customers should not use Flash Player after the EOL Date since it will not be supported by Adobe

video pop-out bug (at least on youtube).
when clicking on timeline the volume indicator jumps to full, also when paused the volume is shown as full.

• Please, improve the video popu-out to be not worse than in yandex browser. https://forums.opera.com/post/214796

@hex1984 Simply there's no chance that they return the InstantSearch in near future. But custom sites are in development stage. And if using panel, it's possible to see both main page and the search result at the same time. In case of InstantSearch it looks like a miniature of google search page result (but with small text without possibility to increase it), that's why I never used it. For me is much more easer to open bookmarked Google page and do search (or just create new tab and use search box on start page).
But, of course, I don't mind they keep such features like 'InstantSearch' if someone finds the feature useful.

suggestions (details via links)

1. Dark mode for 'Search in tabs' popup. *Increase the recently closed tabs items count.
2. Separate EasySetup and StartPage settings (https://forums.opera.com/post/216422). Without start page settings the EasySetup menu will be more compact and 'Features' section can be returned. For example 'Workspaces' toggle should be in EasySetup (sidebar is meant only for visual adjustment, not for enabling browser features), myFlow, cryptoWallet toggles should in EasySetup ( maybe some more features- Personal news, Battery saver for example).
3. toggles for the whole sections in sidebar setup (https://forums.opera.com/post/216335)
4. the adblocker/tracker blocker icon visual states (https://blogs.opera.com/desktop/2020/06/opera-70-0-3728-0-developer-update/#comment-215331)
5. 'search in sidebar panel' feature (https://forums.opera.com/post/215831)
6. adequate menus/dropdowns items highlighting in dark mode and restyled/ refreshed menus/dropdown(https://forums.opera.com/post/216236).
7. restyle extensions menu icon in the toolbar (https://forums.opera.com/post/216199)
8. view extensions in stores (https://forums.opera.com/post/216407)

Unfortunately, one of the main problems is still not resolved. I mean the background multiple flashing/blinking issues while starting the browser, white flashbangs when switching internal pages, when opening bookmarks.

@ralf-brinkmann: I can only suggest to check the same sites with a clean temporary profile.

@ralf-brinkmann: can't confirm it here on Win8x64.
When hitting Ctrl+f5 to reload the result is the same?

Visual issue here. All channels.
After creating a new tab and if not moving the cursor, the [+] button flickers , seems like it still stays focused for a moment (more noticeable in dark mode).

Thank you for these fixes.
*There's possibly a minor issue is left, while expanding dropdowns some white line appears first at the bottom.

@leocg: forcing to use additional steps (typing, remembering what to type, how to type) in browser UI makes the browsing process more complicated.
I wonder why should I remember the exact titles of the tabs to be able to search for them later if I can do one click and see the result. Opera is breaking its own principles where the desirable info and features are always at hand.

@leocg closed tabs must be visible then I'll remember what I need to reopen, not vice versa when I must first remember what tabs were closed and then search.

@vomax007 they returned something similar (#enhanced address bar flag ), but with the 'top' sites and without the quick action buttons it is pretty useless. I suggested many time already adding the buttons like in previous version.

@vomax007 said in Opera 69 comes with built-in Twitter:

Gismeteo

there's extension in Opera addons https://addons.opera.com/en/extensions/details/gismeteo/
Despite being 2 years old it's a way better than the Weather widget.

@kmielczarczyk: Thank you for the info.

Shouldn't the wallpapers from the blog announcements appear in Opera addons (or in installation package)? The most recent wallpaper from Opera was uploaded a year ago.
I'd also suggest to make some wallpapers in both light and dark versions or allow to select 2 any of my wallpapers which will behave like Reborn's dark/light circles wallpapers (to be automatically switchable on/off when enabling/disabling the dark mode)
