@tastodd As was mentioned they also have broken the search engine creation using context menu.
In addition, now the search engines are collected automatically while you visit sites and the inactive search engines list increases without your knowledge.
Also, currently there's an additional bug that even inactive search engines are visible in right click > 'search with' list.

• restore the 2nd click for 'scroll to top' feature and restore the 'create search engines' functional. There are anough reports already reagrding this on forum.
  The search engines auto creation and then activating is total rubbish. Stop the chaos among the habitual and proven features.

• There's still gap between sidebar and panel and items in panel is misaligned https://forums.opera.com/post/404906

@vfel46 this is not a bug.
The search box on start page was always locked to google only.

@vfel46 said in Ability to 'pin' tab islands:

It would be useful for situations where you group tabs in the same manner on an ongoing basis.

Pin island is 'must have' option and I suggested the same since the tab island feature implementation.

*It took almost 3 years to implement tab island names. Also there's still no option to ungroup tab islands.

Split sreen tab should be also pinnable.

Fix the search popup position. It appears in random place and has different shapes.

you managed to break the creating search engines way but didn't manage to clear the shortcut setting.

The setting is not functional but stays there for years.

Btw, after i mentioned search popup I checked it and here it appears in random places and have random shape (its bottom's pointer, depending on how close to display edge) not directly above selected text.

In Stable is the same story.

@tastodd I was using Opera because of such features:

• click on tab to scroll to top/back
• search with > created engines list
• best PiP among other browser
• search popup
• speed dial

So now all the features excepting the speed dial look broken or partially broken.
Search popup is also still good but it was almost desctroyed after the 'redesign' which thankfully was killed before its birth and didn't reach Stable. But I believe the feature won't be left alone if they already had plans to redesign it.

Updated Chromium to 150.0.7871.13

So it's true that in 151 all the workarounds to keep the MV2 extensions will be removed in chromium and the support will end in Opera as well?

@vladbabinets here the same

Edit: it doesn't work in full screen, in minimazed mode it still works. I guess the issue is related to 1px removal.
I hope the 1px border removal is not a bug and the border won't be restored.

Edit 2: after mnimizing and maximazing again it works once in full screen mode with the huge gap.

Despite of being off in Settings there's stiil google lens icon on start page.

In this release I don't see the 1px content border what's really great.
But there's still the white triangles at the bottom. I really hope the triangles will be removed but not the 1px border will be retored.

Restore the 2nd click for the ''scroll to top' feature and restore the 'create search engine' option for search fields

There are enough complaints on forum as well regarding this.

*Please, stop breaking and killing well designed and habitual unique features.

RNA-2291 Scroll bar in Easy Setup is not moveable when the mouse cursor is on the far right

No fix here. EasySetup stll closes while trying to grab the scroll bar.

@burnout426 said in I'm missing the "Create search engine" entry:

thing just comes from Chromium that Opera turned on

So it's pointless to request from Opera team restoring or fixing the habitual way of creating engines ?

@burnout426 said in I'm missing the "Create search engine" entry:

when you visit supported sites like Youtube that tell browsers how to search the site, you will see that a search engine for it is now automatically added

I don't understang the logic at all...
I don't understand why it was changed this way. If doing like this, there should be just option whether to automatically add engines or not while visiting sites.

Btw, here even not active engines are displayed in the right click menu...

So instead of adding/editing search engine during the creating is need first activate it (but actually it's already active partially, for the context menu) an then edit.
Another one 'genius' implementation of the well working feature.

It seems that along with other chromium based browsers Opera's MV2 extensions support will be lost starting from 151 version. Looks like all the workarounds flags will be removed
Especially sensitive to uBlock support.

Restore the option to delete unnecessary themes in EasySetup.

'force dark page' toggle still doesn't remember its state (most probably because of the toggle in Settings vs toggle in EasySetup are not synchronised) .

@Opera-QA-Team The particular bug is not so important comparing vs the features recent changes and long playing bugs but I can reproduce it easily here on Win 10 (according to the bug reporter's link responsees he's on win 11).
