Oh thank god. I don't know why the menu bar wasn't displayed. If I remember correctly, it used to show up by default. Maybe I'm wrong.

I recently built a new computer and tried to install Opera 12.17, but the version that installed looks like the "new" Opera. I checked the about section and it states that it's version 12.17, but the layout is very "Chrome-y". Is there any way to revert back to the appearance of 12.17?

@the_creature Half those users complaining about Blink Opera argue it's too Chrome-like. The other half claim they're at the brink of migrating to Chrome because they don't like Blink Opera, though it shares Chrome's DNA. You claim you've almost switched to Chrome because you're able to find plug-ins to replicate the "old Opera experience" - yet most Chrome plug-ins work in Blink Opera. If there's logic anywhere in all that, I've yet to detect it...

Because if you have to use Chrome assets, you might as well just use Chrome, which is compatible with ALL Chrome extensions instead of just most. (It's honestly kind of embarrassing that new Opera has to rely on using extensions for a competing browser just to be able to simulate it's previous incarnation, but WHATEVER)

That, or just keep using 12.17 for most things and then switch over to Chrome when a website isn't compatible, which is what I do.
