Can't understand why for a month or so you're focusing on new things instead of fixing obvious, well-known and easy-reproducible bugs. You're slowly destroying Opera as a product...

"As always, the Opera Team values user feedback"

Uhm, not really.

It makes me laugh how in every update developers fix bugs and create new others

Welcome to the (real) world of software development.

It is evident that new bugs will be introduced. That is not the main problem. The issue is to spend resources on Chess-plugins and Ai-toys when the basic functionality is broken.

Basic tab and window management have been broken now over half a year. New tabs system were introduced, and I had hopes that at least some issues would have been fixed. No, instead we got plenty of more issues, and nothing useful new stuff. The grouped tabs just not work very well. Separated windows work much better for same purposes. If I want to group my tabs, I create a new window and move tabs there. Sadly, there are a lot of bugs and issues introduces lately that hinders that workflow.

The newest version introduced a bug where a new window is created when the only tab is moved to new window. So you get empty extra Windows when you move a tab to other window. Quite annoying. And also, we can't' resize windows from top border anymore. And dozens of old ones. Like, tabs can't be dropped to empty space of the top bar.

I can't understand how it is even possible that these kinds of things get to the released version. And there are many more basic issues with tabs that have been ignored for a long time. Then we get some chess-plugins instead of fixes to basic functionality, Really? What the f is going on with Opera?

Try any other browsers, handling of tabs is light years away, Oper. It makes me quite angry and sad.

^ This!
I'm so, so sad they are ruining such a nice browser that I've been using since like 2004. Also, as a QA Engineer with +13 years of experience, I simply can't believe how they let so many bugs to sneak in to every stable release of Opera. Unbelievably sad.

There is a way to remove this untested menu.
Go to chrome://flags and disable this item.
Now old, native menu is back.

Do you sometimes test your product on macOS before releasing it to Public?

1. What happened to margins between favicons and bookmark titles?
   

2. Didn't your regression UI tests find such obvious issue?
   

PS. Uploading images here does not even work.

@qwew2r233
it has been fixed in 101.0.4843.25 update. You can enable OperaOne Context menu again.

As far as I know crash fixed in .78 version was found by Opera community, not by you.

@cookie-drummer: So all the people in the community went and looked through opera's source code and were like "Hmm... Aha! I found the bug! It's 'DNA-110952 Crash at base::subtle::RefCountedBase::ReleaseImpl() const'"? The users reported the bug, the opera QA team found it and fixed it. I think it is sad how ungrateful these people are. Opera is an awesome browser. Keep up the good work, Opera!

Do you really want to talk about testing processes with me?

Quality is constantly going down.

1. Once update to 104 was completed, I've got logged out of every site I was logged in to (!!!). Basically all the local storage of the apps has been cleared! That's definitely should not have happened.

2. What a disgusting quality of icons on the sidebar apps! Why are you letting it to go to stable channel? Whyyyy? What year is it to use .png instead of .svg icons, huh? Link: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1NV94dlqeW2953geUCrg4WDgsNtIvUxXo/view?usp=sharing

3. Is height of bookmark items on macOS a joke? Or is a accessibility feature that you enabled for all by mistake? What's the reason of almost doubling the height of them? Again: only macOS build is affected!!! Link: https://ibb.co/DwV1dh8

4. Hover animation effect is randomly not trigerred on random sidebar apps. Link: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1NV94dlqeW2953geUCrg4WDgsNtIvUxXo/view?usp=sharing

Shame on you publishing such a bad update.

@andrew84: I simply suspect they are having personal problems within development team. It's hard to believe how many obvious bugs are present in Opera One since 100 build. It's been like two, three (?) months since they released this unfinished product. Maybe Chinese people are pushing them to release things faster? Maybe they fu*ks things up in testing process? Maybe they don't even test on macOS builds? Dunno. They won't tell us.

To Opera development team (especially to QA, Testers and Designers): hope you'll find a way to release a stable product (stable for real, not just by a name).
