The high CPU load is caused by Opera itself according to the Opera task manager (Shift + ESC). Every now and then the CPU load rises up to abnormal height for several minutes and drops back to normal after it and rises again after a while and so on. I first recognized it today because my CPU fan turned on.

"Add to bookmarks" in more than one folder, remember the preferred way of bookmark images & moreSuggestions and feature requests
Sometimes I wanna add a website to my bookmarks in more than one folder. Please make this possible.
Then I'd like to see if Opera could remember my preferred way of bookmark images. For example: When I add a bookmark the bookmark image is always one of the embedded pictures of the website. But I wanna have the screenshot of the website as bookmark image. So I have to scroll through the suggested images until I get the "screenshot". So please make Opera to remember that I prefer a screenshot as bookmark image.
Third I miss a "date added" column in bookmarks. And please let every action take effect in all subfolders of bookmarks. For example: When I rightclick in "my folders" and say "sort alphabetically" it should sort every bookmark in every folder and subfolder alphabetically.

RE: New Opera Neon - concept browserFuture releases
Thank God there are absolutely no bugs in the regular Opera browser so the devs have free time for a fun project :whistle: :lol:
Seriously: I hope the snapshot tool and the split screen will be ported to the regular Opera browser :yes:

RE: Problem with Choosing Bookmark Picture ( thumbnail )General
I can confirm this bug especially on amazon[.com|.co.uk|.fr|.it|.es|.de]. Most (but surprisingly not all) of my newly created amazon bookmarks do not have a preview thumbnail but just the grey plain image instead. Switching through different bookmark thumbnail suggestions doesn't work as well as mentioned / described by martinkukel above.

VPN download: "interrupted: network error"Opera for Windows
Since yesterday (9/30/17) very much VPN download attempts abort after one or two MB with "interrupted: network error" message. It doesn't matter if I use Opera stable or Opera dev build, but it matters to which VPN location / IP I'm connected to. Some VPN locations / IPs still work, others don't. So it's most likely a VPN server-sided update causing the problem which has been rolled out to some VPN servers (but not to all yet). It's the very same issue like the "VPN download from SSL secured servers abort" problem, but now it happens to non SSL connections too.

detect and block JavaScript crypto minerSuggestions and feature requests
More and more websites (for sure mostly those ones of the darker side of the internet) use JavaScript crypto miner which result in up to 100 per cent CPU load. It's not that a big thing to block them with 3rd party add-ons like uBlock origin or just with built-in Opera JavaScript configuration or Opera adblocking custom lists, but I am pretty sure there will be more and more websites who use those scripts and they will be obfuscated and harder to block in the future.
So I suggest Opera to detect and stop JavaScripts with unusual high CPU usage automatically. I am pretty sure crypto mining scripts will be the next big (totally annoying crap) thing.

RE: VPN download: "interrupted: network error"Opera for Windows
Meanwhile it reminds me of an SSL handshake failure between VPN servers and the Opera client?! Please devs, check this out if something's going on like this.

RE: The favicons don't loadOpera for Windows
Same problem here. Since a few weeks, favicons of the bookmarks usually take a really long time to show up (sometimes up to minutes). Before they showed up instantly.

@emniss, I don't see any way to do that.
I think I found a way. I opened the "Preferences" file from the Opera profile folder with the Windows Editor and following entry should set from true to false I think:
"disable_animations":true
I will try it later, because I cannot close Opera dev right now. Let's see what'll happen
Okay, I tried it but it did not solve the problem. I am basically clueless for the moment

RE: Opera 97.0.4711.0 developer updateBlogs
Maybe I've got an idea. Opera is / was set to "Adjust Speed Dial animations for slower hardware" to "on" (if I remember correctly it was set to "off" by default and I changed it to "on"). But this menu entry is no longer available in Opera dev (but it's still in stable and beta where the problem doesn't exist so far). I don't know why it's no longer available in dev but maybe the issue is related to this (now outdated or no longer supported) setting. Is there any way to switch it back to off without the configuration menu?

@emniss Does it happen with a fresh profile too?
I did not try it yet, because the issue occurred after an Opera update and other users got it too.

@emniss, sorry, no problem here on my W10x64 computer (German version):
Everything seems to work fine. What exactely does not work on your computer?
I am obviously not the only one affected by this bug. Found those two users as well:
https://forums.opera.com/topic/60032/opera-96-0-4691-0-developer-update/17?lang=en-US
https://forums.opera.com/topic/60032/opera-96-0-4691-0-developer-update/22?lang=en-USI have Opera stable, beta and dev installed and only dev is affected by the speed-dial-tile-three-dot-menu-bug so far (I can't remember when, but it occurred straight after an Opera update a few weeks ago and long before the jumping-tab-issue). The bug persists with and without Opera hardware acceleration. I noticed on your screenshots your mouse cursor is like an arrow while hovering the speed dial tile and mine is like an arrow too on the speed dial background but on hovering an speed dial tile it changes to a hand-like mouse cursor and it doesn't show up on the screenshot.

What OS? It's fine here on Windows 11 22H2.
W10 Pro. But don't get me wrong please, I am talking about the three dot menu on the upper right corner of each speed dial tile, which only appears on mouse-over and not about the Opera general settings menu on the right hand of the URL bar:

Jumping tabs still present. Totally unusable, going to switch to stable branch.
Besides the jumping tab issue, the three dot menu on the upper right corner of each speed dial tile is broken too. Opera please get both issues fixed.

The high CPU load is caused by Opera itself according to the Opera task manager (Shift + ESC).

I first recognized it today because my CPU fan turned on.
