WHY??? Was there something wrong with the way it was???? This is not an acceptable change. Not at all. You know.... "if it ain't broke, don't fix it". Seriously, this is crazy having to do an extra step to see your favorites list. Sorry for the rant but dang it, this is just plain wrong.
I too would like to know how to turn off the popup Lucid Mode notification. It is most annoying to me.
I am trying to set up a Chrome browser to match my Opera browser. I have the Chrome browser set up with the FVD Speed Dial and I want to copy or import my Opera speed dials to Chrome which is using the FVD add on. Is there any way to do this?
@leocg Well thanks to burnout426 posting the link to the update page, I finally found the X which was on the opposite side of the page. Being that I was removing the icons one at a time, I never saw the X on the right side of the page. I'm glad this is resolved. Thanks for the help.
My Opera browser goes unresponsive if I leave my PC for a few minutes without any activity. When I come back, the page is still there but none of the links or buttons are responsive unless I reload the page or end up having to restart the browser entirely. What is up with that?
@passenger-chi, Yes, I did notice that too. I also noticed that the Lucid Mode creates artifacts such as light pixels on some videos too. I honestly do not see the use for Lucid Mode myself and there should be a way to turn it completely off if desired to do so.
@NickyT I just posted a question about the same thing. I am glad you added the screenshot. This is very annoying and I hope it is fixed soon.
I installed FVD Speed Dial and I cannot find a way to make it the default browser window. I have Opera as default but when I start the browser I get the the normal Opera browser and not the FVD Speed Dial browser. Also, I would like to know how to use the animated backgrounds in the FVD Speed Dial browser as well. Can either or both on these options be activated? Thanks.
Thanks again. I couldn't see the forest for the trees. I finally figured out that I needed to do a restore down to the browser to see the desktop so I could drop that icon on it. I'm just used to doing a right click to add a shortcut to the desktop as I did in IE11.
Thank you very much for that information! I hope that it will speed up the process of setting up Chrome. I am having to use Chrome to view many of the demonstration videos I encounter on a lot of websites like Amazon. So many of them will not play in Opera. But I still prefer Opera to let you know.
@tastodd Thanks for letting me know that. I updated the browser to that version and found the new settings for Lucid Mode. I am curious though as to why there are two settings for "Sharpen images on all sites" in the box. I like the Lucid Mode but just got annoyed at the popup reminder always being there as I watch a lot of YouTube videos as well as news reports on video. Thanks again!
@tastodd said in Disable Lucid Mode?:
@graywoulf Yes, it's an extension. Download it from the respective app store
Thank you very much!! I installed uBlock, added the filter *###lucid-mode-button and it worked. I really appreciate your help with this. 
@tastodd said in Disable Lucid Mode?:
@graywoulf This is the uBlock filter. Look a little higher, it was shown where to insert this line
Thank you for that information. However, I do not know anything about uBlock. Is it an extention? Where do I find it? Thank you.

*###detach-button-host
here blocking the *###detach-button-host also blocks the pop-ut button.
*I tried blocking the *###lucid-mode-button instead
Please explain to me how to use these settings. Thank you.
@mehmetkaynak I totally agree with you on the annoying part.
@leocg No, I did not but that works well thank you. I guess I am too much old school and still in Windows Explorer mode and was looking for a right click solution. Otherwise, I have been satisfied with using the speed dial.
Is there a way to send a website link to my Windows 10 desktop instead of to the Speed Dial and not as a text file as well?
