After many years of using the Opera browser (since version 7.5, if I remember correctly), I finally switched to the Vivaldi browser. You don't even know what a relief it is! I couldn't stand this ugly Opera One Ui anymore! All those big rounds like in airplane windows, nightmarish bright purple accents, silly looking tabs, stupid new sidebar with buttons moved to the bottom (so ergonomic!), incorrectly scaled side panels...

Now I've got almost everything I had in Opera (I miss only the bookmark's page layout) plus great looking UI (they added themes so you can have nice icons finally!), properly integrated side-panels, notes, list of sites to read later (temporary bookmarks :)), vertical tabs (I don't like them, but they are here), more tab grouping options, no stupid audio pop-ups after update, browser UI scaling and proper main bar height... Can't even express how happy I am!

@burnout426 Same thing as before. I've got an error "Insufficient privileges to install in chosen location". I've got admin account, UAC disabled, never had such pronblem before July 2022

I can't uninstall Opera 100. It's ridiculous.

BTW - why the tabs cannot be higher and why main tollbar cannot be thinner? It's so huge now even though icons gets smaller and smaller. Please, start to think.
I quite like separated modules and even that frame around the page content, but not these too much rounded shapes and even more wasted space!
And please, make SD tile less rounded. Websites are not designed for old TV's....

Totally agree!

OK, bye bye Opera... at least Opera One. Reinstalling version 99.
Why these tabs are so thin an incoherent with the rest of the UI?
Why buttons on the sidebar are moved to bottom?!

I have nothing to add - this change is ridiculous! Revert to previous behavior! If you really want, keep that only for the Bookmarks Bar folder!

@burnout426 Wow, cool... that will be my favorite part:

"Delete any Opera subkeys under "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall".

Delete "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\OperaStable". (Delete Operabeta, Operadeveloper, and "Opera GXStable" ones in "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes" too.)

Delete "HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\OperaStable" if it's still there. (Delete Operabeta, Operadeveloper, and "Opera GXStable" ones in "HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT" too if they're still there.)"

OK, I'm afraid I'm afraid I'll have to do this, so, honestly, thanks for your help!

But I'd like to now why it happens? How can you break the uninstaller so that it doesn't work?

Opera behaves as a malware...

@donq I bet caching. As far as I know the only solution for Blink based browsers is to create RAM disc and move cache there...

When I try to uninstall Opera I receive a prompt "Insufficient privileges to install in chosen location" (or something like that, I'm translating from my national language).
What can I do know?
I don't see any uninstaller in Opera folder.
As far as I know it's not possible to run Windows Settings with elevated permissions...

I don't want to update Opera right now and I Don't Want that ugly red background under Opera menu button!
What can I do to get rid of it?...

I've got a problem with history page scrolling. I think it started when the new history page layout was introduced.

Now scrolling usually doesn't work when the cursor is placed over the entries until I move it. It also doesn't work for the same reason when I try to scroll history using arrow keys immediately after opening history page.
When the cursor is placed over the background, scrolling usually works, but it stops randomly.

Has anyone noticed the same problem too?

Windows 10 202H with last Opera build.

Actually I don't need shortcuts in address bar, because I have sidebar and toolbar buttons.
I'm not even sure whether SD pages should be there but if you want to add them, add only the most-visited SD pages.

I'd to see in the drop-down sidebar bigger section with recently closed pages - at least six. So there could be six recently closed, three "Visit Again" and three shortcuts.

What about DEEZER?

I've tolerated some Speed Dial adverts, but that huge icon on the sidebar is too much. I'm really thinking about switching to Edge or Vivaldi... Do you know some good and safe speed dial extension? I don't need much more to be honest, all extensions I use are in Chrome Web Store...

Nobody has any idea what to do? And why such a problem appears?
I thought that perhaps down scaled window is too big, but really small window behaves in the same way.

Is there any way to use /force-device-scale-factor without Opera window snapped to the top of the screen each time I open the browser?

Because of the problems with my eyesight I'm using big, already 32" display and custom scaling factor in Windows 10 (FHD + 125%). Unfortunately what's good for many applications or games doesn't work well with Opera Browser - it's UI is huge. websites also could be "smaller" and of course I can use custom zoom level for them, but for the UI I can't (that's not Vivaldi :()

/force-device-scale-factor parameter works great but every time I open my browser it loses the last window state. Not it's size or horizontal position, but the vertical one. Window is always placed close to the upper edge of the screen... no matter of the window size.

Can I do something with It?
Using window size and position parameters doesn't help!

Ee... OK, it Seems that it was my fault... Is there any way to use /force-device-scale-factor without windows snapped to the top of the screen each time I open Opera?...

Jesus f....g Christ, when will you fix that irritating bug with loosing last window state - size and position! Do I really have to downgrade to Opera 68?!

@aleksod: More beautiful? Good joke. that new floating panels are awful (as well as the tabs bar, quick settings panel, new downloads page)... Thank God there are flags to disable them...
