Same here, I'm a tablet user (wayteq xtab 7q), and everything is worse with the new messed up UI. Worst of all, opera spent company money and dev time on this unnecessary step instead of doing quality of life fixes, such as "not pestering the user about nonresponding pages with a freakin popup notice in the middle of the freaking screen", or "enlarge the refresh button because its hard to hit with touch controls"

No. But there was PLENTY of time to develop notifications for promotions and news, which is a "feature" NOBODY wanted. Hey, losers, here is a piece of advice: I can check my news on my own! I don't need your program to wipe my ass for me!

Best of all, this is the second time the goddamn android overlord system updated my version without my express consent, so fuck them too. And I can't find a decent .apk to downgrade with.

Sorry that it came out this way, because I love Opera and the previous version (37, android) was great! (aside from finding my saved pages, and not being able to save pages in .mht or .html format, although that hasn't changed here either) Anyways, I've vented both my bad day, the ten years of frustration thanks to arbitrary ui changes in software and my disappointment with the new version of opera(41 for android, now with extra irrelevant crap and rolls of toilet paper), and now I feel a lot better. So take the abpve with a grain of salt.

So now I'm curious about your designers' reasoning behind this and all the minutiae UI changes that ruin my muscle memory, and the unergonomic colors and fonts.

Even worse, the changed UI looks like as if the design team had to crunch something together because the beancounters/hr(slave drivers) had enough of them twiddling their thumbs. Eiher that or some young manager/designer wanting to one up his predecessor. At least this is how Bastard Operator from hell stories start

Even though maintaining two or more interface designs would solve that issue much better. Or even better, give us the option to use some markup language to design our own interface and showcase our favorite designs.

Not kidding: I haven't seen a single Ui redesin within any product that was an improvement, and I'm starting with the winxp interface all the way through ribbon to the various operas.

I don't want a rollback, I want updates to actually improve things, not degrade my UI.

unstable and inferiorly designed if I may add.

Edit: is there any apk for the previous version? Mind me, I'm willing to participate in the test if there is any hope that the UI will be fixed.

Google play auto-updating my apps, and the new opera ui being like.. fifty shades of gray, it hurts my eyes so much...

Here's a little issue: The interface is complete trash, no opera button, worse contrast (instead of black, there is a grey bar onto which the tab ears are overlayed), the goddamn vertical [...], everything is different.

Grey text over grey buttons over grey background: this hurts my eyes. The ergonomy is nonexistent here!

Why can't those who like the v37 interface keep it? Also the new start page is useless, the way search works now is a mess.

Give me back my UI or fix yours, posthaste!

Another reason: I'm used to having my right thumb as the click the refresh button, and now I find it on the left! Why!? Why change this? Has anyone here heard of muscle memory? Why change that which works? Don't pretend that you ares some almighty all-knowing gods of design that know better than me what I (emphasis: I) want. The home button is unnecessary because if I want a startpage I whip out a new tab, less clutter that way.

Seriously, please, think this through. The Bust Button (shoulder n head) is good because I can finally access my supposedly saved pages (why can't I save them in HTML, again?), but this change is just... bad. I'd like to be positive, but I can't. My eyes hurt, the menus are bad, the contrast is nil.
