As a person with rheumatoid arthritis I have fine motor problems - which means it's difficult to click on the small icons in the sidebar, the menus and the extensions.
The text size is just right as is.
How do I make the icons larger without changing the size of anything else?
And then you aren't allowed to edit any right-click context menu to make it easier for those with difficulties either.
This kind of proves that you really don't care about those with disabilities. You really must not want to become a more major browser otherwise you would have addressed these issues long ago.
Right-click on the tab but no reload appears UNLIKE other major browsers.
This means extra clicking is required. Instead of one (right) click on the tab to get the context menu and the reload option, you have to click on the tab to open the web page, then right clicking in any non-text space to get a context menu (which is a different one than what you get when clicking on text), then clicking on reload.
So, instead of having the same context menus for text and non-text right-clicking, you have different ones. This could cause confusion for those that have cognitive difficulties.
I got rid of Opera years ago when they started making changes that were not conducive. I recently installed it to see if it had gotten any better. It has continued to become worse in my eyes.
There is still no Start Menu toolbar. I don't know about you but I have a disability. Clicking a mouse is difficult. Having the start menu toolbar means one less click each time I want to do something. It may not seem like a lot to you but it means a great deal to those whose hands don't work right. One less click x once = nothing, but one less click x several times = a lot.
Why doesn't Opera give this option to assist those with disabilities? Do you not have any disabled people on your staff that could help test things which would aid those with disabilities? It feels like you just don't care.
As a person with a disability, that affects my hands and arm movements and makes it difficult to use a mouse, I would like to see some things changed:
Right click on a tab and the menu shows Reload tab
URL field, right click and have Paste & Go in the menu
The ability to remove certain search engines as it is VERY frustrating to click on the crap ones due to muscle spasms - I want to click on the one I want and not one that Opera may want me to use.
The ability to customize the URL bar so I can put the most used extension icons at my fingertips instead of having to add a lot of extra clicks to get to the extension I want.
Get the old fashioned menu bar back as it is easier to use
I used Opera when it first came out years ago and loved it until some of the changes were made - then I uninstalled it and haven't used it for years. I found Firefox to be more customizable so have stuck with them. If Opera brought back the customization I need I would use it as my default browser. Until that point I cannot and you can be fairly sure many people with disabilities feel the same way.
