Why keep fixing things that aren't broken until they are broken?

And how many times do I need to click on "dismiss" before Opera gets a clue that I have absolutely zero interest in getting spammed with commercial every time I start the app?
It's pretty clear by this point that this "experiment" is a big fat fail, please let it die.
I'm using Opera on my phone and computer, and have been using it since it was paid/ad supported. Lately it feels like the devs are forcing more and more crap onto the users, with more and more incentive for users to switch platform.

Why keep fixing things that aren't broken until they are broken? Did Opera fire the entire design team and hire a bunch of complete newbies? Many of the recent design changes completely baffles me,
At one point recently we could expand it to show more than three, now that's also gone.
And it doesn't even show the most recent three tabs, it seems to pick and choose on what closed tabs to show, and quite frequently the one I want isn't in it even though I just closed it 30 seconds ago.
Why?
@leocg Disabled as well ("Opera notifications" within in app settings).
Regardless of settings, the fact I'm 5000 km away from England and clicked on "dismiss" multiple times should be enough to stop it.
Sometimes I need to cache a few pages on my laptop then view them when no wifi is available. I used to be able to just switch on offline mode, but since the new chromopera versions, the browser would try to reload the page when I click on "forward" and "back", then tell me it's not available.
Is there a way to do it in the newer versions?
@leocg said in Opera is being blackballed by more and more sites, can we have the mask as xxx back?:
@nsx There are several extensions that can change the user agent. You can also report the problematic pages to Opera, so they can (try to) fix the issues.
True, but for something this critical, I think it should be built into the browser, especially consider it was a standard feature before (which didn't work all the time tbh).
More and more websites no longer recognize Opera as a valid up to date browser, include some important sites like banking and paycheck. This just makes it harder and harder to continue use Opera as the main browser.
So can we hit pause on fluff modes and have the mask as chrome function back and make sure it works well?

No, news is disabled, as well as any promotional content I can find in settings.
@leocg said in WTH is EPL matchday?:
When and where are you seeing that?
Bottom of speed dial almost every day when opening browser.
Press dismiss only for it to come back next day.
The funny thing about this debacle is on actual youtube video it pretends to respect whatever by auto mute the video and require you to click on it, even though the ad immediately preceding it blasts at full volume automatically.

@Lord-Blizzard It works here.

Same here
I guess you don't watch youtube, because Opera's adblocker work on neither pre-roll video ads nor banner ads.
@Zappy-Owl But there is a reason free VPN has limits and sells premium subscriptions, they have to make money. Opera has too, so it's unrealistic to expect them to offer free VPN with same level of service as a paid provider.
