Do more on the web, with a fast and secure browser!
Download Opera browser with:
@andrew84 Hardly likely. Everything works as it should in Beta, and everything worked as it should prior to the absurd 95 "upgrade." My time is too precious to waste it in an attempt to solve a problem some self-important designer created.
As I said earlier, the redesign alone points to someone with the maturity level of a teenage girl. If problems persist or spread, I'm going to the Pale Moon browser and leave Opera to the kids.
Goodbye.
@andrew84 You frequently refer to "move to trash" but never to anything else that's supposed to be available on the Speed Dial page. Do you still have the rest of the context-menu options, whether or not you use them? Those options involve far more than just trash!
@andrew84 Windows 10. The fact that Opera 95 works fine on 8.1 ought to be considered anomalous. It would be very, very strange if cutting-edge browser developers were optimizing their product for an OS that its creator stopped supporting three or four years ago!
Despite three separate reports, the context menus on the Start Page (i.e., Speed Dial page) are still disabled. It's been weeks now! Tiles cannot be edited nor can they be trashed. For instance, with all context options disabled, the only way that a site can now be opened in Private Mode is by opening a private window directly from the Menu. The only way that a URL or site name can now be changed or edited is by doing it in Bookmarks.
Even more annoying is that the bottom row of tiles no longer clears the bottom of the screen when the scroll hits bottom. This is something else that was screwed up in this update to Opera 95. Does no one pay attention to these matters?
Other things are going wrong as well. For the first time ever today, my malware program, GridInSoft, thought Developer was dangerous malware. Also, when I tried to shop at IKEA, it refused log-in via Developer and repeatedly told me that I was a Robot, even when AdBlocker and Privacy Badger were disabled! Same thing happened with Beta, too. Stable is still OK, however.
Obviously, someone is trying to drive us to use Microsoft Edge. Who, besides the US government, hates privacy?
@andrew84 Until a few weeks ago, the look in the attached image was nonexistent. Prior to then, what a tile represented was immediately obvious. Now, except for a single image in the second row, it looks like wallpaper for a teenage girl's room. Besides, as I wrote earlier, there are no longer any functioning context menus for editing tiles. This entire design is an insult to serious users.
The more I have to look at the redesigned Start Page, the more I dislike it. It's just so pastel-ridden and so damn "girly-looking" in its fussiness. Things that looked and worked just fine have been screwed around with for no discernible reason other than that someone wanted to change the "decor." Opera is supposed to be a browser for grown-up computer users, not frustrated interior decorators.
I'm going back to Opera Beta until someone with good sense takes charge at headquarters. When that goes pastel, then it's back to Stable. Then goodbye.
@andrew84 My situation is worse. Ever since this update took effect, when I right-click on a tile in Start Page, I get no context menu. When I click on the settings icon in the upper-right-hand corner of a tile, I also get no context menu. When I followed the suggestion to make the flag #start-page-redesign visible, I found that no such flag existed under opera://flags. Now, the only way I can edit an icon or trash it is to open Bookmarks. This is not terribly onerous, but surely it doesn't count as an improvement or upgrade!
What's up?
I am using both Opera Beta and Developer. For years I have relied on the shortcut Ctrl+B to add whatever page I was on to Speed Dial when I thought it would be useful to do so. At some point in the recent past, this option was eliminated from Developer, though it's still active in Beta (for now anyway).
Does anyone know if there is a way to reactivate the Ctrl+B shortcut?
Passphrase sign-in window has disappeared in 90.0.4450.0. Without the window I can't synch passwords to another device.
@venster Is it happening to you in Beta, Developer, or both? I see it still happening in Beta, but Developer has been free of this glitch since the update to 4196.
@andrew84
If you go first to the flags and enable Automatic Video Popout (it's disabled by default), the option "Make popout transparent" is also enabled in the Settings. In other words, enabling the flag makes the Settings options for Videoconferencing and Video the same.
@nanana1 I have Windows 10, and the same thing happened multiple times with me. I also had three or four unrelated crashes using eBay. What happened was that if a new tab automatically opened when a link was clicked on, the third repetition of that process caused a crash. In other words, click, new tab; click, new tab; click, new tab; click, Crash.
(I should add that these problems occurred only in Developer, not in Beta. Beta too has been acting odd lately—mainly entire windows disappearing but then reappearing with all tabs when the browser is closed and reopened—but I haven't seen a pattern in the oddness yet.)
This "upgrade" is a big disappointment and a huge step down from 4183, which seemed to me to be utterly perfect.
Opera 80.0.4150.0 has begun crashing every single time I attempt to open a bookmark through the Menu. The only way to avoid crashing the program is to access a bookmark via (1) a Speed Dial tile or (2) the main Bookmarks overview page—i.e., Ctrl+Shift+B.
This version of Developer has had more problems than any I have used in the past two years.
The ability to delete a Recently Closed tab from the Search Tabs dropdown list (i.e., in the upper-right-hand corner, next to the Minimize icon) has evidently been eliminated in 77.0.4032.0. I've found this function very useful for clearing away clutter, and I'm sorry to see that it's been dropped. Can it be restored?
@dazung Thanks a lot for the tipoff!
A tip of the hat to the developers, too. If Opera were Edge or IEWhatever, the fix would have required a minimum of six months.
Has anyone else seen that on the Bookmark page (Ctrl + Shift + B), the right-click context menu and related commands have largely disappeared? Thus, alphabetizing must be done by hand. Indeed, a Sort command to alphabetize bookmarks is no longer anywhere to be found in any Bookmarks context since the update to 75.0.3953.0.
Please fix this.
