"New look"

After upgrading, is someone else having search bar suggestions invisible (not truly blank, looks like font and background with same color):

This is the "New GX Look".

I would like an option to disable it. Too bad it is being forcefully imposed now. I hate forced things that affects personal tastes.

Opera GX was the last refuge against Opera One bad UI. Not anymore, it seems.

Just like we can hide the pop-out button when we disable that option, imo it would make sense the Lucid Mode mouseover-button to be hidden when we disable it in Settings.

This procedure will revert:

Via Settings, Enable Widgets (opera://settings/widgets_settings)
Open the speed dial
Open the widgets menu on the speed dial (its at the top right)
There should be a bar on the top asking feedback about the new UI
Next in it, click on the back button [icon of backspace key]
There will be a prompt, optionally give feedback
Click on "revert and restart"
Let the browser restart with the old UI

1. There's a new strange blank space (with a feedback smiley) on Speed Dial before icons, making all speed-dial items align to the bottom of the page. This change in speed-dial also reduced performance on window resizing. Is it related to this: "DNA-106699 [Win] Enable use of Opera GX splash screen in Opera generic"?
2. Dark theme, popup that shows login selection is again using wrong colors.
3. Again a new release using outdated Chromium, two actively exploited security updates behind.

@leocg said in Opera 98 Stable:

@ricardob Regarding 1, probably not.

Regarding 3, check the changelog.

Was about to answer about unpatched things, but who cares? Opera nowadays is all about breaking UI and bloating the browser with things like "AI", wallpapers and paying hollywood guys for marketing purposes.

@antonio1678 Best products take more time to be made.

Tony Stark doesn't approve devs working on Aria instead of fixing bugs.

@aokog They are preparing for a major UI redesign for next version (100). Be prepared for a full wagon of new bugs, coming soon. For example, the option "Disable tab bar's top spacing when browser window is maximized" will not work anymore.

@burnout426 It wasn't updated for this stable release. Perhaps you could remember the responsible.

I bet that the money wasted in this marketing campaign could pay some months of a new developer capable of fixing a lot of bugs.

Nice copy+paste of the changelog of the previous version.
