Whenever I open multiple tabs, there are colorful sticks that appear on the left side of some tabs. They appear in a certain pattern but I don’t see any great benefit in trying to figure out what that pattern is. They are useless sticks that make the tab interface look messy and ugly. I would like to get rid of them completely but I haven’t found a way to do that yet.

In light mode, the sidebar is white. This color is too prominent, it makes users pay attention to it more than necessary. Most of the time users spend on web browsers is spent looking at web pages, not looking at the web browser interface. A better color for the sidebar is gainsboro.

To avoid distractions caused by the sidebar, I hid it.,After hiding the sidebar, the Opera button on the left of the title bar is the same color as the inactive tabs. There is no clear boundary between the Opera button and the first tab when it is inactive. This causes me to sometimes accidentally clicking the Opera button when I move from another tab to the first tab. Because of this, instead of opening the first tab, I opened the Opera menu. The button color should be medium blue to avoid users clicking it instead of the first tab.

Future versions of Opera need to put "Copy" first in the context menu, or at least have an option to do so. Copying using the context menu is better than using the search pop-up. Very few people search using the context menu..

I disabled the "search pop-up" (How to Disable Search/Copy popup in Opera?) because it was constantly causing annoyance, distraction, and unwanted search issues. Search pop-up should be removed from Opera completely or at least disabled by default. Users who need to search for information will often use the address bar or visit a search engine website.

When selecting and right-clicking on text, users often want to copy it. Because of this common usage, the first item in the context menu should be "Copy". Contrary to common sense, in Opera's context menu, the first two items are "Search" and "Search with", the "Copy" item is placed in the third position.

If the first item is "Copy" then I can easily copy text without having to look at the context menu. The awkward placement of the "Copy" item forced me to constantly pay attention to the context menu to make sure I didn't accidentally submit an unintended search query. Since I can't maintain attention and move my hands precisely all the time, there have been a few times when I accidentally sent private information to the search engine.
