@davey126: That's your personal opinion and i respect it. But the hole point is to improve
functionality, right? In this case there's a lot of people feeling frustrated with the absence of previous feature. Otherwise we wouldn't see that many posts about it.
So i believe they should reconsider their decision in this case and give users the opportunity to disable stuff they don't like. Don't you think?

While using Firefox in the past, when i was choosing the "open in new tab" option, it had this really nice feature showing the new opened tab without having to manually select it, like i do now in your browser.
I'd really like to see this in opera.

@burnout426 Thanks for replying. About the command, i'm not sure how to use it. Where do i put the "--disable-site-isolation-trials" command exactly!
The problem does appear after login. What i can't understand is how nobody else seems to have this problem. And of course it's not normal to use extra commands every time, in order to make it work. Don't you think?
Just a little help with the command to check it out, though i believe it's a real problem they should fix.

@stolis First, Opera has some dozen of millions of users, so ten, twenty people don't seem to represent the majority of users.
Also, as usually always happen, the ones who didn't like the change are more active, making it look like they are a majority.

First: Opera used to have a dozen of million users. There’s a dozen of “desktop browsers market share” sites, showing the exact opposite. Worldwide-March 2020, opera 2,37% usage. Source https://gs.statcounter.com/browser-market-share/desktop/worldwide and many others. There’s no need mentioning.

Second: If you-they consider that the 50% of complaining posts about the withdrawal of previous instant search feature represent a minority of users, I’ve got nothing to say.

Third: The major problem every time they add a new feature, is that they also remove any kind of option for disabling them. At least in most of the cases. Allow me to say that this behavior doesn’t look nice. It seems like they don’t really care about their users. Now you might say that this is just a personal point of view which doesn’t represent the majority of opera users, but on the other side the complaining posts shows the exact opposite. Unless I have to return back to school to learn math’s from the beginning, cause it seems I can’t really understand the meaning of numbers.

So, I’d really like to know how they end up taking decisions about the usability of features if they don’t give attention on users complains in their own blog? From where they get the numbers you-they are talking about? Seems like their ignoring them.

Eventually even the existence of this blog turns to be useless as well.

@burnout426 Thanks for the shortcut. Didn't know about it and i couldn't find it into the keyboard settings.
Either way i still believe that such an option into the tab settings it would be very useful.

@leocg said in How to deactivate the pop-up window of play, backspace, and increase opera volume?:

@dominusdrt As said in previous similar topics, try disabling opera://flags/#hardware-media-key-handling

Can you please tell me how to enter flags?

@leocg: But you keep saying that others users favorite features (instant search in this case), aren't that useful anymore.

@burnout426 I'm going to check on vivaldi as you suggest but i have to insist on this one. I don't want to use extra extensions for something that i believe is so simple to create. At least that's my opinion.
Of course it's up to chromium devs. I suppose it could be a suggestion from operas devs? Don't you think?

I rarely have more than 10 to 20 (max) open tabs, so "search in tabs" is totally useless to me. Please put an option in settings for disabling it or re-enabling the "Recently closed tabs/windows" button.

Hello everybody. I’d like to share with you a peculiar idea which came up to my mind concerning operas future development and I’d like to hear your opinion about it.

What would think if operas devs before attempting any changes on the browser (new features, ui changes etc) put their plans in public in some kind of poll in order to see users opinion about them?

For me that I don’t have time watching the developer blogs, it sounds really nice and I sincerely believe it would be very useful for them to, as they wouldn’t “waste” time creating features insignificant for users and put their efforts to the most popular (by following poll results).

So, what do you think?

@andrew84: No need to worry, guys are just a bit busy getting ready for summer vacations. It seems we'll have to wait till next Reborn.
If we're still alive

@pavelopdev: I totally agree with you about the blue in dark mode, it sucks. Τhe one you suggest is much better. I don't expect to see something soon. Just check andrews84 comment below about the "hieroglyphs" in bookmarks. He is writing about it (among other users) for over a month now. Did you saw anything changed?
I suppose we 're wasting time noticing such kind of issues (concerning UI improvements).
They don't seem to care at all.

@l33t4opera: Can't tell if this happened due to a possible bug of chromium version or is it something else. I 'll have to wait and see. Right?
About SLJ delays this isn't necessarily bad. Maybe they wait in order to gather the most common problems that appear after every chromium update before they issue an update. The point is that doesn't create such problems. Who knows.

@l33t4opera: Nothing, no errors. From my point of view, it seems like 76 bug. Cause as i wrote above, it works just fine on 75 as well as on Slimjet browser.
I just hope they pay some attention to it since ublock is a very popular extension with a large number of users.

@l33t4opera: Well, this browser can drive you nuts. After disabling the extensions it seemed that "uBlock Origin" (very important to me ) was 'causing the problem.
After trying a few times disabling-reenabling it (in order to be sure), suddenly the problem disappeared. I really have know idea what happened, do you?
I'll keep watching it to see how it goes and if needed i 'll write back. Though the "mystery" remains. Why now? Since i 've been using uBlock (more than 6 to 7 years now) this is the first time i faced such a problem. Don't know what to say.

About the second option, does it matter if i use a path to another hard drive? What if i create a new folder like "New Profile" for example into the original "Opera Software" folder? Would that be a problem?

Thank you for the tips anyway

Update: It seemed to good to be true, so ignore the first paragraph. It happened again.

@l33t4opera: A couple of seconds, after entering the home page (the one i 've mentioned). It passed my mind disabling extensions but i wonder 'cause it happens only in 76 while in 75 works just fine. I'll try your advises though i 'm not sure about the second one and espessialy about the (\Path\to\writable_dir\fresh_profile). Can you please be more specific? Thanks.

Don't know if it has any significance, but in "Slimjet" (with the same extensions) the page works just fine.

PS. Have you tried the page to check it out?

@l33t4opera: If this is the right one ("C:\Program Files\Opera\launcher.exe" --no-experiments), yes. Same msg again. It's the only site shows it by the way. Everything else works fine.

After upgrading to 76, i get the "This page crash" msg, for "https://eztv.re" site. No problem with 75...218, so i had to go back. Does anyone else faces a similar problem?

The only thing i need is disabling options for whatever you 're thinking. Just be careful while you keep adding new stuff not to end with a heavy (cpu & memory eating) browser.

@leocg What's not obvious. Don't you see the difference on the size within the tiles? I don't know about you but it surely doesn't look better to me. I prefer the previous style.
