I've been using Opera for years. I chose this over chrome/firefox because of the super useful features like auto adblocker, copy option on text selecting and whatsapp/messenger on the side bar. But now I am seriously considering moving away from my long beloved browser.
Every time there is an update since version 100, I am terrified of what basic feature they would be removing now in order to appear more cool!!! First they disabled the feature of scrolling pages by clicking and dragging on the edge of the screen. You have to put the cursor at a small distance away from the edge to scroll. Then somehow they brought it back after a few days. But now with the latest update today, when I drag my mouse to scroll a page from the edge of the screen, as soon as I lift the click the mouse, the window splits in half on the right side. To make things worse, when I click on the button between minimize and close window (where the "make full screen" button should be), the window splits again, but this time on the top half of the pc screen.🥲
And now when I take my mouse to the top edge of the screen to select a tab, it just doesn't select it!!!!!! Again, you'd have to bring the cursor a bit down to select the tab.
On a side note, how do I know that the mighty Opera has launched another of it's revolutionary updates? Being a heavy Opera user, I normally pin it on my taskbar and start menu. With each update, the pins disappear and I have to re-pin them every time. In some cases, it also removes my login from the Opera profile. Gives you a brand new browser, how epic!!!
Seriously speaking, it appears that Opera is on a quest of figuring out innovative ways of annoying its users.
