@himmelssheriff Same thing here. I've been using Opera as my primary browser for years. I've never commented here before and I wouldn't do it this time either, but I got an invitation so I decided to join the discussion and leave my observations. Obviously that is important to someone here, and it should be, considering that it's always good to have as much as possible direct feedbacks from users.

@andrew84 Well, maybe that is not obvious on 1080p, but on 2k monitor it is. Here is a comparison example extracted by ShareX app (3x zoomed) from which you can clearly see what is going on. It is subtle change (as it should be in my opinion) but it is there.

I expected to see this feature much earlier in Opera, but now that it's finally here, I have to admit that I don't like it at all. Firefox did a much better job, mostly because that effect is quite well measured and basically properly implemented. Not only that the images are properly sharpened there, but I have the impression that Firefox also adds a small grain from above as a compensation for JPEG compression, which is why the thumbnails look really great. However, in Opera with this feature activated, the images and thumbnails on the pages looks terrible on my 2k monitor, so I won't be using it until they fix this.

@himmelssheriff When we speak about image sharpness, in Firefox this feature is integrated by default. Put side by side Opera or Vivaldi and Firefox, and let's say open some page with a lot of images and thumbnails, like per example Artstation website and you will notice the difference immediately. Opera brings now Video sharpness, which is kinda OK, but still it's not perfect. Certain video files are more compressed than others, so to use only one setup for all of them it's not probably the best solution. Someone mentioned here slider option for this feature. I agree with that, or perhaps a possible option so that we can choose between two different sharpening algorithms (with and w/o grain effect) or as a bottom line, option for 3 level of sharpness at least.

@himmelssheriff Yeah, me too, but sadly with a grain of salt, mostly due to the fact that I don't have much of use from that feature at the moment.

A few days ago I started to get this kind of error...

ERR_ADDRESS_UNREACHABLE on any google service (search, gdrive, gmail, translate, etc...) It's working from Safari and other devices PC and phone, and when the VPN is activated. I don't have a clue why this has happened. I reinstalled Opera and it was the same situation after clean installation (no extensions used). Any suggestions?
