Opera --> New Stable Version Released!

Ars takes the new Opera R2020 browser for a spin

https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/202...-r2020-and-opera-touch-are-well-worth-a-look/

 

I seriously don't understand how this feature may come in handy. Any feedback?

 

I'm just glad they've fixed the snap version.

 

Well, it seems it's another feature to really be able to customize Opera, which isn't a bad thing at all. I don't care for the tab collection feature so I removed the 2nd Workspaces on the sidebar. In Sidebar settings, I couldn't ditch the Workspaces 1, though. Clicking on it didn't remove the check mark. The only viable thing on my sidebar is the bookmarks heart. There's a lot of stuff going on in Opera's interface, so to keep it sane, I mostly use the red O icon at the top left for everything else.

To each their own.

Edit: OK, to remove all Workspaces, I did the three dots on the lowermost part of the Sidebar. There, I could toggle off Workspaces altogether, and now my Sidebar has only my bookmarks. Wow, for a browser, Opera is a little complicated. A lot of redundancy but I like it.

What is Opera Browser Assistant and how to disable it?

Seriously, browser developers should stop with this crap.

I still need to check it out. But I don't like working with the sidebar. The idea itself isn't even that bad on second thought. But it should be implemented in a different way, I don't like to load tabs all at once.
