[Tip] Enable Improved and Stylish Bookmark Pop-up in Opera

If you are using Opera web browser, you might be aware of the fact that bookmarks management in Opera is not as good as found in other 3rd party web browsers such as Mozilla Firefox, Google Chrome, etc.

To improve bookmarks management and user interface, Opera team is regularly adding new features and functionality in newer versions of Opera such as the recent addition of Trash folder in Bookmarks which can be disabled using a hidden option present inside Opera Flags page as described here.

It seems Opera team is also working on a more advanced and stylish UI for the bookmark pop-up which appears when you add a new website to bookmarks.
