Please check Chrome on this and bring a feature that can be useful for us. I just switched from Chrome, so this is a recommendation

The menu list height is also small have to surpass the window height.
But their is a interesting behavior:

many tabs opened from the same domain; mouse over one of the tabs and the menu will cover it; but if you move the cursor to other tab from the same domain, the menu adjust it self for the right height, not covering the tabs bar anymore. ]]>https://forums.opera.com/topic/88637/option-to-disable-the-expanded-tab-hover-menu-or-force-offset-positionhttps://forums.opera.com/topic/88637/option-to-disable-the-expanded-tab-hover-menu-or-force-offset-positionWed, 06 May 2026 17:58:49 GMT<![CDATA[Built in Media Save Option for Instagram Content in Opera Browser]]>I have been using Opera as my primary browser for content creation work and wanted to raise a suggestion that I think would benefit a lot of users. Instagram does not provide any native way to retrieve your own previously published photos or videos in original resolution which means users currently have to rely on browser based web tools as a workaround. It would be really useful if Opera could introduce a built in media save feature similar to how some browsers handle video detection that would allow users to save original quality media directly from social media pages without needing any third party tool or extension. Has anyone else felt the need for this kind of built in functionality in Opera.

This limits customization and user experience, especially for those who use multiple workspaces with different visual needs.

I would like to suggest implementing the ability to enable and configure Shades independently on each workspace or tab. This would allow users to apply the dimming or brightness adjustment filter only where needed, without affecting the rest of the browser.

Expected benefits:

  • Greater flexibility and customization for users.
  • Improved visual comfort by adapting brightness and tones according to the content or task in each workspace.
  • Facilitates multitasking in different visual environments without compromising the overall experience.

Use case example:
A user could have a workspace with very bright or eye-straining content and enable Shades only on that workspace, while keeping other workspaces with normal colors for other tasks, without the filter affecting the entire browser.

Additional use case example:
Another example is when a user has a workspace dedicated to gaming content and prefers to have Shades enabled to beautify the screen. However, they also have other workspaces used for school or work tasks, and it becomes annoying to constantly toggle Shades on and off when switching between workspaces for different activities because it interrupts their workflow.

Thank you very much for considering this suggestion. I hope it can be valued for future Opera GX updates.

hello, i think that it could be a good thing for the look of opera and a good feature (that every other browser have right now) and it would be a good privacy feature in the same time if someone is trying to search something on your computer... this feature would make opera looks cleaner showing just what you toggled on/off in the searchbar
