@mohamedsalah

Hey mohamedsalah, it’s mostly about ergonomics. Since the scrollbar is on the right and most users are right-handed, the right side feels much more natural and accessible. The left side is better suited for fixed, less frequently used options. Also, as andrew84 mentioned, there's a more detailed topic about this here, so let's continue the discussion there!

Agreed! I think it would be even better if it has tab islands feature so I can feel less overwhelmed when I am browsing, which is the purpose of Opera Air in the first place.

@mohamedsalah Vertical tabs is welcome, but when right-clicking on a tab, instead of the last (bottom) entry being "Reopen last closed tab" - which I think is a frequently invoked feature, it's now "Use vertical tab strip". I have repeatedly triggered vertical tab strip due to muscle memory, and at first had no idea how I got there, or how to undo it.

I think moving "Use vertical tab strip" higher up, away from single-tab specific features (close, close other tabs, close tabs to the right, and reopen closed tab) would make more sense since "vertical" is about all tabs, not just one.

Anyway, glad vertical is an option. Thanks to the Opera crew who made it happen.

Would be a nice quality-of-life upgrade. Automatically matching the system dark/light mode would save a lot of people from constantly switching it in settings.

@Skabedw geometry dash game said in Social media blocker:

The principal idea of Opera Air browser is really interesting and really good, a browser with mindfulness at its core and that focus on a more focused, balanced, and stress-free web is something amazing.

But I think that something that can bust this and make it even more grounbreaker is an option to temporary block or restrict the access to social media. Sometimes the urgence to check social media can be really distracting and stressful, so an option to restrict the access for specific time periods or similars could be really good.

Maybe an option that let us put specific social media sites to restrict, could work with a password to unblock them or some kind of game that can make us re-thing if is necessary or not access to them. Or just a timer. Or an option that let us navigate social media for an specific period of time, and when its over the site is restricted until an hour later or somehting like that.

A rough example could be the extension LeechBlock that does something similar. But something like this integrated directly in the browser following the vision that Opera Air has could be incredible.

Amazing job anyway!

I completely agree. A built-in social media limiter would fit perfectly with Opera Air's mindfulness goals. Features like timers, scheduled blocks, or intentional unlock prompts could help reduce impulsive checking and improve focus without completely removing access when it's genuinely needed.

If you're still wondering, here's a link for the official Opera browser with Qwant as the default search engine. It was created for French people but it's the same browser, and includes the English language.

Adding to this. Here is your answer. Vertical tabs is not coming and you should stop caring about it.

tabs tab island tab groups request missing

@Mlipka I tried using Opera Air for couple of hours, it's simply unusable, I know you have put a lot of work but but without organization tool such as tab islands it doesn't work - it can be just one color black or white, also no active tab indicator? why take away useful functions from opera one just for sake of minimalism

Hi @StrawberryLoveshake

I think you found a visual bug.
Whenever speed dials are disabled via settings, the search bar shifts towards right, instead of being centralized.

Removing speed dials 1by1 is a workaround true, anyway thanks for reporting, will look into that.

Cease adding frills to the reliably working setup. We are not reinventing the wheel nor replacing it with a totally improved modality. The expression of "it ain't broke, don't fix it "applies here. So leave well enough alone.
