@Gateau Based on the image, either the site is blocking Opera or your connection.

Any difference if you enable VPN.

@Gateau Page loads here on 128.0.5807.77

@misterrr Just checked again.

With ad blocker on: video doesn't even show, its space is blank. With ad blocker off, I got a Media Element Error: Format Error message

That same message appears when I open the page on Chrome.

@chilly16 Opera One, Opera GX or Opera Air?

@scrapefour Vertical tabs is not a core feature. It would be interesting to have vertical tabs? Yes, but it's far from being a core feature.

It seems to me that vertical tabs are a pet feature for some users, maybe, I guess, those that can't close tabs and always have hundreds of them opened.

@scrapefour I'm just an user, so what I say or not doesn't matter on Opera's decision about getting back vertical tabs after 15, 20 years or not.

@scrapefour said:

Opera is already seeing a decline in users and is losing market share. Does the team seriously not care?

Opera's market share always had its ups and downs. There's no way to say that an eventual decline is exclusively because of vertical tabs.

Interesting article, thanks.

It's honestly astonishing that after hundreds of thousands of users public outcry for this one feature the official stance of the opera development team is. We don't use it so we don't need.

Where? When? I don't even see a thousand people asking for it in Opera.

And Opera never said that they won't add vertical to Opera Air, but it won't happen now, maybe because Opera Air was not designed for that.

They also never said that they wouldn't put vertical tabs back on their main browser.

@scrapefour And why it should be considered a core feature? Why should people even care about having vertical tabs on their browsers?

I don't really think that morre than 1%, maybe 2% of the users care or even know about vertical tabs.

There are just around 12 people asking for vertical tabs on this topic. Maybe there are another dozen around there in other topics.

@cska133 Features that are not available on a region do not appear on settings page for those on that region.
