@andrew84 it seems that Opera on Presto had this feature since 10th version. Far better solution than the Ctrl+Tab cycler.

@andrew84 That was an awesome feature that I remember fondly.

@nadie-nada-nunca The current cycling popup would be acceptable too if it had an option to stay opened (no need to hold down the Ctrl key) and where I can cycle tabs using my mouse wheel. Also, it should open by clicking some button in the tabs bar area.

@andrew84: I remember this feature. It's useful mainly in big screens. Nowadays, Vivaldi has this feature.

Maybe.
But the same can be said about the current Ctrl+Tab tabs cycling popup

I checked it in Vivaldi, but it works in a different way, tabs (tiles) are still reduced in width.

On 1366x768 display, 100% page zoom in browser settings, I still can't see all the section of the BABE.
100% = 3 sections, 90% = 4 sections, 80% = 5 sections.

Analysing the .css code of the enhanced address bar, it seems easy to let users choose the BABE background color.

@kened I believe it will follow the theme.

Haven't tried to check out BABE until now. Silly question. How do you get BABE to show up? The address field drop-down looks old and doesn't show what opera://enhanced-address-bar shows. It's on in settings and the flag is set to the default of enabled. Explicitly setting the flag to on doesn't make a difference.

73.0.3820.0 64-bit on Windows 10 OS Version 2004 (Build 19041.508). Fresh profile. No extensions, no Opera Sync or anything.

@burnout426 You need to wait some time (while your top sites will be gathered), open sites, bookmarks and similar. I don't know if it's a bug or not.

@andrew84 Thanks. Finally got it. Took a lot to trigger it, but I got it. Thanks.

@burnout426: I've found by chance that the BABE can be forced using address opera://enhanced-address-bar

*I didn't expect that this is a web page, I thought this is a pane/popup.

@andrew84: I never tested with so many tabs.

@kened:
But the recent Opera's features (tabs cycling popup, workspaces, search in tabs) are aimed at so many tabs opened at the same time and they continue promoting it.

Thinking about the future and considering that the BABE is a "web page", we could have the BABE floating along with the address bar, perhaps in the center of the browser window. It could be triggered by a keyboard shortcut or it could have a button on the sidebar. With that, we would gain space on the screen and have a cleaner look.
