@andrew84 The combination of workspaces and tab islands may be what will make the difference for Opera.

There's an empty space between tabs and the upper edge of the screen that is not clickable and it's annoying.

@leocg: After all, it displays in the store that the last update was more than a year ago.

To be honest, I don't like modular design in current view.

Currently it looks too simple... Like bold rounded borders around the elements. More suitable for smart devices, which have display with rounded corners.

In my opinion, to separate the modules other methods should be used. For example, I'd prefer modules with semitransparent/blurred/frosted glass effect background on full screen wallpaper.

New tabs area design looks awful. Now there is a mess when many tabs are opened.
Also why there is so much empty space above tabs?

@skpy: tab scrolling has been missed out. I got the impression that 20 tabs was considered extreme...

I've just tried it out. I couldn't find how to manage and move the modules around. I'd love to have tab bar at the bottom. Also, I was excited for sidebar possibly accepting unlimited custom pages, but nope, still limited to 5 and hidden under flags...

Do we have any new feature other than UI redesign and modules?

@andrew84: Yes, this is also, I forgot to write that the strip is also obsolete, Opera developers, pay attention to this

OK, after a day of use. Tab islands. The fact that I have to hold CTRL, click on all the tabs and then right click and select "Create tab island", is terrible. Please, change that ASAP. We should drag and drop tabs like we used to when tab stacking was a thing. I hope the developers are reading this.

@firuz-u7 I don't know why they decided to separate modules too obviously.
The black rounded border around web page in dark mode looks weird to me(ugly, to be honest).
Personally, I prefer 'flat' design when visually all the UI's elements look solid. If I don't mistake, that was the main idea of Reborn 3 when sidebar, tabs strip, bookmarks bar look like a solid element.

Modular design is most probably good from technical side, but visually I still support the 'square' and flat design. I'd like to see only menu/context menu and popups with rounded corners.
Like I stated above, I was waiting more advanced visual effects. And I hoped they'll fix high contrasting black/white items highlighting in dropdowns and menus in dark mode.

Tab bar (with annoying scrolling disabled) look awful after upgrade and it's difficult to choose tabs when trying to arrange those to island. I agree with ghiramin wrote earlier too.

Those are my principles, and if you don't like them... well, I have others. ...

@thelittlebrowserthatcould: Tab scrolling is awful - I have it disabled. But large amount of tabs was not problem earlier. Now it is messed up and choosing tab is tricky.

@koimark: I dumped about 500 tabs into the new browser, and gave up in trying to organise them into workspaces, which is easy enough, though time-consuming, with earlier versions.

I am happy to have the option of (working) tab scrolling, and use the Tab Slider or, more recently the Most Recent Used Tab Stack (Chrome) extensions, using the option to send the current tab to the right with Most Recent Used Tab Stack.

I've looked at Vivaldi again, and I think it will provide the useability I need, and appearance options I prefer, over the coming years.

@thelittlebrowserthatcould I agree with previous commenter that tab scrolling is not suitable. I have important tabs at the start of tab bar and new temporary tabs are at the end. It is convenient to access tabs at the end and at the start but is annoying to scroll from start to end and back each time. I have 2 workspaces with more than 100 tabs in each (unfortunately things that I have to take care or handle coming faster than I can resolve them. Using bookmarks instead will guarantee that I will never recall about them)
