Suggestion: workspaces tab on tab strip

Maybe it will be good to have Workspaces tab/button (optional in Settings) on tab strip when sidebar is disabled? I saw it on vivaldi's demo and liked it.

*Currently there's direct dependency between workspaces and sidebar. If I want using workspaces, I have to keep the sidebar enabled.

@andrew84 Sounds strange to me. A workspaces menu would be better.

@leocg You can call it 'menu' if you wish. The main idea is to quickly view the dropdown with workspaces list and also be aware what workspace is currently selected without using the sidebar.
Or you mean that it'd better to place it as a separate button somewhere in toolbar or as an entry in OMenu.

*Workspaces feature seems more intuitive and clear to me than the islands for organizing tabs to avoid tab strip cluttering. It was unique feature but its improving stopped for some reason, drag and drop tabs into workspaces is still disabled by default. Now the feature is not unique anymore because workspaces are also in Edge and in Vivaldi already

@andrew84 My point is that it shouldn't be in tabs bar, but in the main menu. Or even in a separated one outside of tabs bar.

And I think that tab islands are to be and can be used together with workspaces.

@leocg Ok. But in both Edge and Vivaldi this is located on tab strip and I provided screenshot from Vivaldi.
Personally, I find it logical because workspaces are directly related to tabs management. It could be on the right also side but there already reserved by searchTabs button.

@andrew84 I think it might confuse people, who may guess that they are just opening some grouped tabs that were collapsed instead of a different workspace.

@leocg Obviously the button's style should differ from this how tabs or tab islands look like.
