Opera unveils Opera One, an entirely redesigned browser

I've used Opera One for a couple of days now, and I mostly love it! I just have a few thoughts/feedback regarding the tab islands:
- It would be useful to be able to drag an island with the mouse, to better position it amongst other tabs.
- Not sure if this has been fixed already, but the the open/close state of an island should be remembered upon restarting Opera or when switching workspaces.
- Sending a tab island to a different workspace would be useful.
- Having the option to name an island would be useful (similar to Edge).
- Depending on the monitor, room lighting, dark-mode, etc... it's sometimes hard to see, which tabs are actually inside of an island or if an island is open/closed. In Edge, for example, it's easier to distinguish with the colored stripe at the top.
- Similarly to the previous point, it's currently really hard for me to see which tab is active (in dark-mode). And also the hover state is barely visible. I feel like the light-mode has better contrast.
Otherwise I really like the new look.

@nuiin: Not that I'm completely happy with the current Opera design, but I definitely haven't been "overwhelmed...by the messiness of so many open tabs." For me, that's only a temporary situation and otherwise a bookmark program works for better control. Someone commented here that One is for 2023. That's the justification given for every bad new design (starting with MS's ribbon). New (or change) doesn't necessarily mean better (especially given that we still live in the era of the Me Generation -- and its designers). Been using Opera since 2006, so will give the One a try at an appropriate time. I'd hate to have to switch to one of the other browsers, none of which fit my needs overall.

I made a suggestion regarding this in the Forums and a Moderator told me that this was something that was planned to be added. But yes I agree with you that would be an amazing thing to get whenever it's ready.

@thatoneunoriginal That's great! Good to know that's something they're planning to implement. Overall I'm just glad that tab grouping is back.

Also, please bring back Speed Dial button to the Address Bar (next to Reload button)!
Edit: Also it would be nice if tools icons in Sidebar are back to their top position... -
thelittlebrowserthatcould last edited by@cz4rek I like having "many ways to skin a cat" but aren't the New Tab button and Alt+Home or Ctr+T keyboard shortcuts sufficient?

Edit: Also it would be nice if tools icons in Sidebar are back to their top position...Make it a home button like in Vivaldi and other browsers that will take you to whatever you have set as your start page(s), including speed dial if that's what one wants.

It was like this for years. So, what's the reason for removing it? At least they should give us an option.
