      these tab islands are terrible for my usage. How do I turn them off or roll back to a previous version of opera?

        @rmreddicks You don't have to use them.

          great feature, helps me to quickly find the needed tab, meanwhile doesn't make me to put effort into manual tab grouping

            Operating system: Windows 10

            Before the update:
            If we had lots of opened tabs we could still see the "X" button when we hover over a tab.

            After the update:
            But after the update, it doesn't show the "X" button when there are lots of open tabs even we hover over a tab.

              @shayan-01 FYI middle mouse button (or press the mouse scroll) closes a tab

                  I was experimenting the same confusion that most people here (If ain't broken, don't fix it!) and all I had to do was turning this complicated and unnecesary islands off and then access the opera://flags menu to get my scrolling bar back again.
                  I hope it helps!

                    @ryanbreed Thank you, I didn't know this. But I'm not comfortable with this solution.
                    Opera browser's UI is the best in my opinion and I expect it to be perfect.

                          Well, well, well... I think Tab Islands could be useful...if we can combine them with workspaces and tab strip scrolling.

                          I'm the kind of user who carries multiple tasks at time so I have like 100-200 tabs open. I appreciate the feature.

                            How do you turn Tab Islands off?
                            Never asked for them, didn't want them.
                            Was surprised when everything turned into Tab Islands! 😬😡🤮

                            And, what's this garbage? Just to ask a question? JHC!

                                Is there a way to change the colour handles? There should be, these default colours are upsetting me.

                                    @leocg: Could you suggest an answer to their question tho? I'm curious too since I've disabled tab islands in the settings, yet there is still a tab island in the bar...

                                    I love Opera, but it kills me that every "update" I have to dig through settings to try and return the browser to the way it worked prior

                                      @peteee The setting is for automatic create tab island when you open a link in a new tab. Disabling the setting doesn't disable the tab islands feature at all, but they will have to be manually created.
