@kingaxol Make sure that you have at least one tab island. Then right click on a tab outside that island and choose move > <select the island>

Tab islands are tab groups that have a coloured pill thingy beside it. You can drag and drop one tab over the other and an group (tab island) will form

If your tabs look square and this doesn't work, you're likely on a version older than 100, which is when they added the grouping mechanism. Current version is 104.

This is what the tab area should look like:

pinned tabs, an open island and 3 closed islands

@kingaxol Ah, you forgot to provide a very important information: You are using Opera GX.

Tab islands are not available in Opera GX.

@kingaxol Well, it's defined as a gaming browser. It has some different features that are not available in regular Opera.

I'm not completely sure what gaming features it has, but I think it's supposed to spend less resources while you are gaming, I think, or something like that, but you know what else is great for that? Not opening the browser lol

The standard Opera browser was redesigned and rebranded as Opera One on version 100. It brought some new features including this grouping feature which is probably the only new feature beside the redesign that you will notice at first and probably the only new feature you will ever use in a daily basis. BTW, it may not show the Speed Dial button by default, but you can add it back in the settings

Try it out if you want. Just don't uninstall the GX variant yet, in case you don't get used to One.
