        +1 for workspaces / tab syncin accross devices.

        Plus, while we’re at it, could it be possible to manage opened tabs from a device from another device as well?!

        Let me give you my use case:

        • I have a bit more than 400 tabs opened on my phone (yeah, I know…)
        • I tend to read them on one of my pc, either Work or Home
        • It would make my life So Much Easier (!!!) if I could close the phone tabs I read on my pc from my pc !

        Because going through all my tabs on the phone and closing those I read on my pc is a bit annoying 🙂

        Also, cherry on the cake, could we have an option to filter out these tabs in the "Tabs"? Like by Most recent for example…

        Because Opera IS the best browser there is but this tab management/synchronisation is a bit IE6-like for now 😅

          I am using the pinboard Idea brought up to move tabs around for redoing a computer and it works well enough. For those wanting to open stuff in your computer from your cellphone, that's what flow is for, just send it to flow and then close it. If you have sync activated, you'll see all those tabs you wanted to open sitting right there. I too wish there was a way to sync workspaces specifically instead of using this pinboard go around, but, it works for now.

            Re: Syncing workspaces tabs

            Why is this still an issue that hasn't been addressed given Opera GX's focus on "gamer-friendly design"? Most dedicated gamers, even most at home workers, have more than one monitor. I only utilized workspaces because I believed I could easily call my groups together across multiple instances (I have one running for Browsing and one for Media across my three monitors), and the lack of sync is frankly absurd to me. This feature being natively included would make Opera an easy recommendation, but this has genuinely turned me off and I will begin searching for a new browser that can support genuine efficiency and multi-tasking. Does anyone have a fix to this that isn't the equivalent of creating a Google Doc of links (to hell with Pinboards) and sharing it to yourself? Am truly desperate.

                @pixelpaule To date, it is the same. It does not synchronize workspaces tabs, extensions, shortcuts, search engines, tabs of other devices (hidden), and so on.
                Opera is one of the best Chromium out there, but its sync engine is a real garbage and the main reason I’m going back to Brave.

                  Still no solution? I'm a bit frustrated.

                    @supremetele Edge Browser was my answer to that and many other shortcomings. Opera synchronization is one of the worst.

                      I agree with both your Comments. Opera's implementation of Tab Groups is very poor to put it politely. I couldn't wait any longer and have moved to Chrome; where Google's Tab Groups are what's expected; each Group has a Name, Colour and option to Sync (which reliably works too!!) Whilst Opera is no longer my default browser, I do have a Chrome Tab Group for accessing my many Opera Pinboards🙂 My view is that the Opera Devs have lost their way.

                        @prongs1 See my reply; move to Chrome and create a Tab Group for Pinboards?
