      Add tab island naming feature

      Not only naming. Color should be selectable too and pinning option, like it works in Edge if shortly speaking

        @healing-cross the numeral emojis could be useful to me, for ranking pages, but currently they don't display well enough for me to want to use them, and accessing their section is tedious.

          Completely useless and messes the X close tab button. Need option to disable immediately!

            The update to 110.0.5130.66 appears to have fixed the issue with closing tabs by clicking the X.

              @rogue-river: not really, some of us don't actually want tab islands in the first place.
              Nor do we want the obnoxious Aria icon in every single frigging text box.

              Opera is going downwards fast, sadly...

                @rick2 have you tried disabling "AI Prompts in text highlight popup" in Settings?

                  @neversaynotopanda I am starting to think that Opera has officially "jumped the shark".

                      What an irritation this is and there is no option to disable it. Come on Opera a lot of your users are grown-ups.

                        @rogue-river: naming tab island, is same as grouping, there is no point in naming them, because it is automatically grouped if came from the same source. Group tab is worse, you need to manually group them, waste of time, makes the titlebar a mess. That is why Opera has workspaces.

                          @rick2: purpose of tab island is to keep track of where you are reading from when you open a link in a new tab. I do not think you are going to use many of them. Tab island only shows when you need it, it is not you have to use it. There is no tab island when you just open a new tab, but you if you open links from a page into a newtab, that is when tab island activates.

                            @andrew84 Edge using is not tab island ! it is grouping. It is a different design, different purpose. Why do you want tab island to become group??? Grouping is for grouping websites in tabs. Tab island is for temporary page tracking.

                              @wonghow islands can be created manually and automatically (automatic is optional).

                              Edge using is not tab island !

                              So what's the difference when I overlap tabs in Edge to create a 'group' or overlap tabs to create an 'island' in Opera?

                              @wonghow said in You can now decorate your tabs with Emojis in Opera 😎:

                              Grouping is for grouping websites in tabs

                              In Edge tabs are grouped, not websites.

                              *Btw, Vivaldi also has workspaces feature and inside workspaces you can also group tabs. It can be called 'group' or 'island', but the logic is the same.

                                Not possible to disable? Dont see any reason to use this and dont want to se a smiling shit emoji every time I hoved over my tabs. So please add a option to disable it or at least just add simple colors.

                                    @wonghow: Tab groups can still be made and named automatically. You can use the originating tab for the name of the tab island. Also, have you seen the "Organize tab" feature in Edge? It uses AI to group dozens of related tabs with a single click. And it works!

                                      @wonghow: There is no difference between tab islands and tab groups. Wake up to reality. Tab Islands is just a marketing name by Opera. You can even use Chromium tab group extensions, and it will work with Opera tab islands, hence proving the point that Opera tab islands are still Chromium tab groups in a different appearance.

                                          @rogue-river that is why you are not understanding. Naming is for groups. Island is temporay use, you cannot save it, and not supposed to. Island is when you open links on a page into newtab, that is an action by human not AI. AI cannot know you opened a link from a page, then repeat again, and continue the same way. Edge AI grouping with a click is not grouping by links that came from. Eg. you open a link in gmail into a newtab, it is not related in anyway to be grouped by AI, one is mail and other one is not. It only can be tabisland, becuse you click the link into another newtab.

                                          What is marketing name? Tab island design and purpose is totally different. You need to do some programming to understand.

                                            @rogue-river modifying a function using extension does not prove any point, that the design was the same, because is being modified. Tabisland is a group by links clicked nothing else. Group Tab is grouping websites by you and save for later use.
                                            Group tab is messy, shares same space as other tabs in the titlebar. Opera workspace is advanced tidy grouping of tabs.

                                            Group Tabs can even group unrelated websites, content. That is not tabisland, to say is the same is out of this world.
