You can now decorate your tabs with Emojis in Opera 😎

@wonghow said:
group of tabs can group anything you put together, even is not related in any way.
You can do it in tab islands too.
And what is wrong of being automatic? island is for tracking links opened in newtabs, group tab is for grouping
Automatic creation of tab groups needs to have some parameters. In a initial implementation, that parameter is the fact that the new tabs were opened from the same page. However, in the future, maybe it can be defined that they will be opened based on domain, date, whatever.
If you disable automatic creation of tab islands, you can do those things manually.
Did Opera called it Group, no, only you people insist island is a group, so to call it a Group
Tab Islands do exactly the same that Tab Groups, created by Opera about twenty years ago, used to do.

@leocg your reply is incorrect. you don't even know the basic working of tab island. And Opera already made workspace replaced groups, and you still requesting group features. Group is old. Workspace surpasses Groups.
Tab island cannot group anything together. It must exist first by clicking on a link in newtab, is not suppose for you to drag any other tabs to it, even though you can. It is designed for tracking links. Group, needless to say again, can group any existing tabs.
disabling creation of tabs by link, do manually is losing the function of tabisland.
Do you think if you reply makes you correct? So there is no point in replying because Workspace replaces group. If you want to use groups use other browsers, is that simple.

@wonghow So the islands are based on Chrome's groups but just modified to support automatic creation.
When auto is turned off then it's 100% group, so those who use it in manual mode (and those who don't use workspace because it requires sidebar using) request naming, color selection and etc.
As said before, Vivaldi also uses both 'workspaces' and groups but there it's called 'stacks'.
The fact that many users request naming, color select and etc. tells that the feature is narrowly targeted and fully rely on auto mode (which is optional) instead of being universal feature. And all the current complaints were yet predictable at the stage of development.

@wonghow I know what Tab Islands are for, that's how I know I don't want them
I have no use for Tab Islands amd I have disabled them in my config.Edit: sorry, sent the post before finishing it
But! If I drag a tab and drop it on top of another tab, guess what happens?
A new Tab Island is created!Again: I don't want Tab Islands, I have no use for them, it's very annoying when they're created by mistake, and Opera doesn't provide an option to completely disable them
They're turning a browser I have used for years into a bloated PoS with every new "feature" added.
I'm sorry to say this, I really am, but I'm seriously considering switching to Firefox because I feel I'm constantly battilng Opera, not using it.

Healing-Cross last edited by@andrew84 Yes, that's true. Vivaldi has them, too. And even for a whole lot longer than Opera (Chromium).
I myself find them more pleasant to the eye in Opera, actually, as I realized lately, when I gave Vivaldi another shot. Vivaldi's tab stacks can be arranged in very different ways, only one "accordeon mode" might be correctly compared to Opera's tab islands.
I myself don't rely on both very much honestly. I seldom open more than ten tabs per workspace, rather less than that. So for me it's more gimmicky than a real feature.
In this sense I feel that Vivaldi has far to many customization options for people like me. -

Yup, it's disabled from day 1.Now, I have received an update to Opera Stable yesterday (110.0.5130.66, I had missed the announcement) and at least in this text box and 2 others I tried, the Aria icon is not shown, so maybe they fixed it.

If this feature is useful for someone at all, it could just be disabled by default, opt-in.

I have rolled back and locked in to Version 110.0.5130.49 until this stupid tab emoji bullshit has a "off" option. WTF were you thinking?

You should make the emojis feature optional and make the tab hover cards toggles to work in Opera.
Why the toggles in Settings but it doesn't work?
