@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.

@wonghow What is tab groups for you? It seems to me your definition of tab groups may be different from the one most known and accepted by people.

@wonghow Workspaces are/were a way to group tabs that Opera implemented a while ago.
So, basically, workspaces and tab island are just different ways to group tabs.

Even opening different windows with different tabs are a way to group tabs

@andrew84 If I remember correctly, tab stacks were the name used when grouping tabs were originally created

If I can't get rid of the emoticons, I'll get rid of Opera!

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?

@andrew84 As far as I known, those Chromium settings were already removed.

@leocg I see in Stable (portable) but I don't see in Developer.
But it'd be better to leave and put the options to work instead of removing.

I just hovered over a tab and the Emoji's are still there.

@andrew84 The first one is a duplicate.. The second could be added, but I don't really know if it would be that useful.

@leocg
I designed and programmed GTK and QT apps. I know what are widgets and containers.
Workspace concept is not Group.
Workspace is a new space. Groups share same space. So tabs and groups are in the same space.

It may seem same to you because it is a browser, and all you see are tabs. Actually, your Groups and tabs are inside a workspace. The browser cannot do much in terms of workspace, is not fully utilised, that is why you think is a group.

A better example is the Desktop workspace. Although developers set launcher and wallpaper to shared across workspace, it can be different all together. Can have different widgets on differet workspaces. Not just grouping apps. Is space, same as when you have two tables. Each table has a box(group as in browser) of papers, but box is not a table.

The first one is a duplicate

If you mean the tab preview card and tab preview, I wouldn't say this is duplicate because tab preview shows a big image in the center of screen (+dimmed area) vs tile in the case of preview card. So users could decide what option is more suitable for them (or use both at the same time).

How do I get rid of this unwanted timewasting garbage? There is nothing in the settings to switch this off. When you search for 'emoji' there's nothing found. Every time I hover over a tab rolling eyes appear. I feel spied upon. Very uncomfortable.

BTW, can you developers look up the meaning of the English word 'can'? It is not a synonym for 'should', nor 'will' nor 'are obliged'. And certainly not for 'have no choice'.
