      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.

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

                    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.

                        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'.

                                    @waltx I totally agree. This is the dumbest most annoying thing I've seen on Opera. Need a way to opt out.

                                        @scsi111 Opera Developer was just updated to have a flag at the URL opera://flags to disable it.

                                        Until Opera Stable gets that flag, you can disable it on the command-line. For example, you can right-click on your desktop, goto "New", choose "Shortcut", point it to opera.exe in the install folder, name the shortcut what you want and click finish. Then, you can right-click on the shortcut, goto "properties", switch to the "Shortcut" tab and add a space and --with-feature:tab-art=off to the end of the target field value. Then, when you start Opera with that shortcut, the feature will be disabled.

                                        For example:

                                        "C:\Users\yourusername\AppData\Local\Programs\Opera\opera.exe" --with-feature:tab-art=off
