[Compilation] Discussions on Tab Emojis Feature Feedback

Tab Emojis

Annoying addition with no option for the end user to disable it. Why?

Opera often doesn't provide an option to disable new features when they're first introduced. Otherwise no one gives them a chance. So, we often have to deal with a feature until there's an option.

So, for now, just ignore it and don't set any emojis for tabs.

Emoji great idea, thanks. At last, I can diversify all my spreadsheet tabs. I thought.

But they are removed after closing the browser. So, what's the point if you don't save them between sessions?

I am dismayed to see these automatic emojis which can't be disabled. After some years of using Opera, I will be immediately replacing it with something else - Chrome, anything. As a dyslexic person I can't be doing with annoying, distracting additions like that. Totally unacceptable and useless. Is Opera not aware of neurodiversity issues? Lost a long time user.

This is not a bad idea in it's core but the execution is awful
Would be a better feature if:

• icons looked more profesional - lucide icons for example
• default set of icons were customizable
• feature was moved to tab context menu, not on hover - distracts a lot
• option to save icons state between sessions
• icons wouldn't be tilted (my OCD is through the roof looking at it)
• ability to disable this entirely present in settings

You could focus on tab islands instead - much more useful feature just add:

• names for islands (and emojis if you insist on them)
• customizable colors

@pissedoffaboutopera Make sure you have tha latest update (version 111 came out yesterday) and turn them off in Settings. If you're still on 110 then you xan't turn them off.

I'm Opera user since 2008. Some updates were good, some not so good.

But can somebody explain to me why I have to see a sh!t every time I hover any of the tabs? I'm using it for business. I'm using it while eating. I'm using it with my family. Why I have to be show a sh!t every time I hover a tab? WTF?!

@leocg - works in newest version [as @sgunhouse mentioned]. Just upgraded and turned off. I have no idea what it has been introduced for..

@buttermm To me it really only makes sense for streamers - people showing other people their desktop - which would make it more of a GX feature. As I said in another thread, the emoji wouldn't apply to any tab I'd keep open on my desktop.

This is my opinion on emojis:
I didn't like the idea of ​​emojis in the tabs. Whenever I install Opera again, I disable this function at the beginning. I would prefer to have the option of being able to name them so I can have better organization in my workflow.

I hope someone on the development team sees this humble suggestion and takes it forward.
