Split screen / Real profiles / Compact mode

Having tested Opera Air for a few days now, I have to say one thing : I really enjoy the transparency look and feel. I also like the Boosts and how we're able to adjust every element.

Now I do not understand the removal of split screen and tab island. For a mindful browser, it's hard to imagine that it could be more soothing to manage two windows side by side or to get lost in all the open pages.

I did find custom side panel in Opera's flags but not those two elements

Also why don't we still have a true native profile management (at least on macOS, in any Opera flavor) ? Wouldn't it be more relaxing to be able to truly start a personal browsing session without finding one's work-related bookmarks, account cookies, or history?

Finally, I'm a big fan of Safari's compact mode. I'm not sure whether this tweak is possible on a Chromium-based browser but give more space to the web page for a more minimalist approach would be really nice on Opera Air.

Opera Air aims to bring you a bit of zen at work. However, the removal of several productivity tools, which are present in the classic version of the browser, ultimately makes it more suitable for personal use at home rather than professional. It's a shame, because if there's one place where we're least likely to be stressed... it's at home.
