@Zactom I've honestly just moved on to using Zen browser at this point. If the company can't be bothered to listen to its users or even respond after years, what's the point?

@BobBobertson I looked up zen browser, honestly I'm kinda interested in switching over, but can i import my bookmarks and things like that there? Also, from the website, it looks like its aimed more towards mac; do you know if you can get the tabs at the top like it usually is? because on the website it has the tabs located exclusively in the sidebar and I think it's a little too weird for me if there's no way to change that.

@kari-toby There is also ray browser which is also focused on gaming and litrelly has stumble guys in the browser! and other like krunkers and its kinda more optimised. But there is a lot less customization so if you wanna play online games straight from browseryou can do it

Guys, I have good news. in Sep. 2024, I reported a feature request on Opera GX's bug tracker ("Add tab islands."). Yesterday, they replied as follows:

Hello Dear User,

We have good news!

Tab islands are now available for beta testing in the latest Opera GX. Update your browser and enable it in Early Bird to try them out.

Regards,

The Opera GX Team

Let's hope the feature is well-made. We won in the end.

@TheBooker66 huge win, thank you for updating the chain here. I'm surprised it took this long but now I'm tempted to come back and give it a try.

@TheBooker66 they have, in fact, been added!! I have early bird enabled so i was able to use them already. They're not the absolute best; i still prefer chrome tab groups but since these tab islands are in beta stage they're likely to improve!

@kari-toby I can't seem to find it. How did you enable it? The only thing I can find is how to move tabs between workspaces.
