      @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.

            @matrodSY Make sure you have the latest version (LVL 6 118.0.5461.50), open settings page and click on Early Bird.

                Ngl guys, I got no clue how to even use them. I enabled it in early bird, but I cant figure out how to group the tabs.
                I didnt have chrome or anything so even if they are similar it wouldnt help me.

                In what ways can I create groups?

                  @Neuffexx Tab Islands should be created automatically when you open a link in a new tab.

                  You can also select two tabs and use Create Island in the right click menu.

                    @leocg Got it thanks. I also realized I needed to restart the browser after enabling the feautres.
                    Would be great if we could assign a name or maybe emoji (like one of the tab features allows) to a tab island so we had something else to go by other than colour if the groups stack up.

                      @Neuffexx Wym with "to restart the browser after enabling the feautres"
                      I closed the tabs and restarted my computer, but I still can't use the islands.

                        @BalladsCx You enable tabs islands in Early Bird and restart the browser.

                          @leocg I didn't need to restart at all. Mind you, they aren't as obvious as in Opera One. I could only tell it was there when I was hovering the tab bar - a dot appeared after the island I was hovering. No differences in spacing or other cues when not hovering the tab bar.. If not for the dot, I wouldn't think it did anything. Must need some styling work yet,

                          When it's enabled, tabs opened from the same tab (as in, open links in new tabs) will be in the same island. Didn't try drag and drop to see if you could create an island that way.
