#scrollable-tab-strip enabled but not working/crashing browser

I'm using Opera GX and have enabled #scrollable-tab-strip in the flags and I restart it and then go into the browser settings and look for the "Enable tab scrolling when many tabs are open" option and go to enable it but it immediately crashes the browser and restarts but the setting doesnt retain and its an endless loop.

Any help would be appreciated.

@Michlee Maybe that's why it's not enabled by default yet?

@leocg but wasnt this working perfectly fine not too long ago? Because I used gx a bit ago but then switched to regular opera but now its not even working for me so I would like to switch to gx but since the scrollable tabstrip isnt working its just not possible.

Its just weird cuz so many people online just say they enabled it and stuff and it just works (like it should and how it does in regular opera) so I was just wondering if thats like a normal thing.

@Michlee Flags are experiments, features and tools that are still in development and may even end up not being implemented.

And since they are experiments and are in development, what works today may not work tomorrow.

In Opera One, that flag is enabled by default.

@leocg that makes sense and I wish I could use the regular opera but its stuck in an endless cycle of me opening it and it freezing after a couple a seconds that I tried to fix with the help of the people on the forum but nothing worked.

Do you happen to know how to activate the tab scroller on the top of the tabs? I did it a long time ago I think on the opera browser but I dont know what its called or where it is to re-enable it.

@Michlee That flag isn't exactly for that, to allow scrolling of tabs?

@leocg no no like there is scrollable tabstrip which allows the scrolling of tabs when there are too many and then there is a horizontal scroll bar like the vertical ones on webpages (I provided example image below) you can see the horizontal scroll bar for the tabs on the most top part

@Michlee Never saw that horizontal line, I guess it's related to scrollable tab strip.

@leocg ya I completely forgot how it got there if I enabled it some how or it just came with scrollable tabstrip somehow

On a slightly random note, is there any way to block updates on Opera GX? Because I'm personally not updating unless and until this flag is fixed.
