@nottstu In settings open the Browser section, there you will see an option to disable automatic tab islands.

Got it thank you. Quite easy of course so don't know why I couldn't find it myself but I couldn't!

Bit puzzled about why they talk about 'groups' and 'islands' when they seem to mean the same thing, or am I missing sorething?

@nottstu Right there with you Bud

in android, on a pixel 6 pro, there is NO 3 dots

I cannot find a way into settings

I dug around best I could

I have used Opera since win95 if not longer, it was a fine product

Phone is Chrome only cuz opened pages remain findable

Really unhappy

@FucOpera Did you try clicking on the avatar icon and, then, in the gear one?

@FucOpera my Opera goes back to v1 & Win 3.1 - Opera 2, which memory seems to say was the first of any browser with tabs, was a big excitement.

With current options on phone I'm beginning to feel the temptation of how Chrome displays the open tabs list with big enough screenshots but I can't believe the Opera controls are totally inaccessible.

I get them by clicking on the icon that looks like it's meant to represent a head & shoulders in a circle, which pops up a menu that has browser settings and access to the gear icon that has more options.

You tried that?

@cska133 But why do you want a screenshot if the option is not available in your version of Opera?

What the screenshot would be for?
