      @cska133 It's about disabling the new tabs design.

      And tabs islands is tabs groups.

              haha, I thought I was the only one doing thumb gymnastics with this new tab system! I ended up rage-deleting the update and rolling back to the older version.

              for now, I’m back in the comfy embrace of classic tabs, where everything makes sense and my fingers don’t need a yoga class. here’s hoping Opera wakes up and gives us the option to un-new things properly soon!

                @adnmluong226 @OperaUpdatesSuck I didn't like the new tabs and I was about to go back, but after a few days with them I find it useful.
                They are less pretty in black but there's the site icon now and when we open a link in a new tab, it automatically groups, it's cool.
                However the design could be better.

                  i am curious, what is the visual indication when tabs are groupped? Is there a dropdown arrow or something on the tab to indicate the groupped tab? Or how can I know that a certain tab "contains" many sites?

                    @cska133 They are preceeded by a color bar (when you click it, it reduces the group) and they are circled in a lighter background (not very visible but may be improved later). A tab still contains one site.
                    You can install Opera beta if you want to test without update your usual Opera.

                        @adnmluong226 Opera 88 Master browser is when they peaked.
                        The latest update is a laggy bubble waste of screen space like Opera one on pc...

                          @OperaUpdatesSuck No, there's no lag and no more space used. Stop lying.

                          @cska133 You should try. Someone already sent you to the page with photos.
