      76 replies, 8 thousand views, not a single Opera response.

      This is an users' forum, you should not expect any answers from Opera here although it may happen ocasionally.

      The same discussion on Chrome - second answer is from Google - "thanks, we're thinking about it".
      Nuff said.

      This kind of answer may lead users to think that the feature will be imolemented, when it may not be true.

        I think they will "add" this feature when it will be implemented in Chrome, since nowadays Opera is just a fork of Google Chrome. My opinion: with a new engine it will take too many efforts for developers, therefore it will not be implemented in Opera independently. It also explains the silence from the developer's side - they do not want to "lose face".

          I am still using tab utilies add-on with Firefox ver 28 with tab stacking just because I must have tab stacking like when I used to use Opera. I love opera's focus for always focusing on speed and off the shelf usefulness. Please bring this tab stacking feature back. I suspect the the switch from presto to webkit engine is preventing this. Any thoughts?

            Vertical representation of tabs is far superior to horisontal one.

            You can view far more tabs in a vertical list and still have the ability to see tab names, which isn't possible with a lot of tabs on a tab bar.

            Now, several extensions already grant the ability to view tabs vertically.

            For Opera specifically: Tab Sidebar

            For Chrome and Opera: Tabs Outliner

            Both of these have tab stacking already.

            Duplicating this functionality for outdated method of representing tabs horisontally on a tab bar is just a waste of time.

              This topic is about tab stacking and not about vertical tab bar.

                I too would love to have this feature back - I have been using Vivaldi Browser for a while and they have it (I switched back to Opera just because its UI and page rendering is faster). It is awesome for managing tabs efficiently and I think many users would benefit from it.

                    I'm not seeing any other way to vote for suggestions around here, so I will say "+1 for Tab Grouping". 🙂

                      +1 for tab stacking - missing it since the old Opera 12!

                      I have open a lot of tabs from e.g. discogs.com and want stack them because I want to continue with them on the next day.

                      I can not use "open new window" because only the state of the last closed windows will be saved and re-opened after restart.

                      Note: New beta release of MS Edge will have "pinned tabs" ... but tab stacking more important!

                      Using Opera since version 6.

                        Yep.... Tab stacking is it! This is the thing. Best invention ever made to a browser, seriously.
                        People, bring it back, honestly, bring it back now!

                          I wonder why there is no tab stacking already. This is one of the most wanted feature from the begining of the new Opera. What is the issue about that feature? Why do developers waiting with that feature? Can someone explain what is the catch?

                            I really like Opera and have tried to stick with it for a while now, but after loosing my sessions two times in a short period of time after a incident with two tabs open. I dont care any more, you had the session saving from 12 and loved it. I will go over too a different provider until you bring it back as standard.

                                +1 for this request.

                                I came back to Opera browser after quite a while, such a shame they don't like to work on it anymore, like, they don't have enough funding? They closed their MyOpera page etc, and browser is 'too' simple. Are they gonna shut down completely?

                                    The feature disappeared when they made the re-write of the browser in Opera 15. They didn't explicitly remove it.

                                      Are there any comments from Opera devs concerning this topic?

                                        Nope. Chances of such feature to come back seem kinda low at the moment.

                                          Opera currently has the best set of features for my usage, the only feature I really miss is tab grouping/stacking 😕

                                            That's the ONE feature everybody in your userbase agrees on, that it's missing, and I can't understand why you ignore that for YEARS now!

                                            For me that feature is a dealbreaker:
                                            no tab stacking no new Opera.
