please make smooth scrolling available for linux as well like firefox. I love opera but was forced to switch to firefox for lack of smooth scrolling support for linux. I understand there would hardly be any linux opera users, so this might be put on back burner. But when it happens I am coming back to opera as it love it. its the best browser ever..

I read something about work-spaces coming to Opera Desktop where tabs would be grouped. I am one of those who works with many tabs open. This would be the feature I'd love to have prioritised.

Can you please redesign the settings page? You did redesigned it in the past, but if anything, you made it worse. I cant find a thing in that mess without relying on search box.
And you dont even have to redesign it, just make more categories in the left sidebar for christ sake. You have there a lot of space... USE IT! Its a terrible settings page in this state. And I dont even wanna start about other unfinished things in this browser...
Its like having a storage cabinet with X amount of drawers, and you just mix every type of clothing in the first one.

@jojo0587: Hi, thank you for the question! Actually, we don't planning to add notes function. But thank you for the idea. For now, you can install one of the extension from the Opera addons store. Check it out here: https://addons.opera.com/en/search/?query=note

@andrew84: Hello, thank you for attention to browser functionality. We try to be up to date to the users preferences, actually we noticed that some features are not popular enough and could be excluded. Video pop-out feature is in a developing status and will be improved in the next releases. Thank you!

@olesiak Hello.
I have installed Opera Beta but don't find any reference to "workspace" in the tabs interface or in the settings. I the workspaces feature in the Beta? -

@leocg @olesiak As suggested, I installed Opera Developer instead of the Beta and have found the Workspace feature. The current Developer implementation requires the user to move tabs between workspaces by right-clicking on the tab & selecting the required workspace. Although this works it is a little cumbersome (3 mouse clicks). The most intuitive way to move a tab from one workspace to another will be to drag it to the new workspace, but I see this hasn't been implement. Will this gesture be added?
Also, the text label for the workspaces in the tab menu right-click is "Workspace 1" and "Workspace 2" and yet the workspace icons are a "star" and a "house". There should be consistent & intuitive naming & icons for the workspaces, like "1" and "2" icons or "W1" and "W2" icons or something similar. The Workspaces feature is one users will potentially use often and so it should be efficient to use. I am really looking forward to its final implementation.

@paul-durham: Happy that you found it! Please check the Sidebar in your browser, at the top of it you will see 2 icons Workspaces 1 and Workspaces 2. By click on icons you will be able to move between them. Also, you can change the icon for different one or add more workspaces by click on a three dots in the bottom of side panel. Let me know is it work for you!

@olesiak @zalex108 Thank you both, I found the "Sidebar options". I feel silly - I checked the "Sidebar Settings" but not the options.
I still think that the user should be able to drag a tab between workspaces.
I notice what appears to be a bug in Developer 67.0.3574.0. With Workspace 1 and 2 enabled, right-click on the sidebar & disable Workspace 1 and the icon disappears. Now right-click the sidebar again and try to re-enable Workspace 1 - it won't re-appear. The only way to get it back is to disable Workspace 2 and then re-enable Workspace-1.
