          The number of 5 workspaces is really low.
          For example - I learn the node JS and some related topics, also have some non-related pages open:

          1. irrelevant pages, like news, facebook and so on..
          2. NodeJS
          3. Bootstrap
          4. MongoDB
          5. DataTables, Chart.JS and other components

          and I tried to make some other workspace for researches I doing right now - like security cameras and garden/planting - but I cannot make a new (6th and 7th) workspaces...

            @burnout426 I also would like this feature. Sometimes you open a number of tabs in one context realizing you didn't do it in the right workspace, then how do you move them? Now it's very tedious: you have to right click and select a submenu under "Move tab to workspace" -> workspace. After 10 or so tabs this becomes more work than it is worth.

            So feature request, I second:

            1. Shift-Click multiple tabs to select MULTIPLE tabs and then right click move to workspace
            2. Also set up a keyboard SHORTCUT move to workspace (e.g. Ctrl-Shift-1 etc...) for current tab or selected tabs (see #1).

            Thanks!

              That feature already exists: select tabs > right click on a tab > "Move tabs to workspace" > select workspace
              It's the drag and drop that is missing.

                    The main things I would like to see in regards to workspaces are ways to differentiate them. In Opera GX, you are able to set a custom color theme, but this stays the same across the two workspaces I have set up. This is the same with the new tab page wallpaper. For example, having a dark background & red accents for the procrastination tab, & light wallpaper, green accents for work.
                    (I don't think these features exist in the reguar Opera browser, but it would be nice to have in GX)

                    The other big thing is separate pinned sites (in Speed Dial) per workspace. Not much point pinning Facebook, Twitch & YouTube if they're going to show up when you're supposed to be working.

                      Yeah, workspaces are pretty cool, but why is there a limit for workspaces? Couldn't it be just like opening tabs? (you can open as many as your PC can handle, right?)

                      By the way, my friend has multiple Microsoft Teams accounts, but Teams won't let two accounts log in from the same browser, and sadly Workspaces don't enable this "different session" feature...

                      I also have issues with the poor Google way of linking stuff. I have 3 accounts, one is my main, the other is for "business" and the third is for university stuff. I have meetings in the third account. Google always open it in the main account. If workspaces were different sessions, this wouldn't be a problem.

                      It would be nice to open a Workspace as a different session/cache/everything (if enabled somehow). Moving tabs could ask for "do you want to copy and reload with workspace session data or move and reload?" being one cloning the tab keeping the page saved in current workspace (so you don't lose stuff accidentally) and the other copy link, close tab and load on the other workspace.

                      For now he is using Edge because each personal account has its data, so he can login on multiple microsoft stuff at the same time. I'm using Edge for meeting and Opera for common stuff... ;-;

                      This is an awesome signature (please clap)

                        @slashdot it's not killer features.
                        killer frature would be adding custom group rules and automatically move tab to appropriate workspace. As it done in Tab Groups Extension for Crhome.
