      The solution is actually deceptively simple, you just have to hold the tab you are dragging over the taskbar of the window you want to drag it into, until you see that the other tabs in that window move to make a space for it

        This works, you just need to drag the tab to the tab area of its new host window. Coming from Safari, I was confused too in the beginning but then realised it worked like this with Opera.

          There's also this neat feature called workspaces which you can access on the sidebar

            I have found an easy fix, simply right click gx corner which is on the top left and click "move to sidebar." Now it shouldn't cause you to create a new window when dragging a tab to another window.

                @grandmasterdoggo Well its not that deceptively easy, even trying everything and hovering it over the tabs, doesnt do anything no matter how long i hold it, it just creates a new window by letting it go.... it just doenst work on my browser for whatever reason. But it did work just a few days ago without problems was able to switch tabs to other windows just as in the chrome browser. Now it somehow doesnt work anymore like right a second after it was successfully done multiple times it stopped working after it.

                    I have the same issue, did anyone solve it? It's years already and it's still bugged? Can't move tab to another window on another screen....sometimes possible, sometimes can do totally nothing, it's really frustrating ;/

                      Moving the GX Corner to sidebar solved my problem.

                        The answer is to drag the tab from main window to your 2nd window on 2nd monitor, but the trick is to hold click and hover it above the + symbol on the other screen window for up to 2 seconds, you will then see the tab underneath move which means u can let go of left click now to drop it. Repeated test heaps of times, it works. nothing else works however

                          This recently started on my browser too. What you need to do is first right click on the tab you want to move. Then grab it with left mouse button to the other window.

                            @callmepadre7 i had the same problem,
                            what works for me is simply dragging the tab to the intended window and hovering it there for a bit, after that it reads as an existing tab

                              This is the right solution.

                                @callmepadre7 Yes, I'm having the same issue. But I need to work with several windows, so i'm switching to Chrome while it gets fixed.
