• The feature I'm requesting is a feature that is currently in Google Chrome which enables more customization and convenience by having tabs grouped together and being able to collapse it as you see fit.

• This feature should be implemented to maintain the image of customization and control the Opera GX browser promotes and it is something that would ease people to changing browsers more conveniently.

@leocg I tried workspaces but it is very intransparent as you never really know that there actually is something in a workspace unless you open it and look inside. I really wanted to get accustomed to it, but I rather just used different windows instead, because 1: you know there IS a window with extra content and it is actually used. 2: windows lets you "peek" and see whats inisde in that windows.

But Tab groups are right there besides the other tabs and super quickly accessible. It just speeds up the tedious work of managing your open webpages tremendously.

I first saw this on my Spanish colleagues computer who is using chrome. Then I had to work on two different Jira accounts and have used Edge for that which also has this feature and experienced it myself.

Tab grouping, like Chrome and Edge does it, may be the biggest killer feature for someone like me, a freelancer and private person, working on multiple projects at once and having so many tabs to manage.

And I really tried to use workspaces, but it's essentially not really different to use multiple windows.
You can achieve many tasks in different ways, they only difference is the User Experience. And the UX for tab groups is excellent compared to every other tried solution I came across so far (being on the internet since 1996)

@ninili You may not remember what tabs and/or windows you have opened in a workspace, but based on the icon and name you've chose for it you can imagine what to find out there.

It also helps you focusing in something, in a theme. For me, workspaces are better than tabs groups.

Anyway, I was just informing a fact when I wrote that post seven months ago.

I suggest creating the function of tabs in groups.
I use extensions and don't work very .-.

Re: [Suggestion] Tab Groups

Hello

I think Tab Groups is an amazing feature to add.
I really like workspace, but like its name, it's a workspace, and in a space, you would like to group things.

The claim that workspace is operas "tabs group" implementation... well... is sad.

One difference is - I can have many windows, in tab groups, I can have a different tab group for different windows.
but with workspaces I am stuck with the same workspaces on all windows.

Now consider this use case. I have a workspace where I hold all my tv shows, other workspaces for studying, and another for whatever.
wouldn't it be cool if I could group the courses? wouldn't it be cool if I could group the shows?
Sadly if I want to do this with workspaces I would have a very large amount of them, and won't be able to switch with ease even if I use shortcuts....

Point is, workspaces and tab groups are different (in use, in name, in ability). regardless of the intent, seems like there is a real use for it (and many post, requests and such) and I think it would be a good thing to implement it.
