      @leocg If you install the beta version of Opera you can find that option on settings menu but if you disable it nothing happens. The popup window is still there. I've just tried it with Opera beta version 85.0.4341.13.

      This setting does work in dev version 87.0.4366.0 - you likely have to wait a little more then.
      Or you mean disabling entire popup? This not possible 😞 Here this setting disables just tabs list part of it; current tab description keeps popping up always.

        @donq I was talking about the entire popup. In the last versions it was possible to disable them from flags now you cant find the hover board tabs option. Its a shame that I have to give up on this browser but I have to. I've checked on dev version that you mentioned and yeah you're right you cant disable that popup. Given the fact that the dev version is like 3 versions ahead of stable opera its safe to say it will be a long time until maybe one dev will listen to these kind of complains. I'll check in a few months time. Until then I'll have to get used to Firefox.

            @daniellb The option is to disable the list of tabs from the same site. The pop-up with the page name/info can't be disabled, but it was never possible.

              In this latest stable version (85.0.4341.18) it can already be disabled. Which is located in Settings / Advanced / User Interface / "Show tabs from the same domain in tab tooltip".

                @noker612 That is helpful, but I don't want the pop-up title at all.

                  It was a flags option, so it absolutely was possible...not sure what you mean?

                  Theres a big difference between the word 'disabled' and what you've quoted there...

                    @leocg But it was possible by using flags. You could turn off the popup tab thing. Now the tab hoverboard or whatever it was called in flags is missing with no possibility to get it back for now at least.

                      @noker612 That option would turn off just the list not the entire popup thing.

                        @noker612 , Yea!. There's still that little pop up that shows info on just the current tab but that's not a problem to me. It was that long list that would completely obscure the page I was trying to read. Very happy that can be turned off now.

                          @peteee The pop-up existed before the fast tab tooltip have been introduced and there never was a setting to disable it.

                            @daniellb You also couldn't disable the old pop-up.

                                @leocg I'm talking about that big pop-up window that keeps showing when you hover the mouse above a tab. It's a fairly new feature. In the past, it was just a standard windows information pop-up. Small in comparison with this new one. Why can't we get back to that?

                                  Are we talking about the same thing: 95118674-10a1-4168-8813-01588d9be852-image.png - this is not very big popup IMO...

                                    @donq Yes that pop-up. It's very annoying. In the previous versions, we were able to disable that from the flags. I don't see why that is a thing. It's useless and it causes performance issues to relatively old computers. If you have a lot of open tabs when you switch from one tab to another the performance drops and it makes the browser more unstable.

                                        @daniellb It's not big, it's not that different from the original tooltip.

                                          Its way bigger than needs be. There's three empty lines, and the web address is unnecessary, so four times the size that it should be.
                                          Look at how Firefox do it and you'll see this is way over the top.

                                            To get things worst, if we use The Marvellous Suspender extension, we end up with the same list on every tab, because opera deals as they all belong to the same site.
