The only feature i miss on Opera is an: Tab Split Screen !

Arc Browser do it
Vivaldi do it
Microsoft Edge will do it : https://mspoweruser.com/microsoft-is-testing-a-new-split-screen-feature-for-edge-browser/

Lot of users ask for it :

etc...

We currently have wide screens, and it's currently boring to always switch tab or always rearrange windows, and we no need an opera sidebar on each manually splits that we tinker with Windows, etc...

I like opera, but i'm near to leave it because there is not this basic function.

@islogged Opera had it on the early days, you could have several pages opened and displayed at the same time and place.

Yeah maybe, but why don't we have it anymore, when our screens are getting bigger and bigger.

I want a feature like that too. Let's not fall behind other browsers.

@islogged Browsers in general start using the tabs design and Opera stopped using the MDi model, also adopting the tabs one.

And, most probably, the demand for more than one tab content visible at the same has never been enough to justify the efforts to implement it.

@leocg Being able to split one tab horizontally with upper and lower panes independently scrollable has always been a useful feature to have, though browsers have generally seen fit not to implement it. It is especially useful when reading technical documents with diagrams or other details that you need to refer back to without losing where you are. I switch to Vivaldi for such tasks. There is an extension Tile Tabs for Chromium but the implementation is poor for my purposes. Firefox Classic had a good one back in the day.

This is an interesting option. As an idea, it could be as simple as selecting 2 tabs with "shift" key to do the magic (Sublime Text has an option like this).

Right now if I want 2 tabs at the same time, I open them in 2 windows and organize them in Windows or use the sidebar.
