@komi-the-cat Yes! Or they could even put the inactive islands in grayscale

This has hindered my experience when having tabs with a video call + other tab that I'm working on or screen-sharing. The current workaround with creating a new window, closing the current tab, and opening it in that new window is a no-go.
Dragging tabs across windows can come later, but please provide a context menu option to move a tab between windows, at least; and as soon as possible.

@burnout426 Thanks for noticing. In deed opening tabs from the session of another device is not entirely a context group - island, that you want to create with "opera://activity" tab.

@komi-the-cat thanks for the feedback. We're still working on such details, especially contrasts. Some updates coming soon.

could you add the option to drag the islands, im one of those people that opens alot of tabs and closes few, so when i hear about this, i was excited, it works great but it would be nice if we could drag the whole island to re-order the groups instead of creating a new island and dragging everything from the old one over manually

Hello, agree with @IvanRosLiwe , it would be great to name the islands and to change colors

As @starstriker said, It would be really nice to be able to move islands and organize them properly. Definitely a must have feature.

If I close Opera (or it crashes), will my previously created tab islands be restored when I reopen it?
I am creating tab islands to group related websites that I use often, for example, those related to my various banking and investment activities. However, I would not want to go to all that trouble if I stand to lose them when Opera is closed.

@stephensmith999 If you close Opera, yes, your tab islands will be remembered.

@ghirahim Ok. The "tab Island" doesn't work, nor does the "stacking". Edge can do this, why not Opera...or Firefox for that matter!

@terryflorida Tabs island works here. If you say how it's not working, maybe someone can help.

@leocg Great! Island tabs might be the one feature that makes me switch to Opera from Chrome as my regular browser. I will have to use it awhile (and explore what else Opera has to offer) before deciding for sure, but this is a welcome idea.

@leocg I've followed the instructions (ctl + left click) over a test of 3 tabs to "tab island," but they don't connect to each other. Maybe I'm misunderstanding this.

@terryflorida The option to automatically create tabs islands is enabled?

I've no idea. Where is that option? I didn't even see that listed anywhere. -

@terryflorida It should be in the User Interface section of the settings page.

I have example.com, arstechnica.com, and hardforum.com tabs on the tab bar. example.com is focused. So, I ctrl + left-click arstechnica.com to select it too and repeat for hardforum.com. There are then 3 tabs selected. Then, I right-click on any of those selected tabs and choose "create tab island". That works fine for me and an island is created where those 3 tabs are moved into it.
At the URL
opera://settings/userInterface, I have "Automatically create tab islands" enabled. If I goto https://forums.opera.com/category/11/opera-for-windows, right-click a link for a thread and choose "open in new tab", an island is automatically created where the current tab and that new tab are moved into it. If I open another thread link in a new tab, that one is added to the existing island.So, all is working fine here for what it's worth.

Thank you. I looked, searched but found nothing in settings for Tab Islands. I still cannot do this task. I've reported this as a bug. I'm running on the latest Opera update, so I don't know what I've done to miss this part.
