Very small tabs and element spacings

I think it's not very pretty and it's not practical because it's hard to get in quickly. You have to aim to hit a button or click on a tab. It would be cool if the regular tab was as tall as the tab in the island. It would also be nice to make the tabs a little longer and add more space between elements.

As in efficiently using screen real estate available for the browser and not wasting space?

That is on a level and pay grade above the design team at Opera.

@vegelund There is no point in efficiency if it is inconvenient to use. Now the interface looks like one big line: the window control buttons go to a tab icon, then immediately the text, the next tab, and so on. There is no air and no feeling that these are different elements

So I would go something like this

And my opinion is that the new tab button should look 'flat' like previously (square highlighted box on hover).
And it's not clear why in current design there's no separator line between new tab button and background tab.

Currently the bold cross inside the small white circle looks like medical cross.
