Will Tab Islands come to Opera GX?

@sgunhouse I can wait, a delayed product is always better than a rushed one after all. I am just worried because in the announcement video tab islands was its main selling point so it felt like it was going to be an Opera One exclusive, that's all.

@sgunhouse So... we kinda reached the "couple months" amount. Is there anything new regarding tab islands?

@casibol If and when Opera GX will have tabs islands, we will know when there is a release with that feature.

Tab islands are not coming to GX for some time, what I find quite interesting and yet disappointing is that not only did they not decide to listen to their community when it was updating time or time to roll out a new feature, they decided on a panic button feature instead of tab grouping/tab islands.

When can we finally expect this feature?
Not at all, then I will delete my GX immediately and switch to the regular version.

@nedrapter Sorry, not in direct contact with them. You probably know as much as I do. At the time I thought since GX was 2 versions behind regular Opera that when we reached that version it would just show up, but we're well past that now.

@sgunhouse it's incredibly disappointing to hear such little communication from the Opera team on features like this when they advertise nonsense like the "fake my history" feature. What is the point of developing two (now diverging) browsers that are no longer cohesive with features and even simple QoL attributes?

@BobBobertson Isn't the idea of developing different browsers exactly be able to have different features on each of them?

@leocg I certainly agree with that statement. More specifically, I voiced my frustration about how it is difficult for users to request for certain features to be prevalent in both Opera and Opera GX. Any suggestions aside from these forums?

I know this probably doesn't mean much, but +1. I've been using Opera GX for the past four years, approximately, but something that has always really annoyed me is the lack of tab management that all other major browsers have. I know workspaces exist, but they function completely differently and, in my opinion, much worse. Tab islands being in regular Opera but not in Opera GX is infuriating, and if any developers browse the forums, let it be known that GX's users are frustrated.
