Also I believe there should be an option for tab islands to also be placed vertically and not just horizontally.
I've heard this idea from other neuro divergents (especially from ADHD spectrum) who for their own reasons feel more comfortable/effective at having vertical tab islands.
I'm assuming the idea is similair to what 'Vivaldi' does already. Posting photo for reference.
Tab stacking option would also be great for 'Opera Air) as shown here >> https://youtu.be/gSTqdOtKV5g

@WarMongerGamesMalta, I remember when part of the Opera team left to create Vivaldi—I even gave it a try, but in the end, I found myself coming back to Opera. My 20+ years with Opera have been a cycle of leaving and returning, always around those moments of major changes, removals, and returns of the very features that make people love this browser.
Back to the point—I fully support any improvements for neurodivergent users, because I feel like Opera Air was designed with us in mind. And as you rightly said, we’re on the spectrum, which means our needs can vary greatly. Personally, the solutions you propose wouldn’t work well for me—I use a 15” screen, and I’d lose too much space. But for those working on larger screens, it might be a great addition without any downside.
I’m actually curious—does the Opera team consult their ideas with neurodivergent users? That could be a game-changer in shaping Opera Air’s future.

Mlipka Opera last edited byHey Guys, your commitment and engagement is amazing! It's visible in those threads.
Regarding Tab Islands, as @MohamedSahal mentioned we love this feature too.We have many ideas on developing AIR, including tab islands. However, it can't be just a "copy".
For sure, we want it to be more AIR-like. So, it will happen in some way, but I can't share when exactly. -

@Mlipka Any predictions? It's been almost 6 months since this thread was created, and several people have already highlighted the importance of tab islands for productivity, which is the purpose of Opera Air. So, it could just be a copy, yes, it's better than not having one. It already worked very well in Opera One, so it will work well in Opera Air, which has a similar architecture
