@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

I don't have currently any predictions.

What I meant by "in some way" it might also mean developing better solution for increasing productivity than tab islands.

@Mlipka Opera GX has flag to activate Tab Islands why don't you just let users do the same with Opera Air

@mixchild Because tabs islands is not implemented yet on Opera Air, most probably? Because Opera Air aims at a different audience that, maybe, don't need tabs islands at the moment?

@leocg Interesting, how come Tab Islands is the second most requested feature after Dark Mode? and after dark ambient implementation it's the number 1 most requested feature with 22K views, what is the point of this forum or opera blog if developers spend more time explaining why the feature isn't gonna be implemented than time it would take to integrate a flag to activate a function

@mixchild Views are not a synonym for request or support for the request.

Even for actual requests, the forum may not be the best parameter for measuring it since just a very few percentage of users post here.

@leocg so people who take their time of the day and post here aren't voicing wider user base's wish regarding to feature to organize tabs? Opera Air was suppose to be organization and simplicity. tab islands should have singular color white or gray

@mixchild Nope, they are voicing their own wishes.

Anyway, there's no way to know if something has a large amount of requests based only on forums posts.

@leocg There is yes - Views on forum and Upvotes on reddit - tab islands has the most views after dark mode which has been implemented already
