        @nottstu Right there with you Bud

        in android, on a pixel 6 pro, there is NO 3 dots

        I cannot find a way into settings

        I dug around best I could

        I have used Opera since win95 if not longer, it was a fine product

        Phone is Chrome only cuz opened pages remain findable

        Really unhappy

          @FucOpera Did you try clicking on the avatar icon and, then, in the gear one?

            @FucOpera my Opera goes back to v1 & Win 3.1 - Opera 2, which memory seems to say was the first of any browser with tabs, was a big excitement.

            With current options on phone I'm beginning to feel the temptation of how Chrome displays the open tabs list with big enough screenshots but I can't believe the Opera controls are totally inaccessible.

            I get them by clicking on the icon that looks like it's meant to represent a head & shoulders in a circle, which pops up a menu that has browser settings and access to the gear icon that has more options.

            You tried that?

                @leocg said in Tabs in groups - how do I stop it & disable automatic grouping:

                @nottstu In settings open the Browser section, there you will see an option to disable automatic tab islands.

                Could you please post a screenshot of that place in the settings

                          @cska133 But why do you want a screenshot if the option is not available in your version of Opera?

                          What the screenshot would be for?
