<![CDATA[Option to place Vertical Tabs on the right side of the screen]]>First of all, I would like to praise the new Vertical Tabs feature in the latest update. Funnily enough, just a few months ago, I was actually thinking about this exact concept myself. While the current implementation is not precisely how I envisioned it, you did an amazing job, and you deserve huge respect for moving the browser in the right direction! It is a fantastic feature, and as far as I know, no other browser offers such a refined implementation yet.
I am writing to formally request a small but highly impactful layout improvement to perfect this feature. It would be incredibly useful to have an optional setting that allows users to permanently dock the Vertical Tabs panel on the right side of the screen instead of the left.
Having the tabs on the right side aligns perfectly with the workflow and would greatly improve accessibility while browsing.
Thank you for your continuous work on improving Opera, and I hope you will consider adding this toggle option in a future update.

Hey mohamedsalah, it’s mostly about ergonomics. Since the scrollbar is on the right and most users are right-handed, the right side feels much more natural and accessible. The left side is better suited for fixed, less frequently used options. Also, as andrew84 mentioned, there's a more detailed topic about this here, so let's continue the discussion there!
