Does anyone else basically find that Workspaces are useless and don't do anything the way you'd want? The behavior with multiple windows and the inability just to open everything in a workspace in a new window is infuriating. The tab grouping feature can't come soon enough because whatever Workspaces were supposed to be I feel like it failed and was just a confusing mess. (In before a mod shows up to tell me the utterly useless phrase "Workspaces contain windows and tabs")

@leocg What is the difference between Workspaces and just having multiple windows?

@vegelund Exactly! If anything just opening new windows to do it is better because at least then you aren't expecting anything special to happen. Workspaces promise things and deliver nothing. Everything that @leocg described can be done by just putting those things in different windows and minimizing them. At least then you know where and when you can access it, unlike the lie of having a workspace exist in 2 different windows and share absolutely nothing. Doesn't even work well as a tab group until that feature rolls out.

Unable to see Mobile TabsOpera for computers
I like Opera so far, but honestly the fact that I can't see tabs open on Mobile is beginning to be a deal breaker. Looking at the forums this has been a known issue for at least 3 years so it doesn't seem like they plan on fixing it anytime soon. This is a feature Chrome and the like have had working pain free and easy for years. Anyone else considering switching back because of this or similar feature issues that the Opera team seem not to care about? On top of that while I was typing this their own forums site is broken in their own browser on mobile... not a good look.

RE: Workspaces don't do anything the way you'd want?Tab Islands, Tabs and Workspaces
@marqm There already exists something that you can open that doesn't have content already in it, it is a tab or new window. Why would we need another thing that accomplishes the same thing while poorly communicating what exactly it is for? Even after being explained what it is for I still think it is superfluous. Like why would I make a workspace with all that stuff for a specific search if it isn't something I could continue working on elsewhere? At that point I'd have to save the whole workspace on that specific computer as a bookmarks folder, what does the Workspace add to that?
