Do more on the web, with a fast and secure browser!
Download Opera browser with:
@bandiit 100% percent this, it's nice but animations (pretty much any kind) do not belong to purely functional software like internet browser. They're nice in certain websites, like portfolios and that's pretty much it.
No other software (or webpages) designed for actual work has any animations - for good reasons. They are distracting and waste your time.
And workspaces has word "work" right there! 
seconding "save and restore"/ "color code workspaces" ideas.
Also - a little number next to workspace icon indicating how many tabs are open inside. Or just some indication that there are ANY tabs opened would be nice.
Because how it is now, you open some tabs in second workspace, switch to first, do some work.. and forget about tabs in second workspace altogether 
otherwise - perfect feature 
Second this.. sooo annoying.
I can't understand why would you ever REMOVE functionality as simple and useful as this. What are you gonna remove next? Speed dial?
@leocg Didn't know that - but then again, I never really thought about that till now. Makes sense though I guess - this way, they don't spend money which could be used to remove some useful functionality like this.
Yeah, why would they? 
(phew.. that's a lot sarcasm)
@algon but they added an option to use custom image which is great
But otherwise I agree, though I don't mind the icons instead of colored tiles, but having more options would be great.
Main issue for me is the border radius of thumbnails - it's too large, not saving space, you just see less of that thumbnail. The old radius was juuuust right.
I think better solution would be to just come up with more themes
Almost the same issue as this

@ant8672 said in Is it possible to hide the sidebar when websites are opened?:
I will now have to actually learn the keyboard shortcuts for the Downloads, Bookmarks, Settings, Extensions, etc instead of accessing them from the O menu.
I am thinking the same I already use shortcut to access history, don't really need to access downloads (icon in toolbar is enough), no need to access extensions, My Flow, search.. Still, it would be really nice if they just gave us back the possibility to pin/unpin sidebar as before!
How about some (optional) indication that I have some tabs opened in other workspace?
I don't use them that often so it's easy to forget I have some tabs opened there.. just a small red dot in the corner (like messenger and whatsapp have) - could be turned off/on in the settings.
Another thing: switching between workspaces is unnecessarily long because of the animation. At least give us an option to disable it. Yeah it looks nice and fancy.. the first time
I love automatic tab islands, that's nice addition
@leocg Moderators on official opera forum don't work for Opera? Isn't that a little odd? Can you at least get someone from Opera to respond to this?
@johncaltin No, this extra space wasn't there before last update so your response doesn't really make sense.
I don't understand this, why add this extra useless space??
@mixchild I agree.. though maybe it could be a simple option in settings - always show first page from the island
Re: [Suggestion] Customize tab islands shape
It can be really pain in the ass trying to click on those few pixels of that rectangle, just give us some more options, like:
As some topics here already suggested: option to give it a name and then keep that name visible at all times
option to change the shape to something wider, like a circle, box, or simply wider rectangle
I believe function should be primary objective of internet browser, not it's design.. all these changes look to be design oriented first, function second.
