I just made this account after using Opera for the past decade. It was the only browser I've used but this "feature" that Chromium based browsers implemented and blocked the ability to disable is the worst thing that happened. I just can't get my head around why? Why in the name of all saints every single chromium based browser implemented this feature and disable the option to get rid of it? From Opera to Chrome and even Edge. I just cant understand and it bothers me that neither Opera devs or other browsers devs wont bother with fixing this worst feature in the history of browsers. In all cases the forum admins responds that the option is gone but wont say why or if they will get that option back. I've switched to Firefox for now. This is the only one that it doesn't have that horror feature. If Opera will decide to eliminate or at least implement that option to remove it then I'll switch back. I've seen hundreds of posts and people complaining about this issue on other forums too but still no fix.

@donq I was talking about the entire popup. In the last versions it was possible to disable them from flags now you cant find the hover board tabs option. Its a shame that I have to give up on this browser but I have to. I've checked on dev version that you mentioned and yeah you're right you cant disable that popup. Given the fact that the dev version is like 3 versions ahead of stable opera its safe to say it will be a long time until maybe one dev will listen to these kind of complains. I'll check in a few months time. Until then I'll have to get used to Firefox.

@donq Yes that pop-up. It's very annoying. In the previous versions, we were able to disable that from the flags. I don't see why that is a thing. It's useless and it causes performance issues to relatively old computers. If you have a lot of open tabs when you switch from one tab to another the performance drops and it makes the browser more unstable.

@noker612 That option would turn off just the list not the entire popup thing.

@leocg But it was possible by using flags. You could turn off the popup tab thing. Now the tab hoverboard or whatever it was called in flags is missing with no possibility to get it back for now at least.
