Great, the address bar Top Sites nonsense is back, as is the separation of search suggestions, history and bookmarks. Was the flag nuked?
At least the Cities thing can be disabled, but I cannot for the life of me find a switch for the separators.

Edit: Nevermind, the Top Sites return the moment you just open up the address bar with a down arrow key press, and they blink away when starting to type. They're clearly not fully disabled and still load in the background anyway. The setting doesn't stick.

@g3-scorpio You're either not responding to the correct post, or not understanding my issue. I'm not using any conflicting extensions, and the problem is occuring only with the fast-tab feature enabled.
Either way, you're acting like a jerk.

@avl I'm on regular old Windows 10 x64, up to date consumer builds. It's been going on ever since the fast tab list got implemented.

The moment my mouse hovers over any tab and triggers the delayed popping up of the tab description / list of related tabs, shortcuts like ctrl+w or other current tab affecting ones lose focus, so to say. They'll not trigger; at best, they'll close the tooltip and list, and can then be repeated, once it's gone.

I'm happy to hear that there's finally a proper setting for it, though. That's all I ever asked for: Settings to let me decide if a feature is beneficial or detrimental to my workflow, and turn it on or off accordingly.

Today is probably the last day i'll be using Opera. The workaround for disabling the fast tab tooltips has been removed and i really hate the damned things. I want to relax when at home, not be constantly irritated by dreadful design on a browser. It may not seem like much, but sometimes the little things are what makes a real difference.

I'll drop in to see if you add a setting to disable them whilst i search yet again for a usable browser. I'm starting to run out of options....

I'm in a similar boat. I've been hoping they'd reimplement those flags or a setting for the fast tabs nonsense, but.... no dice so far. It's killing my workflow multiple times a day, especially since just hovering the mouse in the wrong spot disables keyboard shortcuts. And with a dual screen setup with two different resolution screens, I end up in the general area of the tab bar very often.

The removal of the #fast-tab-tooltip flag has just destroyed my usual browsing habit. I frequently browse dozens of reddit boards/threads, for example, or open countless image tabs.

This feature is torpedoing my productivity by constantly drawing long lists over my screen, over and over. It's neither needed nor helpful - especially when it shows the tooltip even on a single tab. Yes, thank you, I can infer what I've got open from seeing the favicon and tab title, I don't need another box for it.

It's unnecessary, and having a setting to disable if so required was the perfect solution (although I wish it had been moved from flags to proper settings). Removing it does nothing to improve satisfaction with the browser. My solution for now will be to look into downgrading to another version / channel to restore my productivity short-term.

@l33t4opera Really unhappy with the removal of #fast-tab-tooltip. As someone who browses a lot of different reddit boards simultaneously, for example, the list just conquers my screen whenever I dare hover over any reddit tab.

Please reinstate the flag / setting. It does not necessarily improve productivity to have a massive list of tab titles loading all the time.
