@leocg What I have found so confusing during this process is the failure of the documentation to clearly point out that workspaces are separate windows, not stored memories of windows that are evoked like other browsers.

How do we just surf? browse for stuff not associated with 'workspaces'?

And I'm also concered about the massive amount of memory Opera's taking to run so quick. It caches everything and takes a while to reopen all the tabs in the various workspaces when it opens up. It takes a minute or two to populate the workspace/windows on startup..

I do appreciate your help and thank you.

@leocg I've been learning by leaps and bounds. It seems that every workspace is an open window and that I must keep tabs open when I quit to keep them from all closing. hmm. Does that mean that all tabs are open all the time?

Activity monitor shows an incredible 15.88
GB of app memory and actual 20+gb of memory used for dozens of opera helpersetc.

it looks like every window open in opera is assigned a workspace -- no place I can surf without adding everything to the assigned workspace. What am I missing here? Do I need a surfing workspace?

@leocg NO. just one.

@leocg mostly everythign except 'move to', though on one window with a set of tabs, i do have the 'move to' only it only lists "island". Im very confused about the difference between island, workspace and speed dial.

workspaces are not in the sidebar on my Intel mac 2020 running OS 15.0. There is no "move to >" in the right click on tab dropdown menu. There are no workspace icons ion the sidebar other than the initial one with the "home" icon. I have three workspaces defined with individual icons and none appear in the sidebar. Any ideas?

@leocg furthermore, the workspace icons do not appear under the home icon like i see in various pictures of the sidebar online.
