@BobBobertson I looked up zen browser, honestly I'm kinda interested in switching over, but can i import my bookmarks and things like that there? Also, from the website, it looks like its aimed more towards mac; do you know if you can get the tabs at the top like it usually is? because on the website it has the tabs located exclusively in the sidebar and I think it's a little too weird for me if there's no way to change that.
Its almost been 2 years since the initial post, and still no tab grouping or tab islands.
Opera GX has had an entire aesthetic reboot, new features, many things. However the one thing that the browser still lacks that nearly every other mainstream browser has is tab groups
(Opera has tab islands, Chrome has tab groups, Firefox has Panorama, Vivaldi has tab stacks, safari has tab groups, Microsoft Edge has tab groups, Brave has tab groups, Maxthon has tab groups, even Internet Explorer used to have tab groups.)
Most browsers have this feature for good reasons: minimized tab groups can be put in a 'sleep mode' so those tabs don't take up as much resources, the organizational aspect of them, the aesthetic aspect of them. There's so many benefits to having them, yet the browser that seems to pride itself on being the best for resource management, aesthetics & customization, and brands itself as the browser for gamers, seems to leave out a major organizational tool. It's just odd to me.
I understand that a product unfinished shouldn't be released, however when it's such a long requested feature that has already been out on another platform (even if the other platform is still in beta) for over 2 years, it feels less like they have been unable to get it to work and more like they're avoiding it's addition.
all this for us to still not have tab grouping
This is great, my favorite feature in Opera is the tab islands though, and as a GX user i have to wonder when and if they will be implemented into Opera GX?
@leocg is there any way to do this for extension sites? I have a game extension that plays audio every time and i hate manually muting the tab every time.
