It would be nice to have the option of having some tabs not do tab snoozing when tab snoozing is enabled. You could have an option to "Disable tab snoozing for pinned tabs" or the ability to whitelist websites where tab snoozing will not occur. The way it is now is an all or nothing approach which I think can be improved upon since there are some websites logged into with information up that are effected when a tab is reloaded after being snoozed.
I have my Opera desktop setup to sync with a passphrase. The sync works fine on my opera desktop and opera for android. The problem is I can't get flow to connect. When I click Flow in opera desktop and then "Connect to Phone" it shows the QR code. In opera for android I go to Flow in the settings, and then click "Connect Device" and scan the QR code. It always says "Pairing - The use Flow, you need to set up syncing between your device. Navigate to opera.com/connect on your other device". The problem is I got syncing setup and working between the devices. If I use "Other Options" and use "Sign In", that also doesn't work.
The only way I was able to get it to work on opera for android is using the quick setup option for flow which creates a random account to use for all opera sync operations. I want to use my existing sync account with flow. Is this even possible?
@sopronman1965: Since installing the new Opera 96 I am getting the tab jumping also. If a click a tab that is shrunk down, it will jump to the right. Very annoying, I hope it gets fixed soon.
You have a bug regression. The following was fixed in version 96.0.4693.50 but is broken again in version 97.0.4719.26:
DNA-105141 Tabs to the right of the currently active one swap their position with another when clicked
These Opera updates feel rushed.

@cfyzuk I am noticing the same issue, and based on the amount of complaints going around I have to assume it is a bug that is taking forever to get resolved. Hopefully they will fix it soon since it has already been close to half a year without a fix for this issue. I would prefer things like this got fixed first before prioritizing all the new features being added.
@paultatarenko I agree, I am seeing the same issue where I see multiple devices of the same name duplicated and way more tabs listed then I actually have open. In the past I wouldn't see multiple duplicate devices and only see tabs I actually had open. Doing a sync reset fixed it temporary until it started happening again, so I have to assume it is a bug and hope gets fixed at some point since it is annoying.

@leocg Actually it is now enabled by default in the latest Chrome 110 release. Since the newly released Opera 96 is based on Chromium version 110 I thought maybe it would be supported. Hopefully it gets supported in a future version of Opera since I find it very useful for saving memory (freezing tabs) and allows for whitelisting websites you don't want to freeze. The battery saver feature is not as important that also was released (flag #battery-saver-mode-available) since Opera has had a battery saving mode for a long time.
@leocg Are there any plans on supporting the #high-efficiency-mode-available functionality in Opera at some point?
Does Opera 96 support the #high-efficiency-mode-available flag? When I enabled this in Opera 95 it would crash every time Opera opened. I had to run Opera with the command line option to disable all flags and disable it before it stopped crashing. I guess that flag was not supported in Opera 95 so wondering if it is supported in Opera 96. It would be nice to have the performance section options like Chrome supports in v110.
Yes it does, but it doesn't offer the option to whitelist websites like what is going to be available in Chrome. I just used the term "memory saver mode" since that is what Google is calling it for their new version of Chrome. Admittedly Chrome already snoozes tabs which can be seen in the discards section, but they never added the ability to turn it on and off easily for websites, and in the settings have a whitelist section. I am hoping this implementation of snoozing tabs where you have more control makes it into Opera in the future, since that is what this post discussion was about, more control over what tabs snooze or don't.
If they introduce the new memory saver mode (https://blog.google/products/chrome/new-chrome-features-to-save-battery-and-make-browsing-smoother/) like how Chrome is implementing it, then it will allow to turn it on and off based on a website whitelist. So hopefully this gets introduced into Opera like how it is being done in Chrome.
Now we just need the memory saver (https://blog.google/products/chrome/new-chrome-features-to-save-battery-and-make-browsing-smoother/) that Chrome will be introducing to be integrated into Opera so it is optimized for memory use also.
