The tab islands are much awaited for my part. But I like the implementation on Edge a lot better. Give us a wider handle that can be named. A little vertical line with just a color isn't really that great. I also idslike that the GUI now takes up that much more space. Try to at least make it somewhat close to as space efficient as normal Opera. Then there is the side-bar. It should be more customizable. My custom web-pages (without which I would not use Opera actually) for some reason has to be below the history and settings icons. If they could be besides the messaging and AI apps, that would be more acceptable.

RE: Can't drag windows to move themOpera for computers
Be it Edge or Firefox, when the tab bar is full when the window is maximized, there is still a place to take hold of the window and drag it. (This is done by having some "free space" in the upper right corner. In Opera this would be between the + button and the search button in the upper right, for example.) However, in Opera, this is not the case. Every mm of the GUI is filled with a button when the window is maximized and tab bar is completely filled with tabs.
When making the switch of browsers, testing out Opera, this was one of the things that nearly made me turn away and go for another option. I would say this is an expected feature for those used to it from other browsers. It makes the operation of snapping the window to a certain place (half-screen or quarter-screen) in Windows a one-step process, instead of a two-step process like it is now.
