After I recent update, the video pop-outs has had square corners. This is unlike what is was before, it is unlike what it actually is on YouTube (they have rounded corners there too now), and it does not fit the aesthetic of Win11. I think you should either give us the option of toggling rounded/square corners, or make it adapted to the OS (Win11/Win10) the browser is installed on. I'm pretty sure it used to have rounded corners now just before the latest update. (I now have version 113.0.5230.62)

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.

@leocg I'm not sure, I have not used Chrome in a while and didn't try out the PDF reader in Vivaldi. But double checked location in Edge (which also is a chromium browser, but uses its own PDF reader) and Firefox.

But I understand that the underlying problem then might probably be the way the chromium pdf reader works then.

I'm not mainly trying to complain. I'm just trying to help in the long run by making a suggestion of how Opera could be better and more competitive, if the devs at some point have time to implement something like this.

Might not be the most pressing issue, but it's certainly an open possibility to make the browser better and more competitive.

This is a serious issue for us using opera as a PDF reader for 900 page textbooks or similar. Having to remember the page number or spend several seconds or even minutes to find and open the PDFs at the relevant pages makes me use other browsers specifically for reading PDF's. I wish I could do this in Opera instead, as the PDF reader is actually really good elsewise.

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.
