Guys, I have good news. in Sep. 2024, I reported a feature request on Opera GX's bug tracker ("Add tab islands."). Yesterday, they replied as follows:
Hello Dear User,
We have good news!
Tab islands are now available for beta testing in the latest Opera GX. Update your browser and enable it in Early Bird to try them out.
Regards,
The Opera GX Team
Let's hope the feature is well-made. We won in the end.
I know this probably doesn't mean much, but +1. I've been using Opera GX for the past four years, approximately, but something that has always really annoyed me is the lack of tab management that all other major browsers have. I know workspaces exist, but they function completely differently and, in my opinion, much worse. Tab islands being in regular Opera but not in Opera GX is infuriating, and if any developers browse the forums, let it be known that GX's users are frustrated.
I think this feature could be great for finding info you want quicker. An example of how it could be implemented (the usage) could be implemented like how the Webstorm IDE does (see image attached)
The left most button is a toggle for the regex feature (if not toggled it would search "normally"), and the other two buttons are to match case and whole words, respectively.
I think this feature could be a great addition for people who want to search for a very specific type of information without knowing exactly what information they want and could boost productivity while searching through large heaps of text.
