Here are the details.<\/p>\n<p>Tab groups, search, swipes, and more<\/p>\n<p>Most iOS users fall into two main categories: those who close a tab immediately after they\u2019re done with it (even if they\u2019re bound to open that same website again in a few minutes), and those who never, ever close their tabs.<\/p>\n<p>Opera is out today with an <a href=\"https:\/\/press.opera.com\/2025\/09\/03\/opera-for-ios-new-tab-management-system\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">update<\/a> to its <a href=\"https:\/\/apple.co\/4mMy7tC\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Opera One<\/a> browser on iOS, which will probably be very appealing to that second group.<\/p>\n<p>On its <a href=\"https:\/\/press.opera.com\/2025\/09\/03\/opera-for-ios-new-tab-management-system\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">official blog<\/a>, Opera says that, thanks to today\u2019s update, <a href=\"https:\/\/apple.co\/4mMy7tC\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Opera One<\/a> now surpasses Safari and Chrome in managing multiple tabs.<\/p>\n<p>The update brings a completely redesigned tab management system, with a handful of interesting enhancements aimed at \u201cbringing the power of desktop-style tab organization to mobile.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Here\u2019s what\u2019s new:<\/p>\n<p>New Tab Layouts \u2013 Grid and List views: users can now customize their tab layout by choosing between two distinct views. The grid layout offers a balanced organization, allowing users to see several tabs at once with clear visual previews. The list layout optimizes for quantity, providing a compact view that makes hundreds of tabs feel less overwhelming. Users can switch between layouts by tapping the leftmost icon in the bottom bar of the tab gallery.<\/p>\n<p>Tab Grouping \u2013 Control the Tab Chaos: This option allows users to easily organize tabs into tidy, customizable groups for activities like planning a trip, managing work tasks, or comparing online purchases. To create a group, users can long-press a tab, select the desired tabs, and add them to a new, named, and color-coded group. This feature is also available on iPad, where it resembles the desktop Tab Islands in Opera One \u2013 giving users the best tab organization features on all Apple devices.<\/p>\n<p>Tab Search \u2013 Find any tab instantly: For users struggling to find a specific tab among many, a new search function has been added. A search icon in the tab gallery\u2019s bottom bar allows users to quickly find any tab by typing a keyword related to its title or URL.<\/p>\n<p>Intuitive UI with easy swiping: The tab gallery interface has been redesigned for easier navigation. Users can now swipe between icons at the top of the screen to quickly access regular tabs, private mode, and synced tabs from other devices.<\/p>\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/apple.co\/4mMy7tC\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">new version<\/a> also lets users customize the menu, hiding or rearranging options according to their individual preferences. It also places Aria, the company\u2019s free AI companion, at the bottom bar.<\/p>\n<p>It is worth noting that Aria isn\u2019t the same agentic AI that powers Neon, the agentic browser the company announced <a href=\"https:\/\/9to5mac.com\/2025\/05\/28\/opera-neon-ai-browser\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">a few months ago<\/a>. As Opera explains it, Aria selects \u201cthe best LLM for a user\u2019s query,\u201d but doesn\u2019t appear to have any agentic capabilities.<\/p>\n<p>Accessory deals on Amazon<\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t\t<a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/google.com\/preferences\/source?q=https:\/\/9to5mac.com\"><br \/>\n\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"google-preferred-source-badge-dark\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/1756832768_539_google-preferred-source-badge-dark.png\" alt=\"Add 9to5Mac as a preferred source on Google\"\/><br \/>\n\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"google-preferred-source-badge-light\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/1756832768_518_google-preferred-source-badge-light.png\" alt=\"Add 9to5Mac as a preferred source on Google\"\/><br \/>\n\t\t<\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"disclaimer-affiliate\">FTC: We use income earning auto affiliate links. <a href=\"https:\/\/9to5mac.com\/about\/#affiliate\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">More.<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Today, Opera announced an update to Opera One, its iOS browser, with multiple improvements to tab viewing, searching,&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":130991,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[41],"tags":[165,74],"class_list":{"0":"post-130990","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-mobile","8":"tag-mobile","9":"tag-technology"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/130990","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=130990"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/130990\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/130991"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=130990"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=130990"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=130990"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
