And of course you really mean in recent history, as all open tabs are in history somewhere.

Thanks a lot.

As said (my last line), there may be extensions that can do this.
This requires me to find and check out those extensions, see whether they are reliable in a sense that they have a good rating from a somewhat larger group of users, etc.

Whereas I prefer a native solution. Hence my posting here.

But, then again, I am not sure whether this section here is being read by anyone from Opera...

p.s. if an extension is the only to go at present, then there is another extension may be "Vanilla Cookie Manager" (rated 4,5* by 48,000 users)

You think disabling notifications would prevent sites from asking you to allow them? Sorry, that makes no sense ... you need to suggest blocking the requests, not blocking the notifications.

This way you can also create a theme from scratch.

For non english native languagers it would be great to be able to turn on a feature where we can tell which language to translate the selected text. Lets say i browse the internet, on a site i found a word that i do not know what it means in english, i select it, and in the popup window which comes up on selection, next to the copy and search there would be a third option. [ copy | search | translate ]. When clicking on the translate, it would show in small window 2-4 words which the text translates to. It would come very handy.

I understand this, just wanted to say that it something is encrypted there should be a key. If key is stored locally malware can read it and do whatever it needs.

Anyway I am not sure if developers read this forum. Opera can't change default search engines, can't hibernate tabs after eliminating extended-lazy-session-loading flag (I am aware of "Tab Suspender (memory saver)" extension, but it has major drawback causing lost tabs), can't show sidebar only for speed dial. 2 of 3 issues raised after update.
FreeBSD support upgrade from Opera 12

@burnout426 said in FreeBSD support upgrade from Opera 12:

Or, do you want to avoid that for the same reason you want to use FreeBSD over Linux?

honestly the reason I installed FreeBSD was because of the whole illusion Microsoft is putting foreward on linux, and because I was recommended it over x86 Arch distros like Void for it's security
which after installing it compared to Void on the machine I'm typing this message from,
yeah I can back up that it's efforts in security slightly out-match that of Arch (without systemd), but that Arch still has a much higher level of security compared to Ubuntu-based distros

being able to use linux-based workarounds in FreeBSD for me isn't an issue as long as I don't have to sacrifice much (if any) of it's security.
I don't hate Linux, I just hate bad practice and lack of care

basically, I don't mind using Arch as long as their focus puts security before usability while still maintaining both
Why can't Opera add a colour to the tab like Chrome does?

Opera's simplified interface is part of why it is actually faster than Chrome. They don't want to change that.

Do you mean open a new blank tab or do you mean open a link in a new tab? Imgur does not seem to work very well any more. I could not see your image there. Opening a link in a new tab works for me with middle-click. I can also close a tab with middle-click.

You could just make an image that is all one colour and set that to be the theme image.
