      I recently changed from chrome to opera, well, because screw google. Opera has this rather curious behavior where, if I click on any part of the page that isn't a link, it goes back one page. Like hitting the back button. Is there any way to disable this behavior? Its annoying as all hell.

        If you hit both buttons, right then left, Opera will go back. If you hit left then right, it will go forward. Opera refers to these as "rocker gestures" in Settings; you can turn them off. See if this might be what you are actually doing, as I have no problem simply right-clicking anywhere in Opera.

          Thanks sgunhouse, that helped alot. However the setting turned to be mouse gestures which I still think moves the page back whenever I right click. Thanks goodness I was able to disable it

            Mouse gestures would be if you are moving the mouse while clicking the button - RMB and moving left is Back, RMB and moving right is Forward, etc.
