      When Opera starts my setting is "Retain tabs from previous session" but I don't want Opera to load pages which I haven't (re)visited yet.
      How can I block Opera to load webpages in the background??

        @kimw Maybe you can try finding some extension to do it.

          @leocg I thought it could be done through the settings like with Firefox. Okay, I'll have a look. Thanks.

            @kimw There is a setting to delay the loading but there isn't one to avoid the loading to happen.

              I know that.
              But I want to block totally the loading of background tabs on Opera startup.
              Yet I haven't found a solution. There is no extension which can do that.
