Hey, @operagxofficial
After the latest update for operagx, I can’t open new tabs with my middle mouse button anymore! It was a convenient feature which you guys removed. Or is it a bug or glitch somethin? Can someone help we with this.

I'm also having this issue on Opera GX after updating to version LVL4 (core: 96.0.4693.59). Couldn't find any setting to re-enable this function.

Normally the middle click mouse button would open links in new tab and close/open empty tabs. Right now link opening and closing tab parts work. The thing is that when I try to open a new tab like I always do, it doesn't work.

Same thing, I ran into BSOD on Win 11 many times yesterday so I restored my laptop. The thing is that other people have been having the same issue so I don't think its the formatting. And for other browsers like Edge, Google Chrome, Opera GX (all chromium based) I have realized that they have the same issue.

Mine too stopped working about a week back. Does anyone have any idea how to fix this. It was such a convenient feature, and I almost feel like I cant properly use the browser without that :(......

I'm gonna dogpile on to uselessly add that I too just updated to the newest version of GX last night and now find myself missing the feature.

I never realized how much I used it until today, where I find myself contently trying to open new tabs only to frustratingly either right click to open one or click on the +

I don't see why they would remove such a useful feature, I feel like this has to be a bug

Same here... before the update it was possible. After the update it feels like I am using a mouse which does not have a middle button :/

Hello, since today I'm not able to open a new tab clicking with the mouse wheel on the top bar anymore. Is there any option I should check? Or is it just a feature that has been disabled? Thanks!
