Very strange glitch for sure. My Linux Mint had 2 erasures, but has been OK for about 8 days. Win10 seems to delete every 3 or 4. Last erasure was yesterday. Wonder what the trigger could be. If it can't be replicated, it might be a tough bug to dig out. No fun in the meantime. -

@fidelius no lost tabs confirmed with Opera 100.0.4815.76, Windows 11 Home. I tested tab islands and I have a group of pinned tabs (those disguised islands) back on my tab bar as I had before, which had been the guaranty for tab wipe outs on my system. The only issue remaining is, that Opera sometimes still starts with the start page and not with the last open tab - this seems to happen totally at random.

ditto here, though I'm still using the version that had the last crash. Very strange, but it's been ages since I lost any. Had the same 2 or 3 wipeouts on Linux Mint and Win 10, followed by 2 weeks of stability. What the heck caused them, or stopped them? -

@marqm I get the same behavior about the start page. Personally I believe that's intentional, because that start page occasionally shows new ads even when I disabled everything that can be disabled and keep on selecting "Don't show this again" for each of them. You wouldn't see these ads if it wasn't for the start page appearing from time to time.

Ugh, got another wipeout on Linux after about 2 weeks of good behaviour. Was able to use session buddy extension to restore most of them.
This is getting tedious. -

@dermotmoconnor You're still on the version that has the error. You wrote 114.0.5735.199, but that's not the Opera version, it's the Chromium version that Opera 100.0.4815.54 had. And this version still had the error, the tab wipeouts are fixed only since 100.0.4815.76 - and the current version is an even newer 101.0.4843.25 (with Chromium version 115.0.5790.102) that also has no tab wipeouts.
It's quite pointless to comment here that your old version still has the issue, of course it has, it's only fixed in the newer versions.

Today I also joined to people who lost over 100 tabs. How this was not an issue and now is? Why closed tabs are not in history?!
I've been using Opera since 2006, but I fell this is too much for me. Moving to different browser was a problem, but now I don't have to move 100+ tabs to new browser. -

I've been checking the update button regularly on both machines.My versions on both machines are up as to date as far as the update will allow. Win10 version seems to be fine, it's:
101.0.4843.25My version on Linux Mint doesn't seem to be as up to date, hence, I assume, the ongoing issue until such time as the Linux version is available.
Current latest version that it'll allow me is
100.0.4815.21Just checked 'Check For Updates' on Mint and that's as good as I can get for now. Glad to hear the bug will be fixed whenever that patch is rolled out on Linux.

I just lost 150+ tabs and yesterday I lost almost a 100 (but I thought it was a glitch of that moment, I didn't know it happened to anyone else).
Both times it happened only on the workspace I was when I closed the browser (I'm using 6 workspaces with hundreds of tabs on each).
All this started after the latest auto-update to version 101.0.4843.25 on Win10.
Also these new "tab island" feature ruined my browsing, because now each time I try to move a tab within the same workspace, beyond the first 50 tabs, it jumps on it's own to a random place within that workspace, and sometimes it even disappears.
Not to mention that the tab scrolling feature was disabled when I restarted the browser after the last update, and had to re-enable it through "opera://flags" feature (which I didn't know of, until I googled a method to reactivate the tab scrolling.I moved from Chrome because I had a lot of issues with it for months, until I finally decided to make the jump onto Opera (that was 2 years ago or so).
But now with all these losses I just suffered, I'm thinking about changing again, there were too many tabs to recover them from the History panel. -

So much for the previous commenter giving me grielf about not being up to date (I've been compulsively checking each version of mine to make sure there are no updates)! Have done so every time before posting.Oh, def. disable tab islands in settings!!!!!
Two workarounds you might find useful: I've been using the extension session buddy, which has allowed me to recover the previous day's tabs. Also, saving all open tabs in workspace to a speed dial folder might be useful, I've done that also.
Just got an update last night / this morning.
101.0.4843.25
fingers crossed.Agree about all the new 'features' being a mess. One thing to roll out new AI toys and such, but not at the cost of stability. This is exactly what happened with Adobe about 2.5 years ago. Added a bunch of AI wondertoys to PS, but it would crash on a certain % of users machines. Took them YEARS to resolve that.

Yeah, the last 24hs have been really stressful for me.
I've just checked for updates, but there's none.I already disabled the tab islands, thanks.
I searched for that extension session buddy, on the add-ons store, but I couldn't find it.
But yesterday I made backups of all my workspaces, though.The version you have now, is what gave me all this troubles, I hope it doesn't happen to you, but just to let you know.
What angers me the most, is that the browser autoupdates itself (without being able to disable it), to a buggy version and then you realize you're screwed.
I hope they fix this problems really soon, otherwise, I'll uninstall it for good (and to keep what's left of my mental health).

I had to get session buddy from their site (hope it's kosher, but no issues so far).
https://sessionbuddy.comOh, the big 'O' icon that plays automatically with MUSIC on first launch of an update: that, given all the problems we're having, reads to me like a massive "FU" every time it starts. They can afford programmers to write the code for that 1990s era stupidity, they can find some dev hours to fix this critical bug.

@dermotmoconnor I'll check that link, and see if it works for me, thank you!
Yeah, that musicalized intro feels like "Hi there, come see how we'll screw you this time".

@dermotmoconnor Another thing I noticed after this last update, and is really annoying, is that when you write a web address, and the autofill shows that you had it already open, when you click on the button (that appears at the right of the autofill) that takes you to it, you can see the content of that page, but the tab scroll doesn't move automatically to show you the tab you selected, and you have to scroll manually and search for it, and that is such a waste of time.
Did that happened to you too? -

I'm not seeing that. But if I type a URL, say sp and it autofills space.com, I just hit enter and it takes me there. I'm not seeing this, unless my process is different? -

What you have to note for 101.0.4843.25 is another bugfix in the release notes:
"DNA-109310 Broken session files are not automatically recovered"
I'm still on 100.0.4815.76 with Linux, haven't experienced any wipeouts since, though with very conservative usage (no TabIland). From my observation, everything revolves around the files in the %Profilepath%\Sessions\ folder (on Windows and Linux).
With the wipeouts I could still observe at 100.0.4815.54, I was able to restore the previous state from backup. Side effects, e.g. with Sync, I could not observe, but it is probably safer to backup & restore the entire profile folder as alternative share data with another 3rd party plugin.
