@anotheruselessposter This is very painful. So sorry. After my loss that I described above, I started using the Session Buddy addon. I hope it will help me if I encounter this kind of issue again.

that doesn't work, "keep tabs from...." i have that set and have 4 workspaces with 20 tabs each. it's a hassle and time wasted to keep going into history to find those tabs or even to save as dial folder. time is important.

Yeah, me too. I've been using Vivaldi the last couple of months and not only did this fix the problems I had with Opera, but the number of options you have in Vivaldi compared to Opera is just mind-boggling.
At this point, I don't think I'm ever going back to Opera. They convinced me with all that talk about multi-threading and stuff, but it just wasn't worth it. The thing I regret most, isn't going all-in myself, but the fact that I recommended Opera to a lot of people - they must think I'm an idiot.

@bronlund tried vivaldi. it is robust, but as a designer visual artist, Opera got the visual and ui correct. Vivaldi seems clunky, though it has rich features.
Opera has to make it a priority to fix one of the main features in any browser -- Tab management. It's there, but buggy. Fix this please. People have been complaining since 2020 on this. This should have been fixed a while ago. The head of development at Opera has dropped the ball.

I found Vivaldi at least as buggy as Opera, TBH even more so. And it doesn’t surprise me, actually, given their small team and their features. So, no good refuge for people fleeing Opera because of its alleged bugs IMHO.

@celticcross Well, our experiences have been different. I've had a great time with it on a very cranky 15 year old Dell Inspiron (!) - and no problems at all with my 7 year old HP Zbook. Definitely a refuge for me, thank god.

@dermotmoconnor For me it was the other way round. Opera smooth, not clunky, simply working without Millions of adjustments, better refined features for me, not so many bugs after updates, and not lost in custemization. After all, even not a needless mail and calendar.
But every user‘s need is different, OC. -

Meanwhile i request opera browser team to please provide an option to manually download a backup file for custom workspace + tabs opened in them. Mostly people use same setup for months or years, it would help us all a lot. Or make a restore point setup for all the settings if possible!

@tanekdk Many here, myself included, tried this klunky workaround. It did not work. In my case, whatever was borking my tabs may have been borking the sessions feature. Even if it worked, it's not satisfactory as you'd need to be making a backup of every session to be on the safe side.
And still this thing is rolling on, unreal. Adobe level behaviour.
And again, I'm typing this on Vivaldi, ZERO regrets on migrating.

@dermotmoconnor (knock on wood) I haven't had a session wipe happen for about three months, but when it did, Opera had to be closed before copying the files back, as it would otherwise have a lock on some of the session files, and wouldn't restore the session.
I probably jinxed myself now...

@mixchild I don't know. It wasn't intuitive for me to use islands. Tried dragging, ctrl right click as well as middle mouse click but whatever tabs just vanished and I couldn't quickly group existing tabs together. I probably am doing something wrong.
But I haven't had the tabs wipe since mid november last year or so.
