      @hey008 and @PranayChaturvedi ...

      My perception is this is mostly a user to user forum, although there are active Moderators.

      If it is so, the development team is not watching these threads.

      There are a couple of active "feedback" threads going on, which might be where the dev team is getting feedback from.

      But yea, I understand, taking away features that are well known and expected of all browsers is thoughtless.

            Some good news for touch users. Opera 103 Beta has added the X back to the tab island. So 103 Stable should resolve this issue.

                  I understand that you're having trouble closing tabs on Opera 100 on your Surface 6 Pro. This is a known issue with Opera 100 on tablets. The tab closing buttons have been removed from the browser on tablets, and there is no way to hover to close a tab.

                  To close a tab on Opera 100 on your Surface 6 Pro, you can either right-click on the tab and select "Close Tab," or you can use the keyboard shortcut Ctrl+W (Windows) or Cmd+W (Mac).

                    Iโ€™m on Windows from a regular PC, and I donโ€™t know for which devices this solved it, but version 106 of stable Opera is coming soon, and Iโ€™m still going through a test that takes my time to correctly hover over a tab so that the button appears and I finally close the tab

                      The missing tab-closing buttons in Opera 100 tablets could be due to:

                      New tablet UI: Opera redesigned the tablet interface, prioritizing space. Gesture controls (swiping) might replace buttons.
                      Bug or glitch: Some users reported it as a recent issue, suggesting a bug in the update.
                      Touch keyboard overlap: If using a keyboard, it might temporarily hide buttons. Try minimizing it.

                      Check Opera forums or contact support for official updates and solutions.

                        It seems like you're facing an issue with the new version of Opera (v100) on your Windows 11 tablet, where the close (x) buttons on the tabs are not visible. This makes it difficult for you to close tabs easily. I have been faced this issue a long time ago!
