      Do we have to hide the Xs to close tabs? They don't always appear when hovering. I detest having to tell my computer to do something twice. At least I can punish the kids.

      Even when they do work, I have to perform four operations: hover, wait, find, click. It's as bad as that stupid hide the scrollbars thing in Microsoft Office.

          @maniaqc Just noticed another annoyance about this "feature" - if you try to select a tab, but click it on the right of it, an X appears while you're clicking and you've closed the tab by mistake! Why hide things?!? Imagine your car with buttons which appeared in the middle of the dashboard. The passenger touches a piece of dashboard and suddenly the engine is switched off!

                @leenkeen I moved for an other browser with same feature of hidding Β« x Β» but it respond well, I don't have to wait or move my mouse like a crazy and if i want close a tab after 1/4 second or close 20 tab in a row I can. It's probably a minor bug or they done it on purpose to make us leave... or worst... use their island πŸ˜–

                  @maniaqc But it’s not clear how the developers themselves use this browser... Are they also move the mouse in the hope of finding the coveted x button?😁 😁 😁

                  And synchronization... Have you tried that damn synchronization? A bunch of devices, a hundred years old data updates. Yes, need to look for happiness in another browser. R.I.P. opera

                    @leenkeen I don't think they use it themself since it seem they want to change everything to become noob's friendly, wich is completly useless because they call internet google and don't know what a browser is.... 😹
                    I use opera for years, I love the side bar and the screenshot tool I still hope they will wake up and realise they should put an option, because I don't need a thing to prevent to accidentaly close a tab, my dad need it, my dad don't use computer, I do...
