          @kjeldahl Yes, I have to leave Opera, it's very very annoying, don't know when it happend, it seems to be a minor problem, but I can not work with this, going to Brave.

            @redsparrow78 I went to Brave as well, currently I am using Firefox. It is an eternal hunt for the best browser 🙂

              @kjeldahl unfortunately, I've gotten so used to Opera, especially UI and left toolbar. No other browser has it. But this bug is so serious, that I cannot work. It started with some actualization, don't know when. So I must leave. I'm mac user and it's difficult to find good browser with good UI and functions. Good luck too 🙂

                Opera version: 106.0.4998.52 MBP M1 14.2.1
                Same problem here for many months and updates.
                I usually occurs after having downloaded a file.
                Right click does not work anymore, have to click twice to close a tab and quitting Opera only possible with a Force Quit.
                The only way to solve this is to restart Opera (sometimes multiple times a day...).
                Very very annoying!

                  You won't want to hear it, but I solved this problem another way (for exactly that reason): switched to Vivaldi

                  It's obviously off-topic for this forum, but frankly if the Opera developers don't care to investigate and fix the bug, I have limited patience to continue using their browser over the multitude of others!

                    @damienuk I'm in the proces of moving to FF.
                    With the Workspaces extension it seems to work fine.

                            Why does Opera keep adding features that nobody asked for, nobody wants and actively make our Opera experience worse??

                                Almost 5 years later, and this is still an issue, Opera seriously needs to fix this
