One identity for one tab - very important

The only way to do it now is described in these help sites:
All the ways are wearing.

Opera does have private windows, each separate window can have a different identity ... and will promptly forget that you were logged in as that identity as soon as the private window is closed. I'm not sure what you expect the browser to do beyond that ...

It's not good for your soul to have more than one personal account on a public service.
As to businesses, on Facebook - if you create a page, you can always switch to it (any of however many they are) within the same session (and same tab), then switch again/back/wherever. Those cookies will apply to the whole browser session (non-private), of course.
I know nothing about YouTube and other schmucks in that respect, though. -

No you can not. I have my private account on FB and a buisinness one + they are treated as different identities. I have to log off to log in.
Do you really think that solution with the private tab is sufficient?
First of all you can have only one additional identity for the private windows. Second - as you've said - the browser forgets the login and everything actually after it's been closed.
So going around something that does not work is not a sufficient solution.
I really do not understand your resistance. -

There are far more important features to work on than this which would have limited usage at best.

Limited?
So why there are help pages on the net. People are searching for it.
Most of my friends have several identities and log on and off because they think it is not possible to do it another way. -

I really will never get any good reason for someone to have several identities/logins in a same site/service. One personal and one professional sounds resonable but more than that seems kinda strange for me.
Back to the suggestion, it doesn't seems to be something that easy to implement and i'm not sure if will benefit enough users to worth the efforts.
Opera would have to create a (new) profile folder for each identity, create all the data files and load it when you open a tab with that profile. Then it would have to store data in (several) different profiles at the same time and make sure that one profile/identity can't see the other one's content.
Also context menu when right clicking on a link would have to show "open in new tab with profile 1", "open in new tab with profile 2", "open in new tab with a new profile" and so on, what would reallu become a mess if someone adds lots of profiles.
All of it would have impact in performance. I think it's more simple to just make standalone installs and use each one as a different profile if the case.

I have 3 identities on Yahoo, because I already had one then my ISP provided another, and then we switchd ISPs a couple of times (though I don't use that second identity any more). Many ISPs will use Gmail or Yahoo as official mail provider, if you already have an account with one of their services you may get another. No idea on Facebook, except that (as stated) he may be managing his own account plus various businesses and organizations.
Come to think of it, I had two identites on MyOpera so I could see how things looked for a normal user.

This would be useful to me, and it can't be impossible to make, private tabs in opera 12 are similar. But I still agree with that it's a feature with a... Secondary priority.
