When there are highlighted words in the response, hovering over them shows that they are URLs to either search engine links or to some other reference.

When links are included in the answer, they are not checked for repeats or essentially being the same as other links. This can be very repetitive.

In a recent question to Aria, the answer was good, but the repeated inclusion of the links was a little annoying. In the answer I received, it only needed, at most, four links. Instead, between repeating links and minor variations, it had 28 URLs (see example of list of links, below).

If the output was scrubbed and only: a) similar or essentially similar links were collapsed into a single link, and, b) only the first occurrence of link was kept, it would result in a better output. An alternative would be to c) collect the links as footnotes, and reduce that set. This is similar to what Wikipedia and other reference-ful websites do.

Is it possible to improve the function of copied links?
Namely, after selecting a link that does not directly open the link and using the "back" option, it closes the browser and you have to turn it back on to return to the page from which the link was. I find this an annoying bug. When you click the undo button, it should automatically close the link tab and return to the current page.
It seems so obvious that I don't know if maybe I'm doing something wrong or is there an option to set it in the browser?
Opinions please.

I recently migrated from another browser where cmd+click (or ctrl+click in Windows) was "open link in new tab and select it" and cmd+shift+click (or ctrl+shift+click in Windows) was "open link in new tab but don't select it". I'm used to this way to browse, and I don't want to unlearn what I've known for years and learn a new behaviour.

I can't find a setting to change this behaviour. Is there something I'm missing or an extension that will do this for me?

Thanks in advance.

I have a same issue.

It would be lovely if I could choose a designated workspace where all new tabs from opening links would go.

The lack of such option isn't a big issue, but often I open links from apps like Discord and I tell myself "I'll check that later", and I continue using an app, then maybe switch workspace - before I check the tab - in search of something at the time more important, then open another link which now lands in a different workspace and after a while I find bunch of tabs across different workspaces that have nothing to do with that workspace. xd

I sometimes even still get that problem when opening links from within the browser. I read something, I open a link carelessly to check later while forgetting about "Open link in workspace>" or simply not wanting to think about it yet, I just don't think about the fact that this newly opened tab has nothing to do with the workspace I'm tuned to, I focus on finishing the read convinced I'll soon check that new tab, I go eat, I change workspace from work related to chilling one, I find new link and yeah, you get the picture...

If curing ADHD altogether would be easier I probably wouldn't bother you.

I'd love to have a "new tabs"/"opened links" workspace, please.

What would be even more sweet would be an option to assign certain addresses to always open in selected workspace, so when I open YT links they'd all land in leisure/YT/Netflix/IMDb workspace and when I open Wikipedia links they'd go to a different workspace... but just 1 default workspace for all links opening would be awesome enough. If I'll want to I'll send them from there to their right place. Later. First I need to catch that butterfly over there. The important part is for them to not land in the wrong place at the start, but instead in the "unassigned" sort of space.

If it's ever gonna be a thing: thank you in advance! You're the best.

Then, click on "choose defaults for this program" and make sure all the protocols and file types are selected for Opera.

If that doesn't work:

Download the offline package of Opera from https://www.opera.com/download.

Goto the URL opera://about and take note of the install path.

Uninstall Opera via programs and features while choosing to keep your data (if you want to keep your data).

After Opera is uninstalled, delete the install folder if it still remains.

Launch the offline package installer and click "options". Set the "install path" to "C:\Program Files\Opera", set "install for" to "all users", uncheck "import data from default browser", check "Make Opera the default browser" and install.

Then go back to "Default Programs" in Windows and make sure Opera has all its defaults.

Then it should just work. But, to test that things are correct, open a command prompt and enter this command:

start "Test" "https://www.example.com/"

It should then open in Opera. If you get asked what app should open the URL, selected "always use this app" and select Opera.

Try the same thing with:

start "Test" "http://www.example.com/"

If those both open in Opera, then Opera is configured correctly. If Opera still doesn't open from Outlook, I'd blame Outlook.

You can also go into Default Programs and choose to set a default by file type and choose the https and http protocols and set them to Opera.

  • Opera Mini version: 38.0.2254.134507
  • OS: Android 8.0.0
  • Mobile carrier: GiffGaff
  • Country: England

Two sample user agents on which this issue can be replicated:

  • Mozilla/5.0 (Linux; U; Android 8.0.0; LLD-L31 Build/HONORLLD-L31) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/72.0.3626.96 Mobile Safari/537.36 OPR/38.0.2254.134507

  • Mozilla/5.0 (Linux; U; Android 8.0.0; SM-G950F Build/R16NW; wv) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/4.0 Chrome/72.0.3626.76 Mobile Safari/537.36 OPR/38.0.2254.134507

Expected behaviour

  • Clicking on a link configured to launch in a new tab / window (using target="_blank") should successfully launch a new tab.

Actual behaviour

  • Any link on a page that is configured to launch in a new tab / window (using target="_blank" or window.open() in JavaScript) does not open.
    You remain on the current page, with no extra tabs having been opened in the background / foreground.

  • Note: Links configured to launch in the same frame are working as expected.

  • Note: Tested on a number of different devices with this same browser version and found this is not an issue that happens across all devices, but on the devices it does occur on, it will consistently fail to open links in a new tab.

Steps to reproduce

Go to any page containing links that are configured to open in a new tab / window, and attempt to launch these.

Examples:

AFAIK, no browser can override that behavior.

At some point, the "rel" tag may also affect links as browsers adopt the recommended behavior. rel=external is supposed to open in a new tab or window.
