<![CDATA[Disable tab discarding]]>Hello!

I have a problem with the function that reloads a tab everytime switch to it.
Is there a way to switch this off by default?
(opera 36, android 4.2, galaxy s3)
I looked around but could not find a solution. If this has been posted somewhere, please post a link here.

Thank you very much!

opera://flags/

I was hoping for an easy solution, but if it cannot be helped, it cannot be helped.

You ideally need 2gb ram to enjoy opera.

Opera roughly uses 350-500mb thats why you have this issue, disable alot of your samsung unwanted app, (bloat), or flash cyanogen.
It wasnt till android 4.4 kitkat they implemented trim support for flash storage.

Apparently it is related to Android memory management; if another app needs the memory then the tab is discarded and has to be reloaded.
