Minimizing A Tab By Clicking On it

In Opera 12.17, you could minimize a tab by clicking on it.
Seemingly an easy programming objective, let's get that back.
Often I just want the current tab to minimize, can't do it in O 50

Vivaldi has this. It's called "Minimize active tab" in the tab settings. It's so awesome!

@burnout426 Don't know if I'm doing something wrong but here it seems to just activate the previous opened tab.

Technically, current versions can't minimize a tab. The best they could do is send it to the back.
Yeah, I guess that's what I meant. Wish we could do it in Opera

You're not doing anything wrong. The behavior of focusing the previously-activated tab simulates the useful part of minimizing a tab like in Opera 12 (which for the main part, just focuses the previously-focused tab). The difference is that in Opera 12, each tab is more of an embedded, docked window that can also be resized inside the main window. In Opera 12, you can also keep minimizing all the tabs so you just see the blank workspace. But, being able to see the blank space behind all the tabs isn't that useful. And, supporting embedded windows inside the main window like Opera 12 does, if you just want to minimize, isn't really needed.
In short, what Vivaldi does was really easy and fast to implement and covers the good part of minimizing. Doing the actual Opera 12 way now is probably super-difficult as it'd require a redesign of the interface. And, not sure how difficult
Chromium makes that. -

@burnout426 Thanks. I was thinking that the tab would really be minimized.
