Why would anyone need to have hundreds of tabs open? There are bookmarks that can save the pages where you want to return. The bookmarks use less resources than many tabs open at the same time.

@concretable sometimes it’s easier to just have the pages cached than it is to open it again. regardless of whether or not you think it is useful to have many tabs does not mean that it should not be an option. even in situations where you have an arbitrary number of tabs more than 4, sometimes rather than counting the number of tabs you have you could just press ctrl+9 to reach the last one, since it’s the most recent. I am not saying that it should be a permanent change, but your response supplies no reason the option should not be available.

I'm one of those users who regularly have dozens of tabs open. For example,
-
I regularly search the websites of online retailers for certain products. From their result lists with often many dozens of offers, I then open possibly interesting product pages in a new background tab (CTRL+CLICK) to look at them later.
-
Here in the Opera forum (and in other NodeBB-forums as well) I always let me show the unread- or recent-list to open the threads that interest me from there in background tabs.
-
Online searches on scientific topics often lead to dozens of cross-references that are opened in background tabs.
Saving all these pages as bookmarks instead is, of course, nonsensical. And for me, implementing the proposal discussed here would be very helpful.

@yanta This is slightly off-topic, but you can middle-click links to open in new tab. It might be faster than pressing Ctrl. Just click the scroll wheel.

@concretable probably for the same reason that some people only scan a forum reply or email, and reply to it, raising an issue addressed already in what they didn't read. Different strokes...

Yes, i too second the thought to have Ctrl-9 shortcut for the Last Tab.
Developers, please implement asap. -

In Opera Developer, at the URL
opera://settings/keyboardShortcuts, there's now "Switch to last tab". There's no shortcut set for it by default. But, to match other browsers, you can delete ctrl + 9 from "Switch to ninth tab" and add ctrl + 9 to the new "Switch to last tab".See https://blogs.opera.com/desktop/changelog-for-78/#b4079.0.

@burnout426 Thanks for the news, but I will say that I updated to the latest stable 77.0.4054.146 (Windows 10), and I did restart Opera, but I don't find any "switch to last tab" option listed in the shortcuts in settings.
And while that bug list does indeed show this being fixed in this version (as ticket DNA-93637), I couldn't find any further details on it.
Has anyone else gotten this to work?
I'm really looking forward to it. Sure, it's one less than doing ctrl+1>shift-tab, but since I do work in multiple browsers on multiple machines (that are usually other than Opera), I would love to see this work as it does every else on my main browser.

@carehart Confirmed that "switch to tab" isn't shown in stable. Maybe it's an error in the changelog or something. Sorry. I'll keep you posted.

It was a mistake in the changelog. Sorry, the new shortcut is not in Opera Stable yet. I'll let you know when it is.

It seems to not work through workspaces. If last tab is not in current workspace, the shortcut does nothing.
But it can change (crossing fingers).
Either work cross-workspace or in the current workspace. Not working at all is quite frustrating. -
