<![CDATA[Customizing position of tab-close (x) button]]>Hi everyone πŸ‘‹πŸΌ ,

i'm on macOS and recently switched to Opera from Firefox.

Using Opera since version 63 (currently most up-to-date v65).

Digging around the internet for some hours i couldn't find any recent info concerning my problem... πŸ€”

Is there any way to place the tab-close (x) button (displayed in the tab-bar for each tab) on the right-hand side AND NOT like it is default on left-hand side?

The thing is, it really annoys me and hurts my overall browsing experience of being productive to constantly closing tabs in accident (and reopening them) since tab switching with the mouse went into muscle memory that way (i mean Firefox and Chrome have the close button both placed on the RHS). 😣 😀

At least there should be an option for the users to decide which position for the tab-close button they'd prefer ...

maybe I'm also missing something here.

any suggestions for achieving this would be very much appreciated (it's slowly becoming a PITA). thanks all in advance. πŸ€—

I hope that some of the devs look at this
It just feels like it takes longer to close the tab when it’s on the other side

Just coming to Opera this is really, really, annoying. I have to use another browser for work and so all day I am fighting with this.
