@leocg I don't think it will ever be a problem for anyone if the currently opened tabs are in history. Nobody would go "What?! There is a list of currently opened tabs in History! That doesn't make ANY sense at all! What were they thinking?!" Most likely people would probably just ignore that, if they ever even found out it existed.
Also, there is "security against threats" (as in encryption and such) and "security of use" (trusting you won't lose progress when using the system). I'm talking about the latter.
When Opera crashed, I lost a lot of tabs, which were never recorded in History. Opera failed to correctly handle the crash and I had to try and remember what the tabs were. All of this could've been avoided by my suggestion (a list, where I found all tabs that I haven't specifically closed myself).

@qualdan Currently, History shows the recent closed tabs. I don't it it makes sense too, but at least there is a date and time related to it.
Let's say that Opera is going to show opened tabs in History. When the browser should do it? It should list all opened tabs? Or just those accessed on that session?
I still think that Opera should and could have a way to better deal with crashes, so that current session could be recovered when those crashes happen.

It seems that Session Buddy does it.

@leocg I tried that, they didn't show up.
History usually shows recently closed tabs, but in my case, those tabs weren't anywhere to be found (it's like opening Opera for the first time to a blank tab).
How it should work: When the user opens a tab, add it to the list. When the user closes a tab, remove it from the list. Simple.
I really do agree, Opera should have better crash handling, but my method would be foolproof. I seriously don't see any downside of having that kind of a list. If you can see how it would negatively impact Opera, please let me know how.

@zalex108 I really shouldn't have to rely on third-party solutions for something like this, but Session Buddy does seem promising.

Sure,
But currently, despite the suggestions the workarounds are needed.
At least exists an extension to do it.

@qualdan It's somehow already done. If you check the tabs menu, you will see a list of opened tabs. However the list is emptied when Opera closes as it seems.
Also, when you open a tab/page, it's added to History already, The problem is when people keep tabs opened for a long time.

@leocg Tabs menu being purged on restart makes it useless for this purpose.
If I use some website several times a day every day, I'm obviously going to keep it open for a really long time. So, even if it is logged into History several months ago, it is essentially also useless, since I would need to go through everything in History to find it.

Opera is shit :
i have windows10 pro 64bits up to date and 16go of ram
i had firefox open with 850 tabs open- chrome with 200 open tabs
then i opened opera
barely open ,all of my 300 open tabs were deleted at once!!!I lost everything!
and in the opera folder ,current session and last session have been reset,a big shit opéra
while this has happened to me several times with firefox in the past,but by going to the firefox folder,he always keeps a save of last session and i have always been able to recover all of my tabs!
but opéra won't have me anymore ,luckily there is a fabulous extension! : Tabs Backup & Restore
https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/tabs-backup-restore/dehocbglhkaogiljpihicakmlockmlgd-to install it, you must first install this extension in opéra :

https://addons.opera.com/fr/extensions/details/install-chrome-extensions/then go to my link of Tabs Backup & Restore
and click on : add to operathis extension is awesome it automatically saves open tabs a choice from 1mn to 4 hours!!! unfortunately it has not been updated since 2012 but it still works like a charm !
