        @wizardlizard One of the main reasons that make Opera better than other browsers is exactly the fact that it doesn't close the whole browser when you close the last tab.

          It's 100% matter of preference. I mean saying that this feature is one of the main reason Opera is better is just not true. I never close the last tab of my browser thinking "man, I'm glad it's staying open for no reason."

            @wizardlizard Yes, it's a matter of preference and that's why for me and, I believe, for many others, it doesn't make sense to close the browser together with the last tab.

            You may want to just close that page, that tab but continue to navigate on the web, you may want to keep it opened because of social networks in sidebar, etc.

            Anyway, I'm not against having an option.
