<![CDATA[when opening Settings, how to prevent opening in new window? especially in incognito?]]>sometimes I'll be browsing using incognito, but the problem is when I try to go into Settings, suddenly all my previous tabs and windows from my main session all pop open along with settings, therefore defeating the purpose of me using incognito in the first place.

I can't close the windows and save my session without closing my incognito tabs, but then I'm forced to use it and have several other unrelated windows open at once.

why can't opening settings just have a single window open, instead of opening all of them at once? they do it for other links.

I know the whole point of incognito is not to save anything, but that's beside the point.

basically I can't browse in incognito without wanting to open my settings without having my previous session open along with it, it's getting annoying.

So, Opera forces the page to open in a normal browsing context. Not sure what you can do about it.
