@leocg This is an automatic transition of unused tabs to inactive mode

First, make sure you're not using any of the limiters in the GX Control sidebar panel.

Next, make sure the battery saver is off at the URL opera://settings/batterySaver.

Then, goto the URL opera://discards and turn off auto-discardable for each tab you want. You'll have to repeat this with each Opera session.

If you want something that does opera://discards for you automatically, there are a few extensions in this list that will disable discarding. Pick one that says it disables discarding and try it out to see if it works. If not, try a different one that says it disables discarding.

If you still find some tabs snoozing even with one of the extensions that works in general, goto the URL opera://flags/#calculate-native-win-occlusion, disable the flag, and restart Opera.
