<![CDATA[[Solved]Auto close the browser when last tab is closed]]>It doesn't drive me insane (as it apparently did when someone else raised this point), but it does irritate that when I close the 'last' tab, Opera simply creates a new one.
It really isn't the end of the world, but when I finish a session, I review and close all my tabs, and it does irritate that the browser remains open after the last one.
Since that post (2018), has anything changed?
(I have looked in settings, but can't find a way).

Thanks for that, but I can't find any way to make that happen - why would it work, anyway?

Then when you close the last tab it will close the browser, hope this helps.

You're welcome,

Please make this a setting.

Thank you!

It worked this way for ever...then, all of a sudden it stopped working...then, all of a sudden it started working again...but, after re-installing Opera (it was really acting wonky, stopped loading pages, Opera was very unhappy)...Opera no longer closes upon closing the last tab. Annoying...just make it a setting. please!!

When will 103 be in the stable version?

The problem is that version 102 (With the bug) was still released as a stable version 😕

If I just open a new window and try to close that tab immediately, it won't close.

Opera One (version: 102.0.4880.10)
Update stream: beta
System: Windows 10 64-bit
Chromium version:116.0.5845.62

But Ctrl+W (or clicking the tab's [x]) doesn't close the window, but it leaves a tab with the Speed Dial (even if it's an additional window and not the last one).

Is that unexpected on the Beta branch, or will that behavior change for everyone in the next stable version?

Ctrl+W closes any additional windows here.

For primary, you can use Alt+F4.

101.0.4843.43 on Win10. Light theme.

Since a long time, I've just ctrl+W'ed multiple tabs when I have a window with many tabs that I don't want to use anymore. But since a recent update, the last one always remains there open and it's really annoying (it's there even a good keyboard shortcut to close the whole window?)

I'd rather like it the Windows way, actually, i.e. keeping one tab open even after closing the last one. I've run too often in the problem of closing the last tab and thereby closing the whole app. which isn't what I want.
But choice would be great. Actually, I don't remember from Vivaldi how it's handled there. But Vivaldi is the king of choices.

That's weird. Very very weird!

Shame they can't give us a choice though. Can't image it would take a million lines of code.

The browser not closing when the last tab is closed is one of the most liked features.
