I just opened my Opera browser with version 101.0.4843.43, and it happened the same.
And while I'm writing these lines, it's downloading the update.
I don't know why they didn't fix this already, because this is a major problem!!!

The problem has worsened, with version 101.0.4843.58, I opened Opera to find now it erased me 200+ tabs from another workspace (not the one I was in when I closed the browser before shutting down my PC).
It's becoming impossible to use this browser anymore.

I've stopped having my entire session deleted - now, it's just my main workspace. I have six (my first one has my open tabs for email, social media, etc). The other five are OK. Strange stuff.
I use the speed dial trick of saving all workspace tabs in a speedial folder, so have been able to restore MOST of them there.
This is bananas stuff. Programmers at this point can't or won't fix this. Neither speaks well of them.

Yeah, I really don't know what's happening that they didn't fix it already, because it hurts so bad the reputation of a browser that's not even in the top 3 regarding popularity IMO.
Any new user that discover this bug, will think this is a piece of garbage and will uninstall it without thinking it twice.
And I say it because I'm starting to thinking of doing it myself, because at this point I'm loosing hope that this will get fixed anytime soon.

Ok boys and girls, right now after upgrade to 102.0.4880.16 Opera still started from Zero.
That means, everything is lost. It is not the tab mess, i mean it is everything lost:- tabs
- workspaces
- speedial
- bookmarks
- plugins
- All settings incl. stored passwords etc.
I am using Opera since over 20 years, but this is ... sorry, I do not have any words for this, I am not a native english speaker ......

It didn't happen to me (yet), but thanks for the heads-up, I will back up my bookmarks.
But yeah, this browser (since the damned "ONE" update) has been going from bad to worse, it looks like they are sabotaging themselves more and more with each update, and I'm reaching my limit.
If I loose all those things like you did, I'll uninstall this piece of trash browser (that's what it has become by now) for good. -

@burnout426 thank you.
In the meanwhile I changed to vivaldi and this one behaves like opera is supposted to do.
I think, opera overshoot the target with version 100+ = opera one and I am sorry to say, but this is a management problem. What a pity!
Ciao opera ....

Thanks for the reminder about Vivaldi. I see it's run by ex Opera people, open, etc., it's pretty good so far. Also available on Linux, hopefully I can get it working there as well as win10. -

Well, just made the switch to Vivaldi. Got all bookmarks in (easy), and migrated all tabs. Only thing I miss is having workspaces on a vertical sidebar instead of on top bar, but the bookmarks more than make up for it. Overall, a very 'Opera' feel to it. Certainly more familiar to me than Firefox or Chrome (Shudder).Odd thing: once signed into Vivaldi, my open YT creator page in Opera logged me out, and I can't get back in, but as I'm in with Vivaldi, and am done with Opera, no worries.
Uninstalling Opera now.Bye guys, thanks for 20+ ish years of happy browsing, sorry you're hellbent on Ensh!ttification.
Good luck with your new 'strategy', you're gonna need it.

For my use cases, vivaldi is doing the job well enough.Take a look at the sidebar. There is an icon "Windows" ("Fenster" in german) and there you can access your workspaces. Ok, it is not as smart as opera in this case, but it works and if your monitor is wide enough, there should be no problem

After eight years in existence Vivaldi hasn‘t managed to get more than a stagnating 2.4m users. They once said, they needed at least 5m to become profitable. That’s giving me a pause to think.
Opera is being used by more than 300m people and even Brave, roughly as old as Vivaldi, is having 50m users.
As a matter of fact, although it may be praised by loyal users, it hardly hasn’t any real world impact though. One might regret it, but that’s the way it is. -

@celticcross 100% irrelevant to me. I can continue to use a browser that randomly nukes my tabs (which are essential to my job) or I can use Vivaldi. I'll give V a go, if it poops the bed I'll reluctantly to go Firefox.
So far V hasn't wiped my tabs, which suggest their devs might just give a crap about their users, more than I can say about O.

@beorn1 Same here, I'm quite happy with Vivaldi right now, it's the next best thing if you want something similar to Opera.
It has a different approach on some of it's features, but the level of customization makes up for it, to adjust it to my needs.
And most importantly, it hasn't nuked my tabs either.

@mixchild I guess you mean "one workspace"?.
However I experienced the same at least once with the latest three Opera One releases (currently version 102.0.4880.33 on Windows 11 Home), that all tabs of the last opened workspace where wiped out at starting the first browser window.
It seems that Opera does not properly distinguish between the first opened window and any further "New Window", which is opened with empty workspaces, except one speed dial tab.
According to my settings the first browser window should be opened with my last tab configuration. Occasionally it works that way but in most cases it still starts by displaying an additional speed dial window and not the last opened tab, consequently overriding my setting not to "Display the start page first". And once in a while it starts the last opened workspace empty with only the start page, treating the workspace as if it was part of a "New Window".But what Opera does when starting the first window is totally unpredictable. I do not use islands and I always close Opera the same way and I get all 3 possibilities on startup as described above, no idea how to reproduce them:
- correct start (no tab loss, displaying the last opened tab)
- start without tab loss but with start page first
- start with complete tab loss in last opened workspace with start page only

start with complete tab loss in last opened workspace with start page onlyI have to add a fourth possibility to this list, it happened just a few minutes ago:
- correct start (no tab loss, displaying the last opened tab)
- start without tab loss but with start page first
- start with complete tab loss in last opened workspace with start page only
- start without tab loss but with start page first in the last opened workspace, but complete tab loss at another workspace with start page only (only one workspace affected)
Wow, a completely new feature: randomized bug symptoms.
