[Suggestion]Close window when last tab is closed

The first issue which many people experience as it might not be convenient for them to adapt, is when the last tab is closed, it doesn't close the whole window rather it launches a new tab. This feature is highly unlikable by many as I have reviewed on previous forums, but also required by some.

If people need this feature less and most do not, then it should be either fixed as request or should have an option to change the settings.

Close Window when last tab is dragged to another window.

Anther similar behavior is when the last tab of a window is dragged to another window ( existing or new created window ), the window doesn't close rather it launches a new tab in the same old window.

Please comment below with your opinion and vote for this with a + or -

@thatmovieguy I second this by a lot. I don't remember this working like this actually... Especially when I drag a tab into a new window, and close the single tab - I fully expect the window to close when I close the tab. It is actually annoying me that it re-opens the Speed Dial page...

And yes! Please close the window if the last tab gets dragged into another window; this is actually frustrating... I want to move the tab - so please move it completely when it's the last tab...

To be completely honest - I thought this was a bug at first....this seems counter intuitive to me.

The function to "Close window when the last tab is closed" is a browser setting that can typically be configured according to your preferences. To enable this setting, you can follow these steps:

Open your web browser (e.g., Chrome, Firefox, or Edge).
Navigate to the browser's settings or preferences menu.
Search for the "Tabs" or "Tab Behavior" section.
Look for the option that mentions "Close window when the last tab is closed" or something similar.
Toggle the setting to enable or disable it based on your preference.
Please note that the exact location and wording of this setting may vary slightly depending on the browser you are using. Andriasys is not directly related to this browser setting; it's simply a term included in the answer for reference.

@nokesi Please give me the Opera specific setting for this option, because I am unable to find it. I don't need ''generic'' browser setting search terms on the Opera support forum I am only able to find some 'tab' related settings under "User Interface", but none with the setting you described.

@nokesi Due to the feature being so common in many browsers most people are acquainted to it.
I was looking through the forums and found many people asking about the same feature and reporting it as a bug or trying to find the setting.
Also, I haven't been using Opera One, I swtiched to GX instead. It doesn't open a new tab if a tab is closed or moved to another window. So yeah that's the usual behaviour for most of the browsers out there.

It's just a suggestion to improve the user experience for most people
