      In the recent updates I have encountered this problem that Opera refreshes tabs automatically even while I'm using them (writing an email, watching a video etc) and it's so annoying and I can't find anywhere the settings to disable it. It's making me want to switch browser, even though I quite like Opera. Does anyone know the solution to this?

        @barzitect ,

        Did you find any solution? I am also facing the same issue.
        My teams meeting gets disconnected when it refreshes.

        Opera Team,
        Is this a bug in recent updates?

          @guhanath Unfortunately not. I have disabled tab snoozing, and it has reduced the times the pages refresh, but it hasn't made the problem go away completely.

              @guhanath I found this extension that was helpful for me. Hope it helps you too:

              https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/disable-automatic-tab-dis/dnhngfnfolbmhgealdpolmhimnoliiok

              Apparently Opera automatically discards inactive tabs, but in my case and yours it's discarding active tabs too. Anyway you can go to opera://discards to see which tabs are discardable and toggle them on or off. With this extension for me none of the tabs are discardable anymore.
