      I wrote a small webserver (first in python, now converted to c++) that serves a websocket stream to the browser. For Opera, when I quit the server, (leaving the browser window open) then restart the server (even days/weeks later) Opera automatically reconnects to the server, as if it had been there all along. It's actually, a very convenient behavior, but neither Firefox nor Chrome do the same. (both of those require me to do a refresh in the browser to reconnect to the restarted server) I'm curious if this is a setting in Opera, and if so, how do I find it? (I'd love to be able enable it in other browsers)

        @the-mac-is-a-pc I don't think there is a setting for that.

          @leocg is that expected behavior? It's one I appreciate, so hope it doesn't change.

            @the-mac-is-a-pc No idea. In theory, it should behave like other Chromium based browsers.
