<p dir="auto">I've been a faithful Opera user since 2003, and have never considered using anything else. I'm not one for fussing with add-ons or using tablets or mobile phones, just a plain desktop. Call me old-fashioned, but it works for me, and if it ain't broke, don't fix it.</p>
<p dir="auto">One thing that's keeping me from updating Opera lately is that a couple of the things I use a lot have vanished from these latest versions, and I'd love to have them back - most of all the "Open in background window" option. This makes a world of difference to my browsing and I'm not ashamed to say it was the feature that one me over back in 2003.</p>
<p dir="auto">Another useful feature gone the way of the dodo is the dropdown button on the address field. Once upon a time it was disabled but you could get it back on the config menus. I can't find it anymore... why? Is it so bloody hard to keep it going? Am I the only one left that uses that?</p>
<p dir="auto">Can I please get these things implemented back into Opera? I don't care if I have to go fetch them buried deep in some dark corner of the menus, but please leave the option to get them working.</p>
<p dir="auto">Cheers, Eddie</p>

<p dir="auto">"Open link in new tab" usually opens it in a new background tab. Middle click also works sometimes.</p>
