@ndjayswal1 No need to repeat what you already said, just list the steps to reproduce the issue.

Something very simple, like:

Open Opera
Open page A, if the case
Wait y minutes
Etc

Steps to Reproduce the Issue:

1. Open Opera for Android.

2. Go to YouTube (just the homepage, without playing a video). (By searching on Google)

3. Open any video manually and let it play.

4. Open a duplicate tab of the video (using the duplicate tab option).

5. Close the duplicate tab instead of deleting it. (The issue remains when we duplicate can not deleted the tab)

6. Leave the original YouTube tab open and switch to another app and minimize Opera (or close opera try both)

7. Return to Opera after some time (a few minutes or hours).(Here i am not sure that how much time is to take to get this issue)

8. The YouTube tab has now automatically redirected to this video: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=maGKzRACwco.

Additional Notes:

The issue occurs only when closing the duplicate tab instead of deleting it.

Since deleting the duplicate tab completely stops the issue, it suggests a bug related to tab management (possibly involving duplicate tabs, back button behavior, or session restoration).

This happens multiple times a day under normal usage conditions.

Clearing cache/data and updating Opera does not fix the issue.

No browser extensions are involved.

@ndjayswal1 Opera for Android doesn't have a duplicate tab tool.

Ofcourse there is one.
you can check that on google search that too.
Also that duplicate tab completely copy that tab into similar tab in right side of that.
I regularly user of opera Android and mostly use this feature.
