      Please bring back the gesture to hold down the right mouse button and scroll through the tabs with the mouse wheel like in Opera12.
      There are Extension who should provide that gesture but they do not work. You just released some more mouse gestures to open links in a new tab or window or in a background tab. But why not that important one? Firefox has that gesture already by default, GoogleChrome has working extensions. Come on Opera. I read and wrote about this request already more than 7 months ago.

        This is not the Suggestion Box forum. The devs generally don't show up here to read posts.

        GoogleChrome has working extensions.

        Using the 'Download Chrome Extension' you can install Chrome extensions in Opera. Give that a try.

              No extension of the GoogleChrome Extension Store works. Smooth Gestures Plus, Tab Wheel Scroll, miniGestures, crxMouse Chrome Gestures, Gestures for Google Chrome™, and more. All of them do not recognize the Tabs with operaSpeedDial as a Tabs, most of them are poorly done and unusable, and many of them dont work at all.

              If someone find one that works would be great. Firefox has a working extension called FireGesture but it is only for firefox.
              Opera has to add this gesture again.

                I also miss that very effective mouse gesture. Why do not the opera's devlopers implement it back. I thing it isn't so dificult task for them, is it?

                  They are working on it. Its not that its difficult, its that there are higher priority things they are working on first.

                    This works perfectly for me: https://addons.opera.com/extensions/details/moregestures

                    Though I agree with that it should be built in.

                      Yes, I hope since the first release of ChromiumOpera in 2013 that it will come back. They implemented two new gestures in the latest build but not this, there are working gestures for Firefox+Chrome and it was so great in Opera12. I gonna try Vivaldi soon and will leave Opera probably if they stay that slow with improvement.

                      This works perfectly for me

                      Thanks, but this works not at all for me. The Extension dosent work on new tabs/SpeedDail-tabs and gets distracted with minimal mouse movement.
