@ceedee If I was strictly using Opera on a desktop or laptop with a mouse I would agree but why should tablet users have to use a mouse or attach a keyboard to use a function that used to be performed with the touch of a finger. This is nonsensical change that detracts from Opera's overall useability.

The OP's comment and the subsequent comments pertained to use of the current version on tablets specifically MS Surface Pro. Not computer where the primary input device is a mouse or pen.

As a MS Surface Pro and Opera user the deletion of the close via touch function is a nonsensical change which diminishes the useability of Opera on tablets and other touch devices. But seeing how there has been zero response from the development team nor any change that I can see in 102 beta or 103 developer versions, I guess they don't care about Windows tablets users.

Some good news for touch users. Opera 103 Beta has added the X back to the tab island. So 103 Stable should resolve this issue.

Thanks for the tip. Works like a charm. Just another useless "feature" added while useful features like restoring the ability to close individual tabs goes unfulfilled (MS Surface Pro Tablet User). I have been an Opera user for I guess 6 or more years and each version since 99 has been worse than the previous version.

I've been an Opera user for a number of years and have it installed on my Windows desktops and tablets. My biggest complaint with the 100 version is the lack of a close individual Tab function for tablet or touch users. I get it that one can hover over the tab with a mouse but when I using a tablet I don't want to use a mouse or attach a keyboard. This function was available on all my previous versions up until 100. Please restore this capability,
