Hello
Both these settings and this blocker do not prevent Opera from opening a new tab.
It blocks the ad, this is working, but it does not prevent the opening of the new tab when clicking.
If you want to get an idea of what I'm talking about, check out this site

You will see that even if you click on the blank space of the website, it will open a new tab. That's what I want to block
@yoyolo said in Prevent Opera from opening new tabs automatically:
Here is how you make the change in current versions of the Opera web browser:
Activate the Opera Menu at the top left and select Settings. You may use Ctrl-P alternatively to open the Settings, or load opera://settings instead which does open the preferences as well.
Select Advanced and scroll down on the page until you get to the "on startup" section on the Settings page. You may also run a search for startup instead to display only that preference group.
Flip the state of Display the start page first under "Retain tabs from previous session" to disable the feature that loads a new tab page whenever Opera starts.
I suggest you test the change by closing Opera and opening the browser again. If everything worked out, Opera should just load the tabs of the previous browsing session.
Thank you for your instructions. Really quite accurate, but the case is not about when I start Opera, but when I am browsing sites like the one I mentioned above.
It is not about preventing Opera from opening new tabs at startup, but about preventing Opera from opening new tabs when I click on something. For example, the website above where you click on any point and it opens a tab!
