Captive networks is rather annoying when I'm travelling and have a multi-tab preloaded session running (or closed, not that it matters). Hotel, public transport, airport and airport networks that I've come across usually do something like this.

As Opera is my standard browser the captive networks will reload all existing tabs to the login page for that network. I don't think this applies to HTTPS-sites as they will throw off the reload and therefore keep the URL in the tab.

What I'm hoping for is some way for Opera to detect that it is connected to a captive network and open a new tab/window for login, rather than reloading every existing tab.

I do realize this might be an OS-issue as OS X has a built in Captive Network Assistant that opens a new window in Safari for login, but as far as I can tell Windows 10 (Bootcamp, main OS) does not have this feature.

I haven't installed flash player since it's an ever bigger annoyance with Opera.

The entire system is fresh (about a month old). Opera wasn't migrated from the old system either.

Hi,

I'm currently running the latest version of Opera (26.0.1656.60) on Yosemite. I keep experiencing Opera being a constant source of irritation due the resource hogging and battery drain.

If I'm on a site running videos or lots of pictures (eg. youtube and izismile.com) I'll notice the process "Opera Helper" taking up 100-140 % of my CPU and make the fan spin up to a noisy and extremely annoying level.

Have any of you guys any solutions to this issue besides switching to Win?
