@makuc9 This did it - Thanks!
I get that they're trying to differentiate Opera but it shouldn't be such an obscure process to set it back to the way it's been done since the dawn of tabs in browsers/applications.

"Hello! Please go into the options of Opera and Search:

Open a specific page or set of pages

and add your sites. :happy:"

This is not what he's looking for. He's looking for persistent PINNED tabs, as am I. The fact that Opera does not have this inherently is pretty awful. All other major browsers offer this functionality. This is the feature that is keeping me from making Opera my primary browser as I refuse to manually re-pin six tabs every time I launch Opera.
