So, the reason that doesn't happen with opera mini (which doesn't display all pages as they should look like and therefore making opera for android as a secondary browser necessary - apart from the fact that both can't handle domain-based cookie management, so one is setup with, the other is setup without cookies enabled) is that opera mini is not based on chrome (but presto - still?)?
Thanks for the explanation.
No stock android running here, so, no(t much) crapware. Lots of tabs though and several apps open at all times.

Thanks for the insights into the workings of android systems!
According to CPU Info:
Total RAM: 1350MB
Available (= free?) (with my use case): ~ 400-700MB
Threshold (not sure what that means, maybe = minimum of free RAM for system not to crash): ~140MB -

Yes, just checked for features of the phone online, it's 1.5GB of RAM.Also finally checked the developer section's RAM overview:
"Opera for Android" has 4 entries while having 18 tabs "open", "Opera Mini" has just one entry while having 33 tabs "open".Apparently, CPU Info's "available" space/RAM isn't really "free" RAM as the developer's sections RAM view shows some 65MB of free RAM while CPU Info about 400MB "available"... On the other hand, in the developer's sections there are two view options, "processes in cache" and "active services". With the latter the free RAM value matches the value of CPU Info.
With "processes in cache" the opera instances are shown and shows a lower value for free RAM.On both versions of Opera data saving is activated.
So, the limited RAM seems to lead to "Opera for Android" to have to auto-reload the pages. I just thought it was a "feature" as a few versions back opera finally made it optional to have a new tab opened automatically after a certain amount of time of idle (or something along these lines...)...
