Hi, I'm on Opera GX LVL 2 (core: 68.0.3618.206) and have the same issue.

Please add an option to hide close button on each tab.
This option was present in Opera 12, I don't know why it still isn't in the lastest Chromium based version.

A user suggested it already in 2015, so why it still isn't brought back?
Why we (at least some of us) need it:

• MMB already closes the tab
• some people click on the X (close button) accidentally, which causes frustration
• I know that it hides itself automatically if there are too many tabs opened, but still why not give an option to hide it all the time?
• it clutters the tab title
• there is demand for this feature: How to remove tab close button?, How do you remove the close button on each tab?, Is it possible to hide close buttons on tabs?

@leocg Thanks, version .434 fixed the issue, but opera://update didn't work for me, I don't remember when it has worked actually. Opera just downloads latest version sometime after it is released (not on the same day), marks O icon with an update is downloaded and I need to restart the browser. But whenever I go to opera://update it just constantly checks for updates, but there is no progress bar or anything, and it never finishes.
So I had to download latest version from Download page to fix GMail issue. Using GX by the way.

Yeah! It's finally here!

How come I can't download it? Latest version in Google Play for me is v60

When will we get Opera's Player in the Sidebar?

D because of spacey theme related to Opera GX, 2nd place would be F!

Great feature, just tried it. Waiting for it in Opera GX!

I tried changing the options, but didn't notice any difference on GX Corner or Speed Dial.
So what is it? Couldn't find any explanation on this anywhere.

I know that this was already asked several times:

• How to add a start page/speed dial button to the toolbar in gx?
• Why they removed "GO TO SPEED DIAL" Button
• [Request]Add Speed Dial button
• Opera GX Has No Home Button
• Homepage button.

But why Opera team has still not responded to this yet?
I know that there is a Speed Dial button in the Sidebar, but it's too far away, and it also functions differently. Why not at least give an option, which is disabled by default, so that those who need the button, can enable it?
