@slooshie Exactly! I was using chrome for past 10 years, recently switched to Opera and this is one of the things that bug me the most. You can't even middle click to close a pinned tab, you just have to right click and select "Close tab". I mean who has time for that? Also not being able to use new tab extensions on Opera is also very infuriating.

Your version of Windows : 11

Your version of Opera : 95.0.4635.37

A description of the problem, including as much as information as possible :

In every other modern browser, you can select a text from a website, and drag-drop it on the top bar (where tabs are) and it searches the dragged text in the default search engine, or if it's a url, opens it. That's where Opera's problem is, it does open the link, but it has some opinions on which tab it will open, I couldn't find any pattern for that so I'm guessing it's by random. And frankly I find it absolutely infuriating.

Steps to reproduce the issue :

• Have 2 tabs open in Opera
• Get on a website on a third tab
• Select a word in the website by dragging your mouse or double clicking on it.
• Drag the selected text on top of the browser, and drop it on either a certain tab, or on the empty space on right side of the tabs.
• Watch opera search the text in a totally random tab.

Expected behavior and actual one :
Every other browser searches the dragged text in 2 ways,
if it's dropped on a tab : searches it on the "dropped" tab,
if it's dropped on the empty space : creates a new tab and searches on that.
