I like to have selective tabbed browsing. In that I mean that I like to hold shift and click the link in order for it to open in a new tab. Whats annoying is that when I disable tabbed browsing in order to have selective tabbed browsing, I cannot select the "disable close button on tabs" option. It gets annoying because when I do opt to open a link in a tab, that damn X button is there on every tab. Is there a way to remove the X in the tab and still have tabbed browsing disabled?

also, i like firefox's search engine feature similar to the Opera one. Is there a way I can add search engines to it, and remove the other engines that are implemented in Opera's version?

In opera v9

Right click in the text area of the search engine and click on the Create Search Option. Enter a keyword for this search engine. And you are done.

You can delete engines from Preferences --> Search.

In older versions : http://opera-info.xorg.pl/en

Yes, you can remove "X" close button by editing Opera's standart skin.

1. Close Opera

2. Go to directory \Opera\skin\

Find standard_skin.zip and unpack it

3.Edit file skin.ini :

Comment sections:

[Pagebar Close Button Skin] and all sections [Pagebar Close Button Skin ****]

4. Save skin.ini and pack it into standard_skin.zip

Quick idea... Enable normal tabbed browsing so that the "Show Close Button on Each Tab" is selectable. Uncheck it, and then click OK. Then go back and change it back to your selective tabbed browsing. That should hold the option in there so that it will be disabled.

I cannot try this as I don't use Opera, but it sounds like it may work.

Why dont you set your middle click to open a new tab?

You can do it from Pref-->Advanced-->Shortcuts.

by middle click I assume you mean a middle mouse button? I only have a 2 button mouse (+ one on the thumb).

    • A summary of the article shouldn't be an issue in theory, as the information is all based within the document itself. The problem with a lot of AI models is that they are trained off both Wikipedia as a primary source and other secondary websites which have less reliable information. As an encyclopaedia it is no doubt going to have bias in one way or another, all encyclopaedias do. The difference is that there is a process for a lot of this information to be figured out whether or not it is an opinion, or the source of that information, and to be aware of the possible bias in the first place, even your own bias as a reader. The way many people understand languages these days is quite limited, particularly in certain areas of the world. This is obvious in many types of "journalism" where some articles are thinly disguised opinion pieces, Where language is carefully curated to push a point of view despite it looking like fact. This is partly why a lot of the Western world is now so divided.
    • I paid for a year subscription, starting in December, I think. I like the user-friendliness and assets like royalty-free music and sounds. But they need to fix some of the horrific bugs before they start adding more features. For starters, you should be able to drag stuff around the timeline without it completely obliterating transitions, synchronization timing, and clip lengths. If you already set up footage and audio how you want, and try to insert more by sliding content to the right, you'll have to clean it all up again. The scroll wheel constantly stops working, and you have to minimize the window and restore it to get it back. When selecting text at the top right in special text tools, it glitches and goes to "copy" mode with a weird pop-up on top of your cursor and you can't type. These are more important than AI tools and new features. Microsoft, start by making your product less painful to use.
    • 🙄 Whats the need to launder? Do you have any reputable sources?
    • Thanks, I'll download it and see how it goes. Gonna be tough. I've used Nova Launcher for around 10+ years I think.
    • Wikipedia has become hot molasses with mostly filth masquerading as truth. Most of it is the imagination of few writers who think of themselves as above god. The narrative setup is mind boggling.
