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).

    • Jony Ive is reportedly working on multiple AI devices for OpenAI, including a mobile gadget by Hamid Ganji Last month, OpenAI announced acquiring Jony Ive's startup, io, in a $6.5 billion deal. Ive, who served as Apple's design chief for over two decades, moved to OpenAI to work on the company's AI hardware projects. While the details of these projects have remained relatively untold, Mark Gurman's Power On newsletter revealed some exciting insights about Jony Ive's work at OpenAI. According to Gurman, Apple's former design chief is now spearheading a series of groundbreaking AI hardware products for OpenAI. One of these under-development devices is described as a "mobile gadget" that takes the form of a "pendant" and can be worn around the neck. This device could allegedly allow users to access ChatGPT with voice commands. Another of Ive's works at OpenAI is a home device that functions similarly to a smart speaker. Users can put the device on a table and perform various tasks using OpenAI's ChatGPT. Interestingly, OpenAI also has a robot device under development. As Gurman says, this robot "will likely be a machine that develops a relationship with a human using AI." However, OpenAI's robot is still far from being made available on the market. After acquiring Jony Ive's startup, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman described Ive as the best designer in the world, adding that they can now work on the next generation of AI-powered computers. More details about OpenAI-Ive hardware products could emerge over the next few months. OpenAI was already rumored to be working on a mysterious AI gadget, presumably a screenless AI phone, which might be the same mobile gadget that Gurman revealed. While details of this alleged AI mobile are yet unknown, such a device could pose an alternative to conventional smartphones, raising the alarm for smartphone makers such as Apple, Samsung, and Google. Meanwhile, Apple might already be expecting such a device, as its services chief Eddy Cue allegedly said during his testimony at Google's antitrust case that iPhones might no longer exist 10 years from now.
    • Seems Nintendo have already thought of that after the Joy-Con drift in the Switch 2 EULA: Clause 16 of the EULA reads: "This arbitration provision precludes you and Nintendo from suing in court, having a trial by jury, or participating in a class action. You and Nintendo agree that arbitration will be solely on an individual basis and not as a class arbitration, class action, or any other kind of representative proceeding. You and Nintendo are each waiving the right to trial by a jury."
    • Cool glass phone you have in that silicon case bro
    • I can't say I ever noticed an OEM putting effort into user-friendly descriptions and icons who didn't also put effort into making good drivers. Usually, missing icons and descriptions was also a sign of bad drivers.
