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).

    • Surface Copilot+ PCs coming to classrooms from July 22, turbocharged with on-device AI by Paul Hill Microsoft has announced that it’s launching the new Surface Pro 12-inch and Surface Laptop 13-inch models specifically for education customers from July 22. The Redmond giant said that these devices are being launched as a direct response to feedback from educators who want practicality and ease of use in their diverse classrooms. These are both Copilot+ PCs so teachers and students will be able to leverage the latest AI features thanks to the dedicated Neural Processing Units (NPUs) that allow for on-device AI. The on-device AI, aside from delivering well-known features like Recall, will enable new education features such as a new app Microsoft is working on called Microsoft Learning Zone. Microsoft Learning Zone will allow teachers to create personalized lessons by adapting content from trusted sources like OpenStax, generating interactive games with Kahoot, and tracking students progress. Microsoft expects this to help teachers save time and deliver a more flexible and engaging classroom. Another AI feature that will be available is Click to Do. This lets students highlight text or images and get contextual help. It can be used to summarize a paragraph or explain a graph. To activate it, students can press the Windows key and click. This feature runs entirely on device so inputs to the AI are secure and you don’t need to ever worry about third-parties seeing. Finally, these devices will also have accessibility features such as Voice Access which lets you navigate with speech and Live Captions which provide real-time subtitles and translations for spoken content. These make the devices more inclusive for students with disabilities. Regarding security, these laptops come with the Microsoft Pluton security chip directly integrated into the processor for protecting sensitive data. It can protect data such as passwords and sign-ins, even if your device is stolen. Thanks to automatic Windows Updates, schools never need to worry about falling behind on updates either. With the impending demise of Windows 10 in mid-October, these Surface devices arrive just in time for schools looking for somewhere to upgrade to. Aside from AI features and security, Microsoft is also pushing other key features including easy repair with replacement components at the Microsoft Store and iFixit, their lightweight design and all-day battery life making them ideal for carrying and surviving the school day, and their compatibility with popular education apps such as TestNav, Google Classroom, Minecraft Education, and Adobe Express.
    • Taras Buria, do you think you could write more about Windows Vista? It is always such a pleasure — quite a pleasure — to see it mentioned in the title of a news article. What about an editorial?
