Opera wish-list guide: restore detach of tabs

Tuesday, February 24, 2009 11:15:37 PM

, , , , , ,

Here is a list of just some relevant forum topics where people ask for return of real detach of tabs -- as it was in pre Opera 9.5 or do it better. Opera "fixed" one potential (I didn't find any public complains about this on Opera forums, nor anywhere on Opera Community blogs) UI problem with simply removal of this feature completely.

I believe ~20 topics, ~300 replies and ~15000 views should finally bring some attention of Opera developers.

With Safari 4 and Chrome have almost the same functionality working (tabs tearing) I think there will be more and more new treads asking the same for Opera. BTW, even Firefox now has smother tab tearing behaviour than modern Opera does (for example, it doesn't leave empty window after last tab was moved to other window).

Do you have some way of demonstrating what this feature deos? Maybe you have an old build you can demo with? I'm just curious.

Opera 9.27 allows detaching. Available at the following links:

Windows, ftp://ftp.opera.com/pub/opera/win/927/

Linux, ftp://ftp.opera.com/pub/opera/linux/927/final/en/

Hi Fatal,

Is it proper to post a whish list here as there are similar working between detached tabs and sandboxed tabs. Ive created a Sandboxed wish list here: http://my.opera.com/community/forums/topic.dml?id=401691&t=1265694450&page=1

Please let me know if I am intruding Sir.

Thank you!

continue saving image in a page that has been closed before image completely loaded.
Normally opera leave image downloading (stop downloading) when you save image on a page and close page before the image loads completely.
