opera desktop, SDI, Customize
I met a guy who likes Opera but would prefer to use windows instead of tabs. The more technical name for this is SDI (
Single Document Interface) opposed to MDI (
Multiple Document Interface) or TDI (
Tabbed Document Interface, which is kind of a crippled MDI).
As Opera is astonishing customizable it is pretty easy to make Opera behave like a SDI application. But it requires to change several settings. During my research I couldn't find a somehow complete guide for this. So here is my comprehensive description to make Opera SDI-like.
Update: Shoust made a nice Custom Button that toggles between SDI and MDI, which very easily changes the settings for Open windows instead of tabs, tab bar and Middle click option (background window / background tab):

Customize, Custom buttons, Opera extensions, opera desktop
After I
edited the Opera menus it was only a short way to refine my custom buttons. Especially the unclose tabs button with one click to reopen the last closed tab while also showing the list of blocked popups and closed tabs was something I looked for quite a long time and didn't find.

Towards my prior post here is the file for the changed context menu.
I used the
HARDER (but much better) method: only the updated sections are in this file, the rest is used from the default menu.ini - that is a big advantage for the case the default settings of Opera are changed and it is easier to maintain.
