[Feature request] Combine Pinned Tabs and Auto Tab Stacking for links opened from the pinned tab
- Once we pin a tab, the pinned page itself becomes unmodifiable- Any clicks on links within the page open it in a new tab.
- All new tabs opened from the pinned tab become part of a stack including the original pinned page
The 'Pin Tab' feature right now has very limited uses. Even if we do not pin a tab and it close it by mistake, we can always open it using the 'Closed Tabs button' or by selecting 'Open Previous Session' when we start opera. If aggressive Tab pinning is implemented as I suggest, Pinning Tabs will become much more useful !
Also starting new stacks from a Pinned Tab allows a user to select when he want to Auto Stack tabs rather than having it as a default or having to change the preferences every time.
Also new users complain about Tab stacking being confusing to them. Allowing them control over Tab stacking this way will be less confusing to them. Because a person who is unlikely to want Tab stacking is also less likely to Pin tabs while using Opera.
An Alternative idea : Give two options among the preferences
1.Always Open links from a Pinned tab in a new tab - Yes/No
2.When opening new links from a Pinned Tab, add them to a stack containing the Pinned Tab - Yes/No
I don't like it either.
It would even be problematic for me since my most important pinned tab is a front-end for a software(sabnzbd+) and if navigating through it would always open a new page, it would be a nightmare.
And I already voiced my disagreement for the auto-stack feature.
But I'm of course I'm never against a feature as long as it can be disabled, but that's sadly not the way opera seems to be going these days.

MAIN PC: 12.16 -> i7-2600k, 16GB RAM, Win 7 x64
HTPC: 15.0.1147.153 -> A10-6700, 8GB RAM, win 7 x64
I just keep getting more depressed every time I update opera. Very old bugs not fixed, easy fix not made(talking about no option to disable image resize here), new "features" even more annoying than the last ones implemented and often poor compatibility with a lot of website.

But there's two separate features - automatic tab stacking and "frozen" tabs
Not 2 but 3 features: Lock tab + Create follower tab + Autostack tab
Anyway, I think we seriously need options for stack tab.
First of all, please give us disabled stack tab option before worry about other stack tab options.
