“Tab management in opera is pretty nice, by a single command (Ctrl+Space) you can access a menu with all the tabs you have open at that moment, if that isn't sufficient, we can also search for any tab typing his name.”

“Unfortunately this is one of the areas I don't find as useful within Opera in comparison to other browsers such as Google Chrome. It is too difficult to reopen closed tabs and often when the browser crashes the last session file is corrupted and won't load. As a person who constantly has 20+ tabs open (research for my job) it's important that I be able to save these but I don't need to permanently save them as a bookmark system would do. Chrome has an option where it saves the last tabs and when you close out the browser or it crashes, if you go back to your history you will see each window instance and how many tabs were open and if you click it it will reload that entire window. That way if you ONLY want your window open that had 7 tabs you can do that, or if you want to reload all windows you can do that as well. It's up the the user and the information rarely gets lost or corrupted like it frequently does with Opera.”
