Opera Tab Window Filter

Epiphany

I have been using Opera for it must be 5 years now. I thought that I knew most of the tricks. Then today, I found a new massively helpful feature.

Windows – Tabs

For those Opera users out there, you already know, but for those that do not use Opera — Opera’s main selling point is its ability to manage large numbers of tabs. You can see from the screenshot below, we keep a lot of tabs open.

Of the browsers we have used, only one other browser (OmniWeb) comes close to managing tabs or windows in the same way, but it can not match the performance of Opera. So, Opera has been one of our most consistently used browsers. (we also use Firefox, Safari, and OmniWeb)

However, we do end up spending a lot of time searching for specific tabs. Often we have multiple tabs of a single website open, and that is what we are looking for.

Now we learned we can filter for just that website by typing in the whole name, or partials of the name into the search box above the tabs. Look how we filtered our tabs below.

This is going to save us a nice amount of time, as well as being easier on our eyes and brain. Try it out for yourself.
