Mohamed Salah, senior director of product at Opera, said:
"The internet is an amazing place, but it can be chaotic and overwhelming. We decided to use evidence-based approaches to help our users navigate this space in a way that makes them feel better and function more efficiently"

I was totally taken aback.

Well, it seems that "Air" is nothing more than a transparent version of a previous of OP 101.

So, you don't have to click the plus-sign to get a new tab?

I like conservation of movement, but I'm not sure I can imagine this being a feature that's needed unless you need a lot of tabs, STAT!

LMK if I'm reading this incorrectly.

Correct.

For closing Tabs it is... (and that pointer is hard against the bezel..., as long as your pointer is over the tab)

That's likely a much more useful feature.

It's like when you take a couple tools out for a project... then go back to the shed 15 more times until you end up with half of what you own pulled out for the driveway: I never plan to add more than one tab, but I often have 8 to clean up.

For example:
I always wheel-click pertinent search results to open in individual background tabs, so I don't have to back-page to the original results page, then I check them out, then rapidly wheel-click them closed.
Another example:
When I log on here at 11F, I open all my new notifications in like manner, address them, then close them the same way.

What do you mean by "wheel click"? What function do you have your mouse wheel designated to do?

Middle-click, wheel-click..., it's the same thing.

Well, except that mine is assigned to "show desktop". I don't know what the default would be. :-)

The default is Middle-Click, which performs a host of actions depending on the app.

For instance, middle-clicking on a Chrome Bookmark opens it in a background Tab, Shift/middle-click opens it in a foreground Tab.

Interesting. I never used "Middle Click" before. I think I'll stick with "Show Desktop". That normally needs a lot of movement whereas "Middle Button" in a browser isn't much of an improvement over clicking the "+" or the "x" to close a window. It's all about conservation of movement!
