@LonM But we need another shortcut please.

Since 2.2 there is a workaround to clone a tab with all of it history in opposite way (Private => Normal) select tab you want to clone holding Ctrl right click and select "save as session" from popup menu load this session in normal window I found a bug there (tabs are loaded as pinned / reported as VB-47199) but generally it works It does not work in direction that You wanted because of another bug ("Open session in new window" checkbox is not respected in private windows / reported as VB-47198). Anyway nobody (on this forum) could tell me if saving sessions in private windows is bug or feature despite I asked.

Yes, but: I don't want to change the tab position in the tabbar sometimes I can't do this due to page restrictions, like mentioned by pauloaguia

@Pesala I reopened my [Settings > Tabs] tab. There's indeed a general New Tab Position setting, and a Cloned Tab Postion setting: I agree that the option to make Back-opened tab open to the left should not exist as one more option in the "New Tab Position" selector, but rather as a tick box, named for instance "Tabs opened from the Previous or Rewind buttons should be placed left of the active Tab". This box could be placed either in the "Tab Handling" column, or in its own special column, which could be named, for instance, "More Tab Position Options", or "History-related Tab Position Options".

I'd support this change. As people say, "Clone" and "Close" are visually too similar. It's true that "Clone" and "Close" are located far apart in the context menu on Vivaldi, but "Close" is the 2nd item on Safari (which doesn't have a Duplicate functionality), so Safari users coming to Vivaldi may well be confused. Another example is iTerm2. On its context menu, "Duplicate Tab" comes next to (or below) "Close Tab". I'm afraid that catering for the former Opera users is a weak argument, because even the former Opera users would not be confused by "Duplicate Tab". Personally I find the term "clone" charming and "duplicate" boring, but that charm shouldn't be a valid reason for causing a usability problem. Of course, this isn't a major issue at all.
