How to disable tabs entirely?
-
How do I disable tabs entirely? I saw an old posting that starting the browser as vivaldi --new-window does it, but that doesn't seem to work. I can't see any option in settings. I want tabs to be impossible, I always get a new window.

@xpusostomos I doubt if it is possible.
You could disable the shortcuts for new tabs, in settings, keyboard, and customise the menus to remove all such options, but links would still open a new tab with left-click.
You would also have to remember to right-click, open link in new window.

Hi, what do you meant with this, moving a tab?
If yes, never move a tab vertical only horizontal.
Vertical down open a new window.@barbudo2005
Hi, you still can create tabs but you cant see them, is this correct? -

From what I understand, it opens each link in a new window, so if you disable this setting you will not see tabs in each window.

@Pesala That's not good enough, because you'll still end up with tabs when javascript tells it to. I thought Vivaldi was supposed to be the most customisable browser, but Chrome and Firefox can be made to do this.
-
@barbudo2005 But you still get tabs then, you just can't see them. I don't fully understand what the point of this is, but you definitely don't get new windows.

How do you disable tabbed browsing in Chrome?
I know this was possible in the past but it was removed long time ago. -
@xpusostomos Due you have any such link in a webpage that does not open in a new window if you right-click and open it in a new window?

@mib2berlin It's an extension

@Pesala Several things... one is I would get RSI if I had to do that every time. But also, web developers sometimes use CSS to make links look like buttons, so you don't always know when you are clicking a link or a button.

@xpusostomos Does the extension not work on Vivaldi?
In case you are unaware, Chrome extensions work in Vivaldi, but some, that rely on Chrome specific components, don't work properly.

@nomadic ok, I didn't know that, I'll look into it.
-
@nomadic OK, looks like that does work, so thanks for that!
Pity it's not a built-in though
