Haven’t you downloaded Opera 11 Beta yet download now, we’ve covered all the new features added in Opera 11 Alpha, there are two new features added to Opera 11 Beta, Stack tabs and Pin tabs .
Stack Tabs in Opera
You can stack tabs in Opera, just drag one tab on top of another tab, these two tabs are grouped which Opera calls it as a Tab Stack. Opera tries to add something like to Panorama. You can open, close stack with arrow button on last page of the group.
You can unstack all pages by right click on the arrow>Tab Stack>Unstack all pages.
Similarly you can close the stack also by arrow>Tab Stack>Close Stack.
Pinning tabs in Opera
Pinning Tabs in Opera is may not exciting new feature as Firefox 4 dubbed Chrome’s Pinning Tabs as App Tabs, you can pin a tab in Opera by right clicking on the tab and select “Pin Tab”.
You can unpin that tab by right clicking on the tab and uncheck “Pin Tab”. You can Pin a tab, but you can’t pin a tab in stack or stack of Tabs.
Thanks for your blog!
There is a lot of useful info here! Thanks for that.
I have a question though. Is there anyway to disable the tab stack feature?
Thank you.
Can u tell me reason why u want to disable this feature, anyway we’ll look to cover your doubt in future for sure.
Thanks for replying!
I don’t want it mostly because it annoys me and also, because, i don’t use it.
Sometimes when i accidentally double click one of the tabs, they all go stacked. :(
Thank you a lot!
Yes, agree with MerolaC. It’s very annoying and would be great if this feature can be disabled.
Another reason why this feature should be an optional or fixed – without stack, when you close tab, you go to the last active one. When stacks are enabled, after you close a tab you go directly to the primary tab of current stack, even if lastly active tab was different, and you still have proper option selected in preferences.
Please let us have an option to disable tab stacking!
take this shit away pls! or i stop using opera after many many years…
worst change so far. who told u this tab stacking thing is good and innovative? annoying shit…
i want control back over my tabs. NOW!
I still think that this feature is quite interesting. I already found it useful while working on multiple sites in various domains. However – closing tabs and returning to parent tab instead of last visited one is not something that I would expect and enjoy. Hard not to agree with “Marek”. Good job, but need some last fining touches.
Well, they fixed it.
Not tabs doesn’t stack automatically but by user request :D

No automatic stacking
Improvements to dragging tabs in and out of stacks
Only the active tab in collapsed stacks are part of the tab order
Fixed various tab order bugs

So, errrrr, just what is the benefit of pinning a tab?
To gain some space on tab bar
