Reopen the Last Closed Tabs

One of the easiest ways to reopen closed tabs on Opera is using the keyboard shortcut Ctrl + Shift + T (on Windows) OR Cmd + Shift + T (on macOS). However, if you are uncomfortable with shortcuts, you can reopen the last closed tab option from the tabs bar.

  1. Launch the Opera browser on a computer.
  2. Go to the Tabs bar above the search bar and right-click for the context menu.
  3. Select Reopen the last closed tab command.

If you continue to hit the Reopen Last Closed Tab or keypress the shortcuts button, it will reopen all the recently closed tabs one after the other in the browsing sessions.

Thankfully, the Opera browser keeps a record of all the browsing history logs unless you’re on a private window or have cleared your browsing history. Here are the steps to reopen the closed tab from the History menu:

  1. Launch the Opera browser on your computer.
  2. Click on Opera opera logo for the menu list.
  3. Select the History menu.
