If you’re someone who browses the internet with multiple tabs open (especially in Opera GX), you probably know how annoying it can be to manually refresh each one. Whether you’re monitoring real-time data, refreshing game dashboards, or simply multitasking, refreshing all your tabs at once can be a huge time-saver.
Good news: Opera GX has a built-in feature that allows you to refresh all open tabs in just a couple of clicks — no extensions required. In this guide, we’ll walk you through all possible ways to refresh tabs: all at once, selectively, or in groups.
✅ What You’ll Need:
👉 Download Opera GX here if you haven’t already.
📌 Method 1: Refresh All Tabs in One Click
Let’s begin with the simplest method.
🔹 Steps:
- Open Opera GX on your computer.
- Navigate to any open tab (it doesn’t matter which one).
- Right-click on the tab.
- From the context menu, select “Reload all tabs.”
And that’s it! All your tabs will reload instantly — super useful when you’re tracking updates across multiple pages.
🔁 Method 2: Refresh a Range of Tabs
Let’s say you only want to refresh a range of tabs — like from Tab 1 to Tab 5 — without affecting others.
🔹 Here’s how to do it:
- Click on the first tab in the range.
- Hold the
Shiftkey on your keyboard. - While holding Shift, click on the last tab in the desired range.
- Now, all tabs between the first and last are selected.
- Right-click on any of the selected tabs and choose “Reload tabs.”
You’ll notice only the selected group of tabs reloads — neat, right?
🔂 Method 3: Refresh Only Specific Tabs (Non-Consecutive)
This method is for you if the tabs you want to refresh are not next to each other — like Tab 2, Tab 4, and Tab 6.
🔹 Follow these steps:
- Hold down the
Ctrlkey (Windows) orCmdkey (Mac). - While holding the key, click on each tab you want to refresh individually.
- Once all desired tabs are selected, right-click on any one of them.
- Choose “Reload tabs” from the menu.
Now only those specific tabs will be refreshed — not everything else.
🎯 Why Is This Useful?
Refreshing tabs in bulk saves:
- ⏱️ Time — No more manual refreshes.
- 💻 System Resources — Keeps only selected tabs updated.
- 💡 Focus — You control which tabs to reload based on relevance.
❓FAQ: Opera GX Tab Refreshing
Q1: Can I auto-refresh tabs at intervals in Opera GX?
👉 Currently, Opera GX doesn’t offer native auto-refresh options at intervals. You’ll need an extension from the Chrome Web Store, such as Easy Auto Refresh.
Q2: Will reloading tabs lose my form data or inputs?
👉 Yes. If you’ve typed something into a form or comment box and haven’t submitted it, a refresh may wipe that content.
Q3: Can I undo a tab refresh?
👉 No, once a tab is reloaded, previous content (especially unsaved data) is lost unless cached by the website.
