Bumping this to see if it can get stickied, it's a more modern guide and it's very helpful and thoughtful.

I didn't know this existed. :o Though its old by a few years, I do think this is very helpful and think that we should have some sort of guide for any newbies.

I'm not truly sure whether it's any faster or slower than Opera 12, but if anyone else was interested in trying this method, I'd like to share what I've figured out about Opera 48. ^.^

I ran some very rudimentary timed tests between Opera 12 and 48 with 10, 200, 400, and 1000 links and found that they generally ran through the tabs with similar completion times. Opera 12 was a bit faster at and below 200 links and pretty closely matched Opera 48 at 400 and 1000. I like the sleek look of Opera 48, and put this together for anyone who needs anything in it. These aforementioned tests were not at all scientifically conducted. :t-sweat:
- - -
Basically, it comes down to:
[Download Opera] >> [Download LinkClump + adjust settings] >>
[Download Tampermonkey] >>[Install CloseIt] >> [???] >> [Profit!!]

And this time, there really is a profit!


1. Install the most recent version of Opera. I just went to the Opera site and downloaded the most conveniently downloaded version of this browser.

2. Install LinkClump. Like TheNewBlack said, SnapLinks does not work on newer versions of Opera. Instead, I found LinkClump, which has been doing the job for me. (You should check the Permissions, as they differ a bit from the SnapLinks permissions.)

3. Open the LinkClump options. LinkClump is currently buggy in that the only method of clicking that doesn't work is using the right mouse button click and drag. If you change the settings to left mouse button, it will work like a charm, and in my case, help my hand through long goldmining sprees!

You can access the settings through one of two methods:
a) the pop-up that will open when you first install LinkClump
Image
b) open the Extensions menu (shortcut: Ctrl+Shift+E) and going to Options under "LinkClump"
Image
4. Change the default LinkClump settings. When you get to the settings, click on the Edit button in that Actions tab and look at the top of the options listed. I recommend trying a left click setting with an optional key, and recommend against using only the left click, as this may interfere with normal left clicking functions on Opera.
Image
You can see here that my preferred setting is left mouse button + Z. Remember to save before exiting!

5. Download TamperMonkey. Tampermonkey is a great extension that could have a lot of uses outside of just Magistream! It allows you to manage userscripts in-browser, including the all-important CloseIt userscript.

6. Install the CloseIt script. Click on the new little Tampermonkey icon in the upper right of your browser. Select "Add a new script..." in the menu that pops up. It should look a little something like this:
Image
In the tab that pops up, select all the text in the text box and delete it.
Image
Replace it with the following code:

Code: Select all

// ==UserScript==
// @name           CloseIt
// @namespace      Magistream
// @include        http://magistream.com/creature/*
// ==/UserScript==

window.close();
Again, remember to save:

7. Mine away! Rake in that gold! Read a book if you're like me and like opening 1000 links at once and giving your computer a minute to process the gargantuan task you've suddenly thrust upon it! And profit big time. I'm sure you've already read Doggyears' and TheNewBlack's great posts if you're reading this, and you'll find great goldmining tips and resources that apply the same to Opera 48!
Super late to the party BUT I am having problems finding some of the extensions on Opera. I looked for Snap-Links got nothing, tried the Link-Clump and got nothing. Did they change something on Opera? Am I doing something wrong?
