For all of you MacOS users out there, I have a question.
In Windows, when using Vivaldi as your browser(or most likely any browser) you can right click in the tab bar at the top of the screen and then select things like Reopen Last Tab.
In MacOS, right click doesn't seem to be working at all within the tab bar. Am I missing a setting somewhere that allows right clicking of things like that?

@CliffWade canโt speak for Vivaldi, but when I right click tabs in Safari (photo).
There is a setting for secondary click, in their parlance.

@ShaunBurch Yeah I don't get that at all within Vivaldi. I'm wondering if I'm missing a setting within MacOS somewhere.

@ShaunBurch Oh, actually this answered my question. You actually have to right click on a tab that's already there, not a blank space on the tab bar like you do in Windows.

@CliffWade FYI, in macOS you have to right-click on the new tab button to get to that same menu you mentioned from Windows.
Right-clicking tabs will technically give you a different menu.

@AltCode Thank you. I had just discovered that right clicking an actual tab gives you a lot of options, including the one I wanted. But it's nice to know that clicking the new tab button gives me that option too. Thank you!

@CliffWade P.S. the reason you can't right an empty area on macOS is because the UI uses the CSS rule `-webkit-app-region: drag` to make empty areas in the window and the tab bar draggable. That rule unfortunately has the side-effect of disabling right-clicking.
Honestly, I thought they used `-webkit-app-region: drag` for the tab bar container on Windows (and Linux) as well, but I just inspected the UI, and nope, it's just a macOS thing.

@CliffWade P.P.S. if you were to place the tab bar on either the left or right (as opposed to the top or bottom). You could right-click an empty area of the tab bar on macOS as well.
In that configuration, they do not apply the `-webkit-app-region: drag` rule to the tab bar.
