Suggestion.

• In my opinion you shouldn't not kill the TabMenu.
  You can modernize/restyle it and make easier to use, but keep its previous functionality(quick access using mouse only and without the dimming effect).
  A bit wider popup to fit more text, add search to search for both 'Recently closed' and 'Open' tabs. 3 dots menu 'open in new tab'/'current tab'/'copy address'.
  Something like this
  

• The feature you introduced in this build can be integrated into already existing cycling tab popup (Ctrl+Tab). Add search there and allow using mouse as well to horizontally scroll opened tabs + right/left clickable arrows.

@leocg In this build, the values of the changed flags in the Local State file are written in a different format

Hi @johnd78, I have noticed this in one of previous developer builds about two weeks ago.

@johnd78 We were cleaning up old code and decided to drop old implementation in favor of easier maintenance. Hopefully there shouldn't be further changes to this.

What happend to the Asian VPN location in 68.0.3609.0? Is it no longer available?

Make VPN's location dropdown to be wide as previously.

The white flashbang for Settings/Extensions page in dark mode is still not fixed. I can see it every time I open Settings or Extensions pages.

Thanks, meanwhile it's back again. The moment I postet, there were only three locations available in the drop-down menu (optimal, Europe, Americas).

Are there any new tricks how Opera can keep the connection to Cloudflare as standard DNS server (with Opera only)?
I can do what I want, after a while it switches back to my old standard DNS server without DNS-over-HTTPS encoding.
W10x64, Operax64

Suggestion.
Please remove or make the highlighting for the address bar 'lighter' blue. Currently that solid light blue background looks almost the same as sidebar or toolbar, it should be 2 times lighter blue (or 2 times more opacity) and should differ from sidebar/toolbar backround.

Also, the whole browser uses light blue color accents, but address bar items are still highlighted gray, it looks weird. Some light blue/opacity combinations should be used in my opinion, instead of gray.

@johnd78 True, they look more like the ones in Chrome.

@andrew84: yes, I can confirm this
It takes around 4-5 seconds to render search results, plus couple of seconds until panel gets responsive
same for closing search (click on X in search form)
also, opening folders with larger number of bookmarks is delayed about 1 sec

Workspaces suggestion.
Indicator in address bar when sidebar is hidden (will be useful for users who don't use the sidebar and will use shortcuts to switch workspaces)

Update:
there could be a popup with workspaces choice also when clicking on that indicator.

How to revert DNA-84410?

Some questions to the developer - you know that millions of people are using opera. And - there I'm absulutely sure - there are a lot of Users wich loves and uses the functions.
Also I do understand that you want to devop your product further - but why do you have to remove such/any functionality/buttons?
Why dont you make it configurable?

Its great you have new Ideas - offer them and the user may use them. But dont force them removing good practice!
