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!

ralf-brinkmann last edited by@andrew84 That works, but I would like to know: What is this "Search in open tabs"? I don't find anything about it in the help file.

@ralf-brinkmann It's kinda the replacement of Instant Search. It allows you to find an specific opened tab . Or should, at least.

@ralf-brinkmann I don't know. Maybe to search tabs among all currently opened tabs in all workspaces.
But for me it will be easier to manually reopen website that I need instead of searching it in opened tabs.*As I mentioned earlier (https://forums.opera.com/post/200118), they could just redesign the TabMenu for better view of currently opened tabs, leave 'recently closed' section in place and add search for both 'opened' and 'recently closed' tabs.
But they added cycling tab menu (Ctrl+Tab) instead that I will never use. It's difficult to imagine how I will press Ctrl + Tab Tab Tab ... to activate some tab if I have 30 tabs opened for example, I want using my mouse.
And now they added one more popup for opened tabs that is similar to cycling popup actually.
Two useless features in my my opinion, both are less functional than TabMenu. I just want quickly view my opened/recently tab by doing one click, without any dimming effects and searches/pressing keyboard keys many times. -

@leocg What again was this "instant search", that I never used and never needed? And how should this and the new tab search work?

@ralf-brinkmann Press the Instant Search icon in the sidebar -OR- press Alt-Spacebar to find out!
It's very nice! -

@treego I don't have (or better: use) a sidebar, I don't see any magnifying glass (like in andrew84's screenshot) and ALT-Spacebar opens the window context menu like usual (minimize, maximize, restore).

@ralf-brinkmann the feature(Instant Search) is removed in 68 version, you can still find it in 67 Stable version(in 67 Beta too).

A piece time ago you announced that some cross is fixed for the search fields on sidebar panels. But I noticed that the full Internal History page still has the old one.
On Bookmarks page the cross is invisible.
And suggestion, move the search field to the left, like in O58.

@ralf-brinkmann what about it? You can open it and search for open tabs, like I assumed earlier

Bug on 'Experiments' page.
After changing flag's state back to default, dropdown is highlighted blue anyway.
And dropdownΡ are bad here also (flickering while expanding + black border for selected item)
*Good news. It seems that the 'Quick Access' feature will be back.

@andrew84 I asked because I did not have the icon for it (the magnifying glass). Now I changed some Opera flags and back and it's there. For example this:
I changed it back and it's shown as "not default". -

Where's the "reopen closed tab button"? now we have "search in tabs" instead

@ralf-brinkmann this is a bug, I guess. All flags behave the same currently.
Change any flag, then return to Default and restart browser, the dropdown will be blue.
I reported it already in the blog. -

I heavily dislike the removal of the Tab menu and its substitution.
If this function is confusing for people, please add it via advanced options for power users.An alternative solution would be to let people search through all tabs on all machines - not just on the current one.
