@boti99: I like it especially if i accidentally opened the same link twice.

@leocg: You can make smarter decisions though, this decision is quite devoid of any thinking what so ever.
There are many ways to search through tabs as well. Many more ways then reopening a closed tab or viewing what tabs you closed. Your argument doesn't hold.

@leocg actually you can keep adding switches. Notice the empty spaces on the sidebar? Even make it optional! My what a word. But Opera hates optional things and would much rather choose what you want for you.

@leocg this shows me that they are only able to add or get rid of feature never fully flesh them out. Such a disappointment.

I don't want the premade exception to return after every update especially when I have deleted them all before the update.

@leocg here's one that is used by pretty much every single chrome power-user.
"ctrl + tab " or "ctrl + shift + tab " plus if im not mistaken theres another way to do it as well which is a bit more like going through it.Here's a reason why someone, might want them. Maybe they do not want to pin the tab but instead would like to close it in order to save memory and then check back on it at a later time that day or if for example you accidentally closed the tab, its nice to quickly click the button to check and filter. Plus if I'm not mistaken the old way also had a list of all opened tabs. So in a sense this feature change is a step backwards.

@leocg then maybe Opera should wise-up a bit and stop injecting the browser with "features" or bloat for the most part that doesn't make much sense. Unless they give more power/options (less restrictions[have a whole list
]) to their users. But we both know that's not going to happen. -

@leocg it shows you the entire list of tabs that are open, plus their names and thumbnail. Not hard to look through. And here's another suggestion if Opera is so hellbent on putting in a tab searcher then why doesn't it replace the defunct search box with it? It's a smarter way of adding it at the very least than what is currently in place. Especially if it's made optional too.
Or even adding the search feature the preexisting ctrl+tab feature. Now that would be actually incredibly smart. -

@leocg Sure they can go through the hassle of going there and being met with the entire list of history or if they forgot what was the name of it randomly enter words in the addressbar.
Or they could click a button and pretty much see exactly what they wanted to see which is a small list of closed tabs where you can easily find any tabs that you closed and forgot the names of. You pick which one is better. -

@leocg I think you'd have a high chance of remembering or finding out a forgotten website if you have smaller list to look at.
What I've noticed is Opera forces a lot of things onto it's users for no good reason. Forcing users to adopt the half-baked sidebar for the feature that they took away from the usual location.
Restricting users from picking their own search engines and forcing popular geo-located search engines instead. (Note: Popular doesn't mean good.)
Among other things like poor choices of features.
Forcing exception lists in the adblock.I could go on but the likelihood of Opera changing any of it is tiny or even address it. Especially since most of these have been asked by many users over the years.

@leocg more button clicks is not a good thing. Still not a good argument for the change that Opera has done.
I also like that you ignored quite a few of the things i mentioned. Smarter positioning for example, or not restricting users so much.

@leocg said in Opera 69.0.3638.0 developer update:
More switches means more code that means more bugs
Following your logic it's also possible to say 'more features means more code that means more bugs'.
So let's clean up Opera browser from features and the code will be reduced twice maybe, and bugs as well.
But it should be taken into account, that most of the users use Opera because of handy
features. And if there are already many complaints about the removed feature and there were almost zero requests about removing the feature, this feature can be named as 'handy'.
What does really mean more cost keep the code this is removing/changing features and later returning the features back or implementing features that nobody will use. -

@artexjay Usually you add something new to a product or service in order to try to bring more new users and keep the current ones.
So, although I understand your point, adding new features will always be necessary. And the removal of those that have no impact anymore too.
