First of all, I thank you for paying attention to the community, but that extra window in the taskbar looks horrible, it would only be to modify that so that the video in the pop-up window is perfect, regards.

@saam It's not a good practice to bump your own comment in less than 24 hours.

What search history?

Why did you change the green color of the SSL padlock to white?

Like I said before, to avoid people thinking that a different, more flashy color means a safer site. That's why browsers are changing to a more neutral color.

@leocg as you can see:
(in another version of Opera I have much more). Yes, I use workspaces, but they are not enough for me. I really miss the scrolling as it is in Firefox, because as I wrote in another thread, e.g. if I have a duplicate, I can barely see it.

When I browsing or look for something and then close tabs, I quickly find one or the other tab again.
This is an easiest method than using the history panel (for me).

@leocg Why there was no such question 5 or 10 years ago (when the feature was implemented)? I think people who created this feature should know the answer.
After being by one of the main distinctive features (comparing to other browsers) during these years , it's now 'logical' to ask 'why'... Because there were recently closed tabs 10 years ago and there are recently closed now.

Why did you remove Instant Search? It's one of the main reasons I use Opera instead of Chrome or Vivaldi. It's been a few hours since I updated Opera and I'm missing it a lot! There's any possibility of this feature coming back?

I completely agree with you! I don’t understand why Opera is intent on dropping Instant Search.

@adam1709 And why that many tabs opened? So far no one seems to have been able to give me a good reason to (always) have a bunch of tabs opened.

For me:

1. Deleted Instant Search - no! Please. Back this options!
2. New highlighting on card duplicates and option to close take - very good.
3. Search in tabs - I got used to the card menu. Maybe it would give users the option to choose between the tab menu and "search in tabs"?

@alexs And you do that often enough to justify having the list of closed tabs that close?

If he/she took the time to post about it here, it is quite obvious that he/she thinks that list is important ... can we be nice?

When people express their opinion about Instant Search being removed and the Tabs Menu being removed and how much they miss it, it is something that is significant to them. Otherwise, they would not bother posting here.

Pressing people as though such removals of features should not be important to them at all is counter-friendly and hardly helps Opera's image here in Opera Forums.

That's my 2 cents ... carry on!

@andrew84 I'm asking now because just now I became curious about why people need to keep reopening tabs closed a "long time ago". And, as it seems, so often to justify having a menu with the list of closed tabs at one click of distance.

@andrew84 Most probably there were people asking for such feature back on the time when it was implemented. And also most probably very few people were (still) using it to justify keeping the feature.

@leocg useful [ yoos-fuhl ] adjective

• being of use or service; serving some purpose; advantageous, helpful, or of good effect.

Users will feel that browser functions have various degrees of usefulness.

For me, on a scale of one to ten: Having tabs is a 10, video pop-out a 0 and easy access to recently closed tabs a 6.2.

When you wonder “why” next time, try applying Occam's razor principle:

The user probably finds that thing useful.
