After 68 was promoted to Stable there's new 68 Beta update.

I really don't understand why the Instant Search was not modified by removing its 'web' part if you say this is not popular feature, why the TabMenu suffered as well. Instead of 'web' there could 'Recently closed' tabs (Alt+Space).

*Or as a full compromise add a 3rd tab (<Web> <Open Tabs> <Recently closed>)

@avl:
Lets get down to facts&numbers.
New way:

1. focus on O-button then click on it;
2. focus on History submenu then go through it;
3. focus on needed closed tab (if it inside last 10) than click on it.
   Total: 3 points of focus & action.

Old way:

1. focus on tab-menu button then click on it;
2. focus on needed closed tab than click on it.
   Total: 2 points of focus & action.

The new method requires one and a half times more attention and actions (+50%) on such a simple and frequent task as opening a closed tab. And limit of 10 tabs...
Very annoying innovation, personaly I already switched to old-style tab-button.

Would be much more interesting if Opera implement Vivaldi-like history analitics: https://vivaldi.com/ru/blog/vivaldi-makes-history/

@saam You are not using a private window by chance, right?

Your history is totally empty? If you go to a site, do you see it listed in history just after that? Or it doesn't even show up there?

@saam Download and install [Opera Portable](https://www.opera.com/computer/portable] and test it for a while to see if the problem also happens.

@leocg: I use google translate so sometimes it can be weirdly translated (from Polish). I mean, with a lot of cards open in Firafox, they don't squeeze, you can scroll (roll). Understand ?

@georgekon it got faster indeed. I thought it was only because I overrode gpu blacklist. Anyway, I prefer a heavier browser with Instant Search, if I'm being honest.

@sssslim: TYVM!
I was wondering with was going on when the feature suddenly disappeared after the latest update and was wondering whether it was bugged or replaced with the Tab Search feature. I was looking in the settings for the option to turn it on/off, but didn't find any so I ended here. xD

I'll be rly effed if they completely scratch that that recently closed/Tab menu.
It's a really useful feature. :3

Please give us an option in Opera settings to re-enable the "Recently closed tabs/windows" button, so we can use this feature quicky. Its flag will be removed in the future.
Search in tabs is completely useless for me, "Recently closed tabs/windows"
is a usefull feature that I use often.

For some reason, the new instagram feature on opera 68 doesnt have the direct message feature. Do i need to do something to activate it or that's just how it is?

@kiptrob I'm on Opera developer 69 and sidebar Instagram has access to direct messages. The icon is on the top right.
