@SilentHugOfDoom Every software is (or should be at least) an innovative software.
If enough people were using it, then Opera surely could have been improving the feature. However, it's not the caae, so it's not worth keep developing it, I guess.

@SilentHugOfDoom I believe that there is only one user base: Those who use the internet.
There isn't such thing as an advanced user or an average user, there are simply users, that may have different needs.

@leocg Well I understand the need to only keep features that bring value, but I would really like to directly ask the software team to reconsider their decision for instant search because it's a feature that could bring users if it was promoted (because it's so f*king awesome!). So does the development team read the forums or is there a more direct way to contact them?

@misterdoge They read the forum. You can also contact Opera through their social networks if you want.

I was forced to move back to version 67... sad but true.

@leocg thanks. I will do it.
@diegosdf I guess that's my job now
Btw, how did you downgrade to 67? In case I want to do it myself.

@diegosdf Windows.

You can see al the versions here: http://get.opera.com/ftp/pub/opera/desktop/

Here is the direct link of latest version 67 for windows user: http://get.opera.com/ftp/pub/opera/desktop/67.0.3575.97/win/Opera_67.0.3575.97_Setup.exe

It is important to note that opera will try to update to version 68 by itself, don't let it happen. There are a bunch of tutorials explain how to do that for windows on youtube. For Mac users, All you have to do is not to click on about opera button.

Speed Dial folders stuck/flash when opening new empty tab.

When you open a saved URL from within a Speed Dial folder on the Start Page,
the browser “remembers” and briefly flashes that folder expanded upon opening a new empty tab.

WIN10-64 Opera 68.0.3618.56 Norwegian. HWA on.

@andrew84 Not many. At the moment there are five tabs opened.

What if Opera used a color to identify the active tab, as it did in the past and how is it done today by Vivaldi?! The current blue/gray is awful.

@diegosdf People at Opera already explained that they removed the feature due to the lack of users.

Lack of users. Hm. How do you explain then, that half of posts are talking about it and asking for it's return?

@kened: Don't bother asking. There's has being so much talk about colors but nobody seems to care. Like the withdrawal of "instant search". Take it or leave it.

@stolis First, Opera has some dozen of millions of users, so ten, twenty people don't seem to represent the majority of users.
Also, as usually always happen, the ones who didn't like the change are more active, making it look like they are a majority.
