where is the recent open tabs button? The same button that shows the tabs sync with other devices

@giacomorutili You have to disable the new search button for that : opera://flags/#enhanced-address-bar
Apparently opera really likes to remove useful features these days...

@andrew84 : Yep - I get that. I also suspect Opera has usage telemetry from millions of users that supported the decision. Moving/retiring functionality is never an easy choice; some portion of the population always feels burned.

@davey126: That's your personal opinion and i respect it. But the hole point is to improve
functionality, right? In this case there's a lot of people feeling frustrated with the absence of previous feature. Otherwise we wouldn't see that many posts about it.
So i believe they should reconsider their decision in this case and give users the opportunity to disable stuff they don't like. Don't you think?

@stolis : reread previous posts; no advocacy for turning a blind eye. That said, there is a bigger picture that ultimately drives difficult design choices. Moving on, not going to resolve anything by rehashing.

I really loved this update at first, especially because of the new workspaces, but what I am really missing now is the recent open tabs dropdown button, which was replaced by the magnifying glass. This button was, at least for me personally, always the biggest argument for Opera, so I would really appreciate it if I had the option to enable this button again.

@slytzel : read up a few posts; there's a flag that will revert to previous UI (as least with respect to the feature you:re asking about)

@davey126: The problem is their thinking removing the flag,

@davey126 I also suggested to restyle the new popup (when the 'new' feature was yet in Developer version) and keep the both functionalities 'recently closed' and 'open tab' where each user could decide what he needs more, with an ability to perform search for both types of tabs. As a compromise, to avoid
https://forums.opera.com/post/208399 (I don't mean it should look exactly like this, I mean the idea of keeping both).

How to return the button of closed tabs?
I totally don't need tab search. And open the closed tabs the desired function, return it please. It’s just for the sake of her that I work on opera and not on other browsers.

Allow microphone
To record Voice Messages, click “Allow” above to give WhatsApp access to your computer's microphone. Arrow points into black screen with no buttons active. Anyone knows how to turn it on please?

@andrew84 : Yep, everyone has their own idea. One assumes the Opera design team is taking notes and will determine what changes, if any, are needed. The bigger elephant in the room are the untold scores of silent user actions revealed through telemetry. If that returns favorable results then the loud and proud enthusiast bark fest probably won't change the default presentation but may score a more transparent switch in settings.

BTW - how's that Vivaldi project going, ya know the one that has a switch for everything? Might be an option for those dissatisfied with the current state of affairs.

Get back the tab menu by default, it was a mistake, and the instant search too its really useful with the full screen mode.

English is not my mother tongue; please excuse any errors on my part..
