the loud and proud enthusiast bark fest probably won't change the default presentation but may score a more transparent switch in settings
Well, time will show whether Opera will handle all these multiple negative feedbacks on their forum and in the blog as a 'voice' of community and will offer some solution or handles it like a 'bark fest'.
*Regarding the Vivaldi browser, I don't know how is the project going because I use Opera. If I'll switch to Vivaldi(or any other browser) in future, maybe I will be more aware.

@frelanser: You may right click in the tab area to reopen close tab. Right click to the right of the + to see the menu.

Replacing the recently closed tabs icon with the magnifier was a seriously bad idea. Lett comfortable, because that was simply reachable from the sidebar and the shortcut. Also the alt+space facility is gone, which is a second minus point

I've been a great fan of Opera but this update makes me think about switching to another browser. Two points:
- Instant search accessible from the sidebar was an extremely useful feature. I can't see any reason to give it up.
- Replacing quick access to recently closed/open tabs by search in open tabs only is a mistake. Quick access to recently closed is much more useful than going into history which people usually use to make more detailed and reaching further back searches.
Consider bringing those two features back.

Where is the feature where you could use search engines without opening a new tab? It was used to be the shortcut "Alt + Space", but that no longer works. I couldn't find a way to re-enable it.
Also, why are workspaces, duplicate tab highlighting and tab search claimed as new? I've been using them for a month now. -

@lukasz75: Disable this flag "opera://flags/#search-in-open-tabs"; the recently closed tabs icon will return.

@kened Thanks, I've done that already, but flags are for more advanced users and I'm critical about the general direction which the changes have taken.

@lukasz75: Me too. Quick access menu was very important for me. Now it's gone.

@justwanttosaythis: same thing. Alt+Space was useful, and the tab search was already there. Now alt+space no longer works, and tab search is presented to us as something new

@treego I undestarnd that it's something important for the person, I'm just trying to find out why. For me, having a list of recently close tabs - and not all closed tabs - may be useful but I don't see a reason for having it in a one click menu.
Couple of use cases where I've used this feature extensively:
- During work (software development) I often come to situation where you have bunch of tabs open on same problem and en up closing/reopening same page - having closed tabs accessible in 1 click is really nice there
- Online shopping - same as above, either when comparing products or just having same product open in multiple shops to (be it because of stock, shipping costs or whatever)
- Used it extensively while still in college - For going trough sources/literature
