        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:

            1. Instant search accessible from the sidebar was an extremely useful feature. I can't see any reason to give it up.
            2. 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.

                        @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 🤷‍♂️

                                    @leocg said in Opera 68 is here with built-in Instagram in the sidebar:

                                    @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

                                      @regnareb Not on Windows, and all shortcuts are remappable anyway.

                                        @misterdoge It is especially on windows. It has been there since at least Windows 98 I think, and it's a major one.
                                        Would you override Alt+Tab? That would be pretty stupid

                                          @regnareb Ok and what is it supposed to do? Can you explain why it does nothing on My windows 10 computer?

                                            @misterdoge It opens the shortcut menu for the current window, same as right click on the top menu bar. Maybe you have autohotkey or a program bypassing it, or maybe the current window is bypassing it.
                                            Some prebuilt computers have also a bug that prevent that shortcut from working.

                                            I checked, that shortcut works since Windows 3.1, so it's been ~28 years.
