What have you done to this update? My CPU is going through the roof!!!
Any recommendations of settings changes to make please?
Yes, I have a lot of tabs open, and this browser used to handle it. -

@carrotman1: High CPU usage might be caused by your CPU rendering all visual stuff instead of your GPU.
Look at the setting "hardware acceleration" or something like that an enable it.
If it already is enabled, I have no other idea. -

@vitormanuel: Where I can find the flags "Enable the use of SurfaceLayer objects for videos" in the new Opera:
If you comeback to the good version 66.0.3515.95, you have to go to to opera://flags and search for these two:
-
Use surface layers in Video Pop-out
-
Enable the use of SurfaceLayer objects for videos.
Disable it, and the old popout player will be back, including resize.

Can you stop adding such useless feature and break user experience?
There still a lot of UI element's click effect are using material design style, such as the popup shown after click the lock icon on address bar, and menu was incredible small for touch screen user.
And UI design of Privacy protect popup (address bar) and extension manage(top right) are complete different design, is there still any designer working on this product? How can you show such ugly popup after click on address bar??

Please give me back the "Recently closed tabs" button.
That was the biggest complain with the last update. -

Had to disable the new tab search to get back the "recently closed tab" feature .
A pity as I'm pretty sure there was a way to integrate both the search and the closed tab in the new version... -

Forget Opera, just switch to Vivaldi where the devs would never remove features from users, and put your support where it's appreciated and not used to enrich its CEO through obscure cash draws and stock market guys while exploiting poor developing countries folk. Vivaldi has a big recently closed tabs list in the same place Opera used to have and as a bonus it already lets you add any webpage you want to the sidebar, without having to be stuck with the sanctioned choices made by Opera guys (or Facebook/Telegram sponsored??).
Opera (no idea why) is more interested in change for the sake of change (perhaps desperate to attract new users? throwing all kinds of changes around to see what is a hit or a miss?) and removing features because they aren't used "99,9% of the time" and they don't want to realize that this 0,1% usage is that one time in the week when you really needed the feature and it was there. And no, searching the closed tab via its title text isn't the solution, no way you can expect the user to remember word by word of the closed tab (and that's when it has a proper title at all).

@rafaelluik: Plus they have the "instagram" in sidebar or any webpage in sidebar for that manner. Opera is playing catch up to them and from this blog they are pretending to be innovating or being pionners when they clearly are not.
