@raphaelfrf @p11rat Switch to the Vivaldi browser because they don't remove features like that. That's the only way out Opera devs are giving us to have the features we want.

@rafaelluik Screw Vivaldi. I have been using opera for I don't know how long, may be over 10 years, and I don't want to switch to no vivaldis.
The closed tabs button has not been removed, but simple turned off in the Settings.
There is a parameter in Settings that allows to turn it back on. Look up the way to do it in this tread. -

Yes, there is. That's how I got the button back.
Goto the URL opera://flags/#search-in-open-tabs, disable the flag, and restart Opera.
Are you a Midvale school for gifted graduate? -

Goto the URL opera://flags/#search-in-open-tabs, disable the flag, and restart Opera.This flag will be removed in Opera 70, good luck with that.

The hidden setting DOES brings back, but the fact the setting is hidden means I can't rely on having this feature for long. I want it surfaced as a permanent option in the main settings section. I also can't recommend the browser to others because they won't be able to enable this feature, which I consider a primary differentiator and good reason to select opera.

@Rogerb Don't believe him. He's just trying to drum up some converts to Vivaldi. How in the [no bad wording] can he know what's in the version 70?

@rafaelluik Yeah, right. With you future prediction abilities why don't you play on the stock market?

@superduper Flags are not settings. And, as already said, that flag was already removed.

Yeah, right, let's start splitting hairs what are settings and what are flags.
In version 70, the #search-in-open-tabs is removed. Opened.
However, this one:- DNA-86625 Enable #search-in-closed-tabs on developer stream. Closed
will be enabled.
Savvy?
- DNA-86625 Enable #search-in-closed-tabs on developer stream. Closed

@superduper The removed flag was the one that allowed you to bring back the tabs menu.

@superduper Yes, settings are flags are different things but it will not be discussed here.

People, it makes absolutely no difference whether or not flags are settings.
The point is that the situation is as follows: for some reasons that are beyond me opera has decided to remove the feature from it. As I understand, some features are retained after their removal through a flag. That is Temporary. Next version removes the flag completely, as the code for the feature most probably.
Now, if anyone would like it, they could try and stop opera from updating and keep this feature at the obvious cost of not receiving updates to other features and the core app. It's up to you. Personally, I have done so and I'll see what alternative might come up in the future.I do appreciate, however, that so many of you responded to this thread. This means that this feature will be missed dearly by so many.

@ericartman92 I personally think that the #search-in-closed-tabs flag will keep the button. But I might be wrong. The button is one of the unique to Opera things that I keep on using it. If they remove the button, there will be still a couple of features left that are unique to Opera, so, most likely, I will not be looking for another browser, but I, probably, Will check out Vivaldi and I Will be most disappointed.
The question is, how can we let the Opera development team know not to fix things that are not broke, nay, how not to break perfectly working things?
