Opera 70 comes with easier access to closed tabs, simpler searches, and new Workspace icons

Since this newest update to O70, clicking on torrent magnet files forces a new popup that verifies you want my torrent pgm to open. This never happened before O70. No way to stop this from happening even though it asks if you do not want to popup in the future. Please fix this.

There's a bug in the Print Module. Print Preview (left) does not show the page number on each page as one scrolls.

@bbildman You might have to remove the torrent entry from the Preferences file, try a link again and then tell it not to bug you. Then it might stick. Testing in a new standalone installation would tell you if that'd work or not.

This evening, Opera began identifying the PNC bank site as possible fraud when I try to log in. Refers to APWG.org . Can log in just fine with other browsers.

@chawoobie: I found that if I uncheck Protect me from Malicious Sites, I can access PNC just fine. Is this a bug or a new ""feature?" Never had this problem before this update to Opera 70.

@chawoobie Nome of them. The feature is kinda old and it's not a bug, the site was just included in one of the thir party databases used by Opera for the malicious sites protection feature.

@leocg: Thanks! Hope they correct/update the database.

@chawoobie You can try contacting APWG to inform them that the site was wrongly added.

@leocg: Can I leave it unchecked, or should I recheck it and just use another browser for PNC for now?

@chawoobie It's up to you. If you feel that you don't need the feature, just leave it disabled.

By the way, you don't get an option to ignore the warning?

@wagnerfilho89: @wagnerfilho89: I decided to restore version 69 and wait for the recent tabs feature, if they do bring it back at all.

Workaround: follow the instructions in this Opera Forums thread, the procedure is the same. https://forums.opera.com/topic/31873/solved-how-to-revert-to-opera-58/4

Make sure you have blocked auto-updater (Opera_AutoUpdate.exe) before you relaunch. Blocking instructions here: https://www.askvg.com/tip-how-to-disable-or-block-auto-update-feature-in-opera-web-browser/

When you relaunch Opera, check the version number. You should see version 69. Auto-update will attempt to connect to the Internet, but since you have blocked it, it won't be able to check for updates. You will instead see "An error occurred while checking for updates." Just ignore it.

Lastly, you want to disable the Search in Open Tabs experimental feature. Doing so will bring back the familiar Recently Closed dropdown list. Here's how:
- Type this in the address bar: opera://flags/#search-in-open-tabs
- Select Disabled
- Restart Opera browser.

Hope this helps.

@leocg: Yes. But when I click the button, nothing happens. Will notify APWG.

Maybe they removed the flag just for fun?
After reading all the negative comments regarding the 'Search in tabs' feature and that many users restored the original TabMenu they laughed (evil laugh) and removed the flag with the words: ' You think you clever enough to disable the flag and restore the TabMenu? Now try doing the same in 70 version, genius! '

@andrew84 Flags are made to be removed at some point, they are experiments as the page clearly says. When they stop testing the new feature, the flags is enabled on stable and removed, sooner or later.
Search in tabs allows you to see your recently closed tabs and, even better, search for them.

@leocg only the last 3 closed tabs. And it's impossible to distinguish closed tabs and closed windows.

@minho In Opera developer you can see more. And if you use the search, you can find other closed tabs.
Maybe some flags needs to be enabled.

@leocg I don't want to search for anything. Not always I remember the title of the tab,
in many cases I identify the tab that I wish to reopen by its favicon.

This tread is not about Opera Developer is it? We give feedback on the latest Stable version.

Yes, these are keywords.
Why sooner, but not later (when the feature will restore TabMenu functionality) like the many other flags that are not removed yet from Stable?
I'm pretty sure you're already tired reading and answering on a bunch of the same questions (where's TabMenu button, where's the flag, why only 3 closed tabs, how to revert back, how to block updates ). But if they like when users are stressed after each release and 'boiling' here in the blog/on forum, then probably the decision to remove the flag was correct
