@leocg Yeah, I am very familiar with the closed source mindset. The fear of allowing people to see the good and the bad could make the "shareholders" nervous.
Thank you once again for taking the time to write about this. Unfortunately, we will have to rely of the benevolence of the devs and Opera to be a little more forthcoming and open about these changes. Perhaps they will even provide clear justifications to the people that actually use their software, why and how these changes come to be.

@chewy Opera was never exactly known for its talks to their users. Maybe on the very beginning, when the Internet wasn't so popular and the community of users were much more smaller and more willing to have a serious discussion.
Nowadays, Opera has to be very careful to what they answer to not be misunderstood.

Is there any truth to the rumour that this feature is currently available in Opera Developer and will be returning? It'd be useful to know because I am at the point of uninstalling opera and trying vivaldi

@sgunhouse which build? Can't find any notes in latest stable or latest devs. Or I miss something?

@sgunhouse oh this, it's not what we want to bring back, search in closed completely removes the synced tabs from other devices, closed tabs function earlier was more ergonomic than new search - so it's step back...

Changes are in the blog, including this one. If you want it back, post in the Feature request thread - posting here accomplishes nothing.
I did start a thread in the feature request to bring back the feature we're discussing here, and just like here, it accomplished nothing.

The flag is back, plus "Recently closed tabs" are shown in a dropdown if you click on the Search button.
Unfortunately it's not remotely close to the being a replacement. Removal of this feature has been a massive blow to my research workflow

Why don't we all duplicate our posts in this forum to the Opera blog where maybe the devs will see the depth of feeling on this so called improvement. Scroll down to the bottom of the page to add your comments.

Logged in here to see if the old trick with the flags worked. It doesn't, the browser autoupdated to 70 version and now I'm stuck without yet another Opera feature that was extremely useful.
But that's it. I'm moving on to Vivaldi and I'll make sure that every single one of my friends, to whom I recommended Opera, leave it as well.
I hope this will go down as the single most stupid design decision in Opera's history and it drives aways the hundreds of users like me, who still hung on for years.
People of this thread: this conversation is months old, which shows that Opera's developers really don't care about it, the old trick with the flags won't work anymore and you all should just choose a better browser. Vivaldi and Firefox seems to be great.
Remember to remove the browser from your devices and to delete your Opera account, that's the only way they'll take notice (spoiler, they wont and they don't care).
