      What we all feared happened: the "closed tabs" button disappeared again, this time with no way to get it back. I do not understand, why the devs do want to upset their customers this bad. I know you can acess these features in another way. But I do not want to enable the sidebar all the time that takes up space on my screen, and especially without that bar, there is no replacement that is as easy and quickly to use as this button. Why won't you give us the option to enable it? Do you want to make us use the browser the way that YOU feel like is best? That is not what Opera is or should be about.
      In short, if you really care for your customers opinion: give us that button back!

        Well, my browser just updated to version 70 today. The recently closed tabs button is gone. I'm already missing it. Please reinstate it or at least give us the option to enable it. We can't all be wrong!

                Can you, or anyone who forces such revolutionary features like this another meaningless release, give us an example of when "Search in Tabs" could be used? Should I have some form of psychiatric disorder to use this button the way it's described?

                "Recently closed", please.

                  @paweljuchnik: Christ. I thought it has been already discontinued. So is this you who always asks for similar buttons that no one else uses in this browser?

                      Btw, could more attention be payed to non-English threads like the following, please.
                      https://forums.opera.com/topic/40007/куда-делась-кнопка-недавно-закрытые-вкладки-вместо-нее-какой-то-ненужный-поиск-по-вкладкам/69
                      In general, could more attention be payed to, say, national communities where Opera represents larger market shares (historically or due to current need of VPN)?

                        I went back to the previous version of Opera (69...) and disabled auto-update and probably will never turn it back on again. ThAnK yOu To ThE dEvElOpErS for disabling the closed tabs menu. thumb_up

                          @greyreth What do you mean? Search in tabs can be used to, as the name says, search for a specific tab. It can be very helpful when you have lots of tabs opened, like that many users that used to post here complaining that it was very difficult to find a tab in Opera when there are too many tabs opened.

                                If they removed the flag, it's very possible that the code is also removed (or will be removed soon).

                                      I want the closed tabs button back. This stupid magnifying glass icon in its place only gives me 3 recently closed tabs (how dumb is that).

                                      I did not ask for a list of open tabs (I can see my tabs continuously) and the polite thing to have done would have been to only make a list of open tabs an option, without taking away the closed tabs button). Seriously why disrupt what works and what people are used to? Are you trying to drive people away from Opera?

                                        I repeat again: it sounds like a kind of illness "I've opened so many tabs, I don't remember how many and why, now I gonna search through them with key words". What?
                                        I cannot search for closed tabs. I work with databases, they contain dozens of pages similar from the point of view of the search function, having similar headings, containing the same keywords, no one will have a desire to sort the search results. I use torrent trackers and use filters to get a list of the maybe-pages-I-need, some of them then appear to be not the ones, I close them, then, having checked the rest, I still want to get to those pages I had initially rejected. These are the cases. What you have for "search in tabs" is not a normal case for a normal person to behave.

                                          Well, with the removal of the closed tabs button i'm only one step away to switching to other browser and literally the only 2 things that really hold me back are the best bookmarks system and the "click-on-tab-to-scroll-to-the-top" feature at this point.

                                          It's cool when you try and experiment with features, just like that scrolling feature i just mentioned
                                          But it's not cool when you do that in spite of the users backlash and never turn back
                                          it's not like people didn't complain about closed tabs feature being locked behind opera:flags
