      @maheshparli It restores (full) recently closed tabs. Tabs menu is gone.

          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).

                Mind you, the question was about Developer - I haven't checked in Stable yet. I'm on my mobile currently and can't look it up, but I just searched for "tabs" and it was among the half dozen matches.

                  @operast The flag is available in Opera beta 71 an din Opera developer 72. Opera stable doesn't have it.

                          Thank You !

                          Edit : I noticed I have to click "show more" every time (eyeroll). It's like these developers don't want to make anything user friendly.

                            People! Downgrade to Opera 69, close opera immediately after launch (you have to be fast!), find opera_autoupdate.exe and rename it, launch opera, type opera://flags/#search-in-open-tabs, disable it. That's it, you have the function back, fully with cross platform browsing.

                              @azrael78 I'd love to do this, but I can't seem to find an official installation of Opera 69. Is there such a place to download?

                                There's a link somewhere in this thread I think for that. I just can't seem to find it.

                                      Opera has made 2 changes recently that have annoyed me to no end. This is one of them.

                                      I came to Opera because once upon a time this browser was known for giving users control over their browsing experience. I guess nothing lasts forever.
