      Are there any new tricks how Opera can keep the connection to Cloudflare as standard DNS server (with Opera only)?
      I can do what I want, after a while it switches back to my old standard DNS server without DNS-over-HTTPS encoding.

        Suggestion.
        Please remove or make the highlighting for the address bar 'lighter' blue. Currently that solid light blue background looks almost the same as sidebar or toolbar, it should be 2 times lighter blue (or 2 times more opacity) and should differ from sidebar/toolbar backround.

        Also, the whole browser uses light blue color accents, but address bar items are still highlighted gray, it looks weird. Some light blue/opacity combinations should be used in my opinion, instead of gray.

            @johnd78 True, they look more like the ones in Chrome.

              @andrew84: yes, I can confirm this
              It takes around 4-5 seconds to render search results, plus couple of seconds until panel gets responsive
              same for closing search (click on X in search form)
              also, opening folders with larger number of bookmarks is delayed about 1 sec

                Workspaces suggestion.
                Indicator in address bar when sidebar is hidden (will be useful for users who don't use the sidebar and will use shortcuts to switch workspaces)

                Update:
                there could be a popup with workspaces choice also when clicking on that indicator.

                        How to revert DNA-84410?

                        Some questions to the developer - you know that millions of people are using opera. And - there I'm absulutely sure - there are a lot of Users wich loves and uses the functions.
                        Also I do understand that you want to devop your product further - but why do you have to remove such/any functionality/buttons?
                        Why dont you make it configurable?

                        Its great you have new Ideas - offer them and the user may use them. But dont force them removing good practice!

                            @andrew84 That works, but I would like to know: What is this "Search in open tabs"? I don't find anything about it in the help file.

                              @ralf-brinkmann It's kinda the replacement of Instant Search. It allows you to find an specific opened tab . Or should, at least.

                                @ralf-brinkmann I don't know. Maybe to search tabs among all currently opened tabs in all workspaces.
                                But for me it will be easier to manually reopen website that I need instead of searching it in opened tabs.

                                *As I mentioned earlier (https://forums.opera.com/post/200118), they could just redesign the TabMenu for better view of currently opened tabs, leave 'recently closed' section in place and add search for both 'opened' and 'recently closed' tabs.
                                But they added cycling tab menu (Ctrl+Tab) instead that I will never use. It's difficult to imagine how I will press Ctrl + Tab Tab Tab ... to activate some tab if I have 30 tabs opened for example, I want using my mouse.
                                And now they added one more popup for opened tabs that is similar to cycling popup actually.
                                Two useless features in my my opinion, both are less functional than TabMenu. I just want quickly view my opened/recently tab by doing one click, without any dimming effects and searches/pressing keyboard keys many times.

                                  @leocg What again was this "instant search", that I never used and never needed? And how should this and the new tab search work?

                                    @ralf-brinkmann Press the Instant Search icon in the sidebar -OR- press Alt-Spacebar to find out! 🙂 It's very nice!

                                      @treego I don't have (or better: use) a sidebar, I don't see any magnifying glass (like in andrew84's screenshot) and ALT-Spacebar opens the window context menu like usual (minimize, maximize, restore).

                                        @ralf-brinkmann the feature(Instant Search) is removed in 68 version, you can still find it in 67 Stable version(in 67 Beta too).

                                            A piece time ago you announced that some cross is fixed for the search fields on sidebar panels. But I noticed that the full Internal History page still has the old one.
                                            On Bookmarks page the cross is invisible.
                                            And suggestion, move the search field to the left, like in O58.
