@leocg said in Where is the "Recently closed tabs/Tab menu" button on the top right?:
@kkthxbye Type opera://activity in address bar or try the sidebar icon if it shows up.
"If it shows up". What exactly determines if it shows up? I have two installations, both Windows 10 64 bit, both version 68.0.3618.63, with the following result:
I am trying to get accustomed to the loss of this "Tab menu", but this is frustrating. Further, only one machine shows the tabs from the other machine on the "opera://activity" page, but if I set the flag that removes the new "Search in tabs" button, the original "Tab menu" DOES show other machine's tabs.
What is going on? Are these just bugs, or intended functionality? If the latter, please explain.
Update: The machine that did have the Tabs sidebar item has now lost it after a restart (no update to Opera though).

Also missing that feature alot. Needing to first go to the meny, and then scroll down to fin "history" is really akward in comparison to how nice & easy it used to be. -

I just extra created an acoount just to reply here to say that the removal of the "recently closed tabs" button is the worst decision in whole opera history. This button was THE reason why I have always used Opera instead of Firefox or Chrome and I use Opera for more than 10 years. And now you removed it....
The new menu-->history way is very bad: way more clicks and much longer way for the mouse pointer and therefore uncomfortable and time wasting.
Adding the new search option is not wrong overall (although I don't need it) but why replacing another more useful thing with that? Do the Opera developers really think that average Opera user is such an dumb person that one button leads to overstraing while using Opera? The absolute minimum would be giving the user an option to decide which buttons he/she wants to have.Thanks for the guys giving the solution with changing the flag but I am very afraid that the flag will be removedn a future version because of "cleaning up the code"... It will be the point where I have to choose a new browser.

@chrisohm I agree with you. For me this feature was also, as small as it might seem, the biggest reason to stay with Opera. Once it will be completely removed, there will be far less holding me back to change to another browser if it ever tempts me.

@sgunhouse thanks for let me know, Last update are making the experience worst! Opera is going down seriously. You are removing good features like the classic pop up video. I'm seriously downloading an older version or thinking to move out to Edge.

@burnout426 I just did it and it worked. The button is there again at the top bar.
I used it to syc with the tabs on my other devices so it is good to have it back.
Thanks for your help. -
xaobotnik last edited by xaobotnikSo I changed it back to the 'recently closed tabs' option by disabling the search in tabs option in: opera://flags/#search-in-open-tabs
But I can find use for the 'search in tabs'. Would be nice if I could have them both. Maybe something that could be implemented with the sidebar. There is a tabs function there (with an icon that doesn't make sense to me), why is there no search option there?

Goto the URL
opera://flags/#search-in-open-tabs, disable the flag, and restart Opera.Literally registered to forums just to thank you.
This change has been frustrating me ever since it was added. I never keep too many tabs around to make search feature useful in any way, but the option to easily restore a tab other than the last one - was one of my favorite opera features. -

I just noticed that in the latest version of the browser they have removed the button for recently closed tabs and replaced it with an useless search button for active tabs. Is there any possibility to get back that useful feature? And no, I am not gonna browse the History for the tabs I just closed, it's dumb. Can I roll back to a previous version of the browser or just hope it gets added again?

Hi all, I have always appreciated the tab menu which appears on the right side of the tab bar (as shown down below in the picture) and i can reopen closed tabs quickly through it. However after I updated my opera to the latest version, the tab menu button was replaced by [Search in Tabs]. Can anyone tell me is there something I can do to bring the tab menu back? Or is it just set by Opera team??? Thank you!
