          The flag that fixed the problem is not working anymore and that damned search in recent tabs button "resurrected itself" with the latest update. The developer behind this this change diserves to be fired And defenestrated!

            Just remember that this is a temporary solution.

            I hate it as much as everyone else, trust me, but from what I gather, it is what it is. I'm not aware of any channels that would allow us to let developers know what a stupid "feature" this is.

              Hi @ZD90, @basemodeldaytona, here it still works in recent Opera stable (69.0.3686.49). Maybe you can recheck if it's set to "Disabled", sometimes flags settings may be changed during the updates.

                Wait until you get to version 70.0.3728.8 and then you will see what I am talking about. I use Opera Beta and its already in version 70.0.3728.8. I had to switch to Opera GX (which is currently in version68.0.3618.191) and block the updater to save myself from this idiotic change.

                  Yes, after the last update of 69.x version the flag opera://flags/#search-in-open-tabs was activated again but you can still disable it.

                  I confirm this, to disable: opera://flags/#search-in-open-tabs is still possible. ๐Ÿ˜‰

                    Try it in Opera Beta v70.0.3728.8 and tell me if it works because it doesn't.

                          Bah! It's gone again in O70 and the blog has the nerve to claim "Better access to recently closed tabs"! A pathetic 3 if you search? How that "better" than a simple friendly button?

                            I think the Opera Devs doesn't care what the community wants.

                            I found the extension Undo Closed Tabs Button.
                            With right click on the icon you can fixed the extension on the tool bar.

                              @alexs opera://flags/#search-in-open-tabs is now gone, and the icon in the upper right of the toolbar is no longer available in O70. No matter that so many have lamented about this, they still removed it without a remedy to enable it like we had in O69. Sucks

                                  Although your extension works, it takes up more real estate on the extensions bar, if the enabled opera://flags/#search-in-closed-tabs would simply show more than 3 of the closed tabs, we'd be back where we were, with the little search icon replacing the old icon that we used to see recently closed tabs from O69 and before. Not sure why developers are being so obstinate in allowing a user to enable this former way to see closed tabs.

                                    @bbildman Not having many extensions, it's just an icon on the address bar. Good for me until Opera reverse their oafish decision. ๐Ÿ‘

                                      The problem is - old menu had list of synced tabs across devices and that was really handy! Now you cannot even add on bookmars bar opera://activity page, and more - you cannot find it from menu or other Opera UI... First you need to google it, second you have to type it every time you need it in adress bar. This is very strange and bad changes to the Opera UI.

                                      Hope this will be fixed or made some workarounds for this situation.

                                        It is remarkable how needlessly anti-consumer some company become and stubborn to remain.

                                            O70, and the tip with flags not working again.
                                            Opera devs had lost the spirit of the good old Opera. Now they are stubborn and ignore what the community needs at all.

                                            Please return to recently closed tabs icon !!!

                                            @roberto64, we should not ask them or beg them. We are the users. We'd rather uninstall this user UNfriendly browser made with hate by unfriendly devs.
