        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. 👏

                    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.

                          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.

                            The new popup is terrible designed. And there is no way to turn back the old one with Opera 70.

                            The unnecessary large size, the inconvenient placement (far away from the button), only 3 rows of the last open tabs, the search bar and open tabs take a lot of space and it absolutely useless for people who do not open a lot of tabs. And it's modal popup, it's breaks the flow of the work with the sites.

                            Stop do changes for the changes.

                            Bring back the old menu. I absolulty don't like this modal popup.

                              How many opinion needed for fix design mistake?!
                              Opera Developers team never changes...

                              Maybe does you think people haven't variants for choosing browser?

                                Modal windows is an arguable UI approach and may be used in a situations when you need the user to stop and think before doing next step. Definitely not this situation! And you're right, it's far away from the button so it's not only logical and visual connection broken, it consumes more time since the user needs to move the cursor and target it.

                                      @leocg Is this all they have to say? The theme of this thread is very clear:

                                      You should consider the claim of many users and give a positive response:
                                      Please: Bring back the "Recently closed" button on the top bar on the right!!

                                      There are many more users who claim it, but they do not take the trouble to write it in the forums, but many of us do not like this change!

                                      Please answer that !!

                                        @roberto64 They who? If you are talking about Opera, they usually don't comment on requests and/or suggestions.

                                          @jolang I understand your comment, but it would be a great disappointment for me to do that, more than 15 years ago I used Opera as the default browser ... and this never happened.
                                          So I ask that it be repaired, and many users do so.
