        @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.

                Well they should in this case. There are many complaints that warrant a response. Especially considering that this same thing was much demanded a few months ago...

                  @leocg This never happened: they want to remove something that many users have been demanding for months that they do not remove it

                    @roberto64 I've been using Opera and around here for more than twenty years and every time a new feature is added or removed/changed, there are lots of complaints. Sometimes more, sometimes less.

                      @leocg Ok, so let's not complain: nobody cares. That's what you mean? "There are always complaints" "the developers never answer" What is the use of my time in this forum?

                        If you click on the clock symbol on the sidebar (on the left hand side), it will open a history tab, with Recently Closed tabs on top. Clicking on any of them restores a tab. It's the same functionality as before, just a different location...

                          @vikont-0 Yes, I have seen it, thanks for your reply vikont. But before it was all together (closed tabs and tabs on other devices) in a single access much more convenient and practical to find tabs.
                          Now, they are not only separated, but also to see tabs on other devices opens them in a very impractical large window compared to the immediacy it had before accessing everything.
                          And on top of that, they replaced access to all of this with a search popup that adds nothing, and to top it off, it doesn't even take dark mode.
                          They are all negative details compared to the practicality of the previous access.
                          Those of us who have used Opera for a long time, largely love it for those practical details, such as the fact that you can go back to the beginning of a page by clicking on its tab ... it's as if they took that away from us. The improvement is not understood.
                          And on top of that is a change that was resisted many months ago, by many users: just look at the number of visits from these threads ...
                          It is incredible that they do not listen to many people, it is not something that a couple of users crave because they do not like a detail, it is something that makes the browser less practical ... and it seems that they do not care.
                          Thanks vikont, I still appreciate your message.

                              Thanks for that! But still, that is not that user-friendly.

                                @roberto64 It has happened before.

                                As I said, every feature removed or changed has users asking why it happened and to not remove it.

                                  @roberto64 This is mainly a forum for users to help each other. Although Opera employees read it and may reply eventually, we should not expect it to happen that often.

                                    @roberto64 I'm saying that if they are do things based only on complaints, they probably would do nothing.

                                      @donq No it doesn't, but this thread, unless I'm mistaken, is solely about the restoration of the "Recently Closed Tabs" icon, for which a solution was found above. I'm not familiar with the issue of lost shortcuts, but that may be addressed in a different thread. Hope you find it....

                                        That is not true and not relevant. In this case they've simply cut the functionality (#search-in-open-tabs) for the sake of cutting.

                                          @tapedi2471 Well, experience tells me that it's true and, most probably relevant.

                                          And they didn't remove it for nothing, they almost certainly had a good reason to change the feature. To something better in my opinion.

                                            @vikont-0 No, not the same functionality. Most important feature, see what tabs are opened on other machines, is missing.
