      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.

                              It's not a sustainable solution.

                                @leocg Do you think these are "only complaints"? His answer seems to me very little empathetic.
                                In this case we do not make a complaint for pleasure, we are arguing something that is evident: the functionality is clearly affected.
                                It is not a matter of taste, or "only complaints", or wanting to annoy the developers because we feel like it, there are fundamentals and it is evident that trimming is impractical.
                                And aldo, you as a moderator seem to support that, instead of seeing that there are many of us who argue why the change seems bad to us.
                                Nothing personal, neither with you nor with the developers.
                                If you think we are all wrong, you should explain why you think that cut is better and how Opera improves.
                                You or someone should, out of respect for us, explain that to us.

                                    @roberto64 I don't have to explain anything to you, but let's go.
                                    The new feature allow you to search for your opened tabs, including its contents. For me it seems very useful if you have lots of tabs opened.
                                    Although it only shows the last 3 closed tabs, what I think would be enough, you can search for your closet tabs, what is better than look to a long list. If they add possibility to search for closed tabs content, it would be even better.

                                      How many open tabs at the same time do you have daily, in average?
                                      I have no more than 10, usually 3-4 tabs, often 1-2.

                                      InstantSearch allows doing that, all what was need is to add the 'content search' feature.
                                      Instead of breaking 3 features (InstantSearch, TabMenu, Tabs cycler popup)

                                        If I don't mistake, the new commenting system in the blog was implemented to improve the feedback between forum and blog, between users and Opera team.

                                          Basically the same here. I usually don't have that many tabs opened at the same time.

                                            @andrew84 Instant Search, as said, was removed for lack of use.
                                            Regarding tabs menu, there were attempts to make it less visible and, in consequence, less used. I guess it wasn't removed before probably for technical reasons.
