Where is the "Recently closed tabs/Tab menu" button on the top right?

I also came here to see if it was really gone as that is one feature I really liked in Opera.
Perhaps they could have it as an option to add it back in, beside the search.
Or, they could have the search open tabs and recently closed tabs within that search icon. (Before it had recently closed and below it, open tabs)

I basically never have to search what tabs I've got open but I do often want to reopen a tab I recently closed, sometimes because I closed it by accident and being able to quickly get it back is very much appreciated.

@leocg Which is idiotic. The feature was sound, it was one of the things that set opera apart from the competition and now it's replaced by something that is of no real value. It's use cases are questionable.

Thanks you, opera developers! Ruined the browser. Continue down this path and you'll lose what's left of your fanbase.

I also missed this feature the first time I wanted to reopen a closed tab... shit, where did that button go? Then I came here to find it, and yes, that flag works for now, but this really something they shouldn't have removed... it was one of the most useful features. It was just there, a click away, not hidden away in the menu... there is space for two buttons there Opera, just sayin'...

It works but now as an experimental feature!!!
opera: // flags / # search-in-open-tabs
Just follow the link and set the parameter to Disabled, then Relaunch.
Will return as before the update!

@Valknut68 Flags are created for developers to enable/disable a feature during its development/testing period. Once the feature is enabled by default in the stable channel for a while, it is removed.

@leocg what are other options now, I really hate it when i accidentally close a window and then have to open all the tabs that were closed after closing the window just because the feature was removed

I recently updated Opera Browser on windows 10 to 68.0.3618.56 and I am not able to find the button of last closed tabs, though I found key to re-one last closed tab. Is this button removed ?

@drjpt1712 No option that's as easy as it was. Now you're expected to go into History and look for that closed tab. Absolutely inconvenient.

@maheshdm Yep, they removed the button. You can temporarily turn it back with a flag, but this is a feature that opera's management has slated for removal.
Looks like someone in management isn't quite....erm....the sharpest tool in the shed when it comes to identifying and evaluating distinctive features that set opera apart from the competition.

Thank you @ericartman92 , appreciate your help. Opera should think before such useful and distinctive features.

Now it is as a function for testing. And it has a flag, ok
But you have already forgotten that it was a standard option in Opera before update 68.0.3618.46 !!!
And all the moderators insisted on repeating over and over again, "has been moved to history"!
And how many times do people repeat their statements?!?
Because of this, the "cards open on another device" have also disappeared!
And the button "history" is now placed very impractically, because far away, in the sidebar.

As I wrote several times, the button works after entering the flags.
But no one understands the reason for its removal.

Goto the URL opera://flags/#search-in-open-tabs, disable the flag, and restart Opera.

Thanks for that, it's not obvious at all that disabling the "search in open tabs" brings back the "open closed tabs" Button...

As if they do it on purpose to piss of their few loyal remaining users..
