          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..

            @Nakanaki07 As they mentioned above, go to the URL opera://flags/#search-in-open-tabs, disable the flag, and restart Opera.
            The old Closed Tabs icon will reapear.

              It has been replaced by "Search in tabs", which is totally useless, as it is accessible from the Sidebar.

              Workaround
              "Undo closed tabs button" extension

              Will the tab menu be restored some day?

                Hi,

                In your last update, i don't see where it is for open a tab from an other device ? On computer, it was on the right top corner, but you replaced the button by àmagnifying glass button.

                Thanks

                        Hi!

                        Did Opera remove recently closed/open tabs arrow? I used it frequently, and now it's not there. 😞

                          @supermanu35 You can create a speed dial on the start page to example.com for example. Then, you can edit it to change its URL to opera://activity and its name to "Opera Activity" if you want.

                            This is just silly, to add a mouse shortcut to a keyboard only feature. You really have to use keyboard to use this search feature.

                            Doubly silly when you remove a usefull, mouse only feature to do it.

                              Moderators, please stop repeating that the feature has been moved to menu.

                              The one in the menu is a different feature. Just 1/3 of the removed one.
                              Tabs menu had 3 sections:

                              • Recently closed
                              • Other devices
                              • Open tabs

                              The menu has only one: Recently closed.

                                @smokku Like you said, in Menu > History you can find recently closed tabs, so, like you it or not, when someone asks for where to find recently closed tabs, I will point to menu > history.

                                And when people ask for tabs opened in other devices, I will point to sidebar or tell the person to use opera://activity.

                                  @leocg and what about recently closed windows?

                                  I hope someone in there realises that especially when you have a relatively small (compared to others) user base, that consists of people using the software for a feature you provide.
                                  What will happen if they go and remove that one feature?

                                  I believe that as official forum moderators, you can forward our remarks to the right people and hopefully someone will listen.

                                  Thank you for all your work.

                                    Instead promoting Opera's unfortunate decisions please tell users about current solution to restore old button:

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

                                      @x-factor They should be in menu > History also.

                                        @donq Due to the nature of flags, I usually don't point to them as a solution.

                                          Maybe you should, esp when you see that this is popular topic? At least hint as temporary solution?
                                          I have no idea, how much feedback Opera collects [about flags usage], but I would like to think that if they notice many customers users changing some flag, then they may reestimate usefulness of that feature ...

                                            Hello,

                                            Yesterday I updated Opera to version 68.0.3618.56 for Windows 10 Pro x64 and the recently closed tabs icon that was in the top right corner has disappeared.
                                            Has it maybe been relocated to somewhere I cannot find or has it been removed completely, please?

                                            Thank you
