@leocg No one wants search in opened tabs, we want to reopen the tabs we closed (either accidentally or on purpose).

@superduper To be honest, I probably won't use that feature, but two things:
- I have the option in case I need it (take a hint opera)
- I am more concerned a bit with the fact that the speeddial there is considered a closed tab. (off-topic, sorry)

@ericartman92 I have hundreds of bookmarks and tens of speedial items. Bookmarks in opera are inconvenient to access. To have all the bookmarks on a speedial makes them much more convenient to use. Besides, it allows to categorize them in folders.
Vivaldi also has a Note feature, which Opera did away with sometime in Opera 12-15. It's where you select a text in a web page and copy it to notes.
The history is also much more extensive and more convenient to use.
And, of course, the closed tabs button is there. And the list is much longer than in Opera when they had it.
The only thing which it does not have it's a bookmark bar. But with the many speed-dials feature it's not that critical, although a bit less convenient.Personally, I am switching to Vivaldi. For the time being I will be testing it, to see that it does not have some unacceptable flaws, and if it doesn't, it's farewell Opera.

This is a case study on how products and companies die. It's happening in real time, before our eyes.
Those people who are the product's champions, those motivated to communicate and post in forums most users wouldn't bother even discovering exist, are the ones who influence a product's outcome.
Please, company developers, by all means, remove well-liked features and watch your champions openly discuss using your competition out of frustration. That's a great strategy. It worked for Blackberry.

@superduper I was wrong about Vivaldi not having a bookmark bar. It does, it's just a bit tricky to put it on. I imported it from Opera and then opted to have it displayed. Voila! A bookmark bar in Vivaldi.

skoy21 last edited byThat is unbelievable! The change from 12 to the new Opera was terrible, but started adding features back and slowly slowly became ok again, and now they strike back... As if you see what your users want and you do the opposite, just to get us!
A suggestion to Opera developers: Limit the opened tabs to 3! We don't need more. Oh, and limit the amount of history to 3 as well, remove the speed dial or limit the speed dial entries to 3. See? Great improvements, don't you think? You just made Opera worse... Again...

@skoy21 Look, people. Why get all worked up about it? Vivaldi has all the features and then some more. Moreover, it seems to work faster too. Opera seems to have become sluggish lately. I am switching to Vivaldi and will save myself some nerves.

@superduper while I switched to Vivaldi, I cannot say that I am completely happy with it and it's understandable that people want the functionality back, and not switching to other browser. I, for one, would love to see the feature return instead of switching, because the design is different, some other functions are different etc.

@ericartman92 It's just like a favorite pair of old shoes. You get so comfortable with them, that even when they are falling apart you don't want to get a new pair. But finally you cannot use them any longer and are forced to switch to new ones. At first they are indeed not as comfortable as the old pair. But, provided the new pair are quality shoes, you get used to them pretty fast and like them as much as the old pair.
Granted, Vivaldi has somewhat different layout, but as far as I can see it has the same functionality as Opera plus some more. And accessing this functionality is not much different that in Opera. But, of course, everyone has his/her own likes and dislikes, and what is alright for some is not alright for others and vice versa. -

@ericartman92 Exactly! I don't want to switch to Vivaldi or any Vivaldi. Especially after I "endured" that long ordeal of the change from Presto to Chromium until Opera became functional and unique again. I just don't want favorite and extremely helpful features gone.

@skoy21 That's exactly what I was saying to suggestions to switch to Vivaldi. Scroll this topic up, you will see my reaction. Unfortunately, Opera has left me no other choice. Yes, it will take a while getting used to the new interface, so it feels as comfortable as Opera's, but it's just a matter of time. I will waste no more of my time begging for something that should be provided as a matter of fact.

Now that the flag to bring it back is seemingly gone as well I think we need to bring this back, it's one of the most used features and there was no reason to get rid of it.

Greetins from Bulgaria! I hate this magnifying glass! Bring back the "recently closed" feature. Your changes s@ck!

Return the "recently closed tabs" option in the top panel, this is much more convenient than searching in the history.

Whoever in Product team decided to remove this feature clearly does not understand their user base - and also has no idea about ergonomics and UX.
Please, bring back the closed tabs dropdown!
Despite having to go through the Opera switch to Chromium engine when all the good features were just dropped and some after many months or years re-implemented, now we have to be fine with actually useful features that are added and then silently removed? Seriously!

My history with my default browser is that you eventually get to a point where some version is almost perfectly optimised to the way you like to browse, with or without supplementary extensions. Then new features get added that may be mildly annoying but you can tweak things a bit, then more features get added (that may included removing existing ones and/or making them worse), then you get sufficiently pissed off to give another browser a try. That browser is usually lacking with respect to some features you are used to. But you stick with it and over time it becomes optimal again. Then they start ruining the experience for you and the cycle starts again!

I wonder if developers even know that Opera have its own forum where users write things about their software. Can at least some of them write someething and make a statement about this feature because lots of users are not happy about this changes and want back the old feature.

Only 3 closed tabs is terrible. I find my self repeating searches again and again and again, to find a page I closed 5 tabs ago, maybe willingly, maybe by accident...
Also... You go to the top right, you click, then you have to go back to the center, click again. On large screens, this is distracting and time consuming, and yeah in the long run...
I know you will not put it back on the top right, but PLEASE!!! Do at least 10 if not 20 closed tabs, and if you don' want to be like that by defaut, introduce a setting... Or even a flag... Something...
The history is there already, you just chose to not show it...Also... Please allow middle click to open multiple closed tabs in new window, to avoid clicking the button, opening a tab, clicking the button again, opening the next tab and so on...
It seems you made real effort to make things as unproductive as possible... Why???
