How hard would it be to add a setting slider that toggles the button between search (new) and closed tabs (old)

Opera developers, listen to the users and bring back the Recently Closed Tabs button. You are losing credibility. I use Opera since 2000 or something like that, so i know what i'm talking about. Even i, an old school user, am thinking to stop using this program because i feel disrespected by the programmers when you don't listen to what people are talking about or don't give an explanation. At least you should explain why your taking off a function that people like and why can't you simple make it optional.

Shocking.
I had removed the autoupdate.exe, it worked for a few weeks, and now again! opera has updated itself to 70 and the recently closed tabs function is gone!
I wanted to look what the thread "Where is the "Recently closed tabs/Tab menu" button on the top right?" suggests, and the thread was closed by the moderators just in time for this situation, claiming: "There was enough discussion about this now" What is this, public gagging?

Any ideas to roll back to 69 and stay with the recently closed tab feature?

I've installed the portable version of Vivaldi now. Seems promising!
Shame. Opera was my favourite browser for a few years now. Unfortunately it bent with the google way of thinking and focused on data exploration by forcing users to perform searches that can be tracked and evaluated.
I'm not part of the target group any more.

@nicolleen install 69, then "Go to Windows's System / Advanced System Settings, in the Advanced tab click the button to manage the Environment Variables and add one called "OPERA_AUTOUPDATE_DISABLED". Done."

@cfyzuk Thanks for your help.
As i said, I have done this, that is, I have deleted the autoupdate.exe straight away, but now, a few weeks later, suddenly the desired button is gone and the info revealed Opera 70. I don't know why, but Opera seems to have found a way around it to autoupdate.

@cfyzuk Ah, sorry, I didn't read your post properly. Great, I will try it this way.

@nicolleen Go Vivaldi. It has more than 20 recently closed tabs and a bunch of other goodies. It may take a little while to get used to, but it will be worth it. I am currently using Vivaldi alongside with Opera in the process of complete switching to it.
The only thing that Vivaldi does not not have it's the free VPN. But I personally practically do not use VPN in Opera anyway.
There is another flaw with Opera that Vivaldi fixes. Opera has some bug that won't let you do authentication on sites using social networks. Vivaldi does it without any problems.
Try it and see for yourself and tell "helpful" Opera developers to stick their product into that orifice of their anatomy where the sun does not shine, if they threat their users this way.

@nicolleen I am currently using Vivaldi alongside with Opera in the process of complete switching to it. I would say that other than usual unfamiliarity with the new interface, which in reality is not that much different from Opera, it's quite an commendable product. I'm planning to completely switch to it and make it my default browser.

@nicolleen As I said, I don't really need VPN. Besides, what else besides VPN does this Ghost have? Vivaldi does have a bunch of goodies that I like.
P.s. Oh, I see, it's and application. But they want money. I an't paying.

At one point recently we could expand it to show more than three, now that's also gone.

And it doesn't even show the most recent three tabs, it seems to pick and choose on what closed tabs to show, and quite frequently the one I want isn't in it even though I just closed it 30 seconds ago.

Why?

I've been using Vivaldi for a week and I don't think I'll ever come back to Opera. Not even if this fckn button reappears as it should, I just don't need it anymore. Thanks Opera devs for screwing up our experience and forcing us to search for something better

I was using the recently closed button a lot.

Now I am using side panel's history instead. There is available only five recently closed windows what is not enough for me. Original position on right-top of Opera window was more useful for me as well.

Stay to be good Opera.

Does Vivaldi has password storage and sync between desktop/android client?

Right now the pain of migrating stored password is pretty much whats keeping me from migrating to something else.

@nsx It looks like you can. I'm not going to post a link here, check out the vivaldi browser help with "importing passwords" and "Sync".

Just checked update and the "show more" is back, haven't noticed if any recent tabs are missing yet.

Although I would've preferred if it's expanded by default, or at least an option to keep it expanded.
