      I wholeheartedly agree with the posters above. Please please do not remove it, and especially not with a function that promotes bad use of the browser...

      Users who close tabs regularly will miss the feature dearly while only psychopaths that enjoy having 200+ tabs open can enjoy the search-in-open-tabs function.

        I wholeheartedly agree with the posters above. Please bring it back as a standard feature.

        I have absolutely no use for the search-in-tabs feature you seem to be replacing it with, I think only psychopaths find a use for that while they keep 200+ tabs open.

          Guys, why on earth did you remove the "last opened tabs" drop-down list button on the right side of the tabs instead of that frankly useless "search through the tabs" button? Could you please bring it back or make this buttons somehow customizable in the settings? Thanks.

            I think they are going to add recently closed tabs feature into this search in tabs feature? no? if so, what they are doing is right. because this is a search feature, so it makes sense that they are building it first and then other features will be added. if it's going to stay like this it really makes no sense.

                I registered on this forum solely to post this comment because this feature's removal has frustrated me so much. I used it constantly. I don't want to search open tabs.

                      @ericartman92 This is exactly what I wanted to ask. For a while Opera seemed to quit doing stupid things, but it looks like they are at it again.

                        Exactly. The problem is that many features are really useful, many are unique to opera, the presence of many is pinnacle of reasons why some use this particular browser.
                        Opera is moving from being a browser that can do so many separate different things to one that has questionable looks and is as tailored to a simple majority as it can be.
                        The real fanbase is dwindling when it comes to those that use opera for more than ten years and still love it for what it once was.

                            I use this all the time.
                            As others have said, it discourages lean browsing.
                            I don't want 50 tabs open 'just in case',
                            Bring back the recently opened tabs please.

                              Having some useful buttons was always making Opera better than other browsers. I was in grief when they removed a button that toggled Flash-autoplay while loading sites, then a button that switched loading images.
                              Now this super handy "recently closed" button. Please, don't 🙂

                                @vadimkazealot That's why I keep on using Opera - because they have some very handy features that other browsers don't. And it really pisses me off when they start "improving" things. For example, I really miss the "Notes" feature, where you could highlight a chunk of text in a web-page and save it to a note.

                                      @superduper Download the Vivaldi browser made by previous Opera's CEO/co-founder and some other Presto-era guys it has these features intact and improved.

                                        @raphaelfrf @p11rat Switch to the Vivaldi browser because they don't remove features like that. That's the only way out Opera devs are giving us to have the features we want.

                                          @rafaelluik Screw Vivaldi. I have been using opera for I don't know how long, may be over 10 years, and I don't want to switch to no vivaldis.
                                          The closed tabs button has not been removed, but simple turned off in the Settings.
                                          There is a parameter in Settings that allows to turn it back on. Look up the way to do it in this tread.
