@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. -
skoy21 last edited by@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.

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???

@skoy21 At least 25 and in strict chronological order by recently closed with recently closed on top. I wonder why Opera developers cant understand it that searching is not usefull feature. Most of a time you just dont search your closed tabs just because you dont know what to search because you dont remember! Also searchin in active tabs make no sence at all because why do you need to search in tabs that you see? Maybe it will make sence if you will have openned like 500+ tabs at once...

@airforce25228 I think search in tabs could be useful to people that open a lot of tabs and use the recently closed tabs, and this without the annoying list of the tabs we can already see just above. The list is only useful as you said, to people that have a gazillion open tabs. And probably those people want closed tabs back!
In a sense "search in open tabs" is useless to the people they try to appeal to. They only manage to make a worse experience to the rest...
It's a nice-to-have feature only if other things don't get demoted because of that...

@skoy21 I have most of a time openned about 100 tabs and I never needed to search in tabs because it makes no sence. If I have to search something I can search it by this order:
favicon - tab title - preview - make tab active and look
But I think have it now! Searching is usefull if you have so many tabs that you dont even see favicons or you cant even click on them because of so small size. The question is why would you do that to open so many tabs that you cant even use your browser properly?! -

Wtf is the problem? Why do you remove the only button i click on every 5 minutes???
I mean, it is like if a car company says "we know you love that center mirror, so we gonna replace it with a modern art painting LMAO".
Are you guys high or drunk while programming? -

You can just make the user chose between that 2 options, or activate/deactivate any of them. But srsly, I'm now thinking about to switch to Firefox 7-8 years later, cause you got rid of the most useful button in your previous versions, a browser differentiator, and one of the main features that many people used everyday.
New button sucks, you know it, we know it, everybody knows it, but it seems that you're pushing your users to switch to a different browser step by step. -

We should rise this problem again and again. With elimination of old behaviour of Closed Tabs button the only way to get your synced tabs across your devices is to enable side panel and add icon to activity, or type every time activity in address bar. This is not handy at all
I don't using side panel and typing every time to access your tabs isn't good, because you can't add bookmark to activity/ anywhere.
So the change closed tabs from list to search completely removes other feature! Why??
Please bring back at least flag or button itself.

@cfyzuk said in Bring back the "Recently closed" button on the top bar on the right:
bookmark to activity/
You can add it to the bookmarks bar.
*When editing the bookmark you can notice that the real address is
chrome://startpage/activityand you can add this address everywhere you want. As a workaround because things went more complicated with recent Opera releases.
