@mychakk Interesting discovery you have made.

Thanks to your comment I tried to open a new window and had the same result, the Tabs button now shows on the new window (although, it won't happen on a private window):

However, as you mentioned, next time I open a new instance of Opera it is missing again on the Sidebar. It is not even on the option menu to check it.

And for the sync icon, it's behavior has been the same since I can remember. It will only be displayer when you choose to log in from the Opera menú. I think it is because it works like the Download button, which only appears when you make a new download, so it never bothered me.

@leocg Well, I'm glad to know that the sync function for the tabs is still available.
I would prefer to have the dropdown button back, on the top bar, next to the search button, but I can use the link to 'opera://activity' in the Speed Dial as a workaround, until the erratic button in the sidebar gets fixed.

@Gustistereo Update:
I was reading this thread: https://forums.opera.com/topic/39170/where-is-the-recently-closed-tabs-tab-menu-button-on-the-top-right and found this comment:

I tried it out and it worked

The tabs button is back.

@MrPatyk please remember it's only temporary solution, you have just disabled the feature on developers flag. When the version is stable this option may be no longer available.

I also hope the other devices tab button will get fixed soon.

@MESWEB-0 Same here, I've tried the instructions above to disable the search in open tabs experimental feature with no luck

Maybe the developers' flag is no longer available?

also try entering just flags:
opera://flags
then type search in the box that opens as you enter the flags,
then you look for: Improved search in open tabs
and try to disable it

@mychakk It was fine, but after update this magnifier came back Can I install older version of opera? This isn't there too, so I can't see my open tabs on other devices. Only mobile have that right now. Is it fixable?

@MrPatyk hi, I didn't notice the option is gone until you mentioned it, but if you click on the magnifying glass, there is a set of closed tabs, so I think they may have merged the old function with this new button.

As for the Tabs icon, if you click on the three dots at the bottom of the side bar you should be able to add the features you have there, and one of those is Tabs Button, I added it I think two or three days ago.

@mychakk In version # 70.0.3728.71 (for Linux) the flag "search-in-open-tabs" unfortunately is no longer available.

As you mentioned, the magnifying glass icon has a set of closed and open tabs, but only for the current device

Also, the Tabs icon for the side bar is still buggy. It is sometimes available and sometimes is missing. However, if the icon is missing you can still access to the list of tabs by typing opera://activity in the address bar.

So far, it seems to be the only option since the "search-in-open-tabs" flag has been removed.

@Gustistereo I work on Windows, and my version is 70.0.3728.95, and I have both the Tabs button (no issues there from what I've see so far) on the side bar, and the search in tabs button on the top bar, but there definitely seems to be only the list of opened and closed tabs of the device (not all the devices).
