Opera 70 comes with easier access to closed tabs, simpler searches, and new Workspace icons

minho last edited byWhy was the flag to re-enable the old menu to reopen recently closed tabs/windows removed? Now there is no way to distinguish between recently closed tabs and windows
and only the last 3 tabs are listed in the popup opened when we click on the magnifier icon. -

@loysek: it was 32 before.
They implemented a 'Show more' button in the latest Dev build to see more than 3 recent tabs. But I can't call it handy especially if I have only few tabs opened, why should I press 'Show more' if the 'open tabs' section is almost empty. The algorithm of showing the open/recent tabs should be reworked and depend on how much open tabs are open currently.Well, this was not even implemented in developer branch yet

#search-in-closed-tabs-show-more flag.I just wonder how slowly they restore the TabMenu's functionality. It seems we must wait 2 releases more for the dark theme, 2 more releases for the ability to close the open tabs within the Search in tabs popup.
*By the way, most probably forgot that TabMenu had the 'Tab preview' feature. The old TabMenu is 2x time more functional and handy than the modern one. -

Where are my closed tabs?? I've opened several sites in this session and only the last three show in the drop down.
The write up for this version describes it as primarily a search function, but to me that's backwards: it's primary purpose is as a Closed Tabs function, in which one then "searches" -- visually looks down a list! -- for the tab(s) they are looking for. How does it help me to have to search for something I don't recall exactly, i.e., sufficiently to know what to search for! It seems like you're forcing me to use History. Why? And that drop-down with a search icon is about as non intuitive as could be, because it's principally a Closed Tabs function, even if it allows true searches within it.
The last build or two had categories that left me wondering where the closed tabs had gone until I figured out how Opera had "helped" me by hiding them by default. Now, on first look this appears dysfunctional. I would have thought the UI would be obvious to work with, and work correctly (and thoroughly) on first approach. I'm left to wonder if a setting has been hidden somewhere that allows specifying the number of closed tabs that show.
The closed tabs function is vital to my use of Opera, one of the two or three most important features in my use of the browser. Please stop trying to help me by messing with it.

Dragging several tabs to another workspace doesn't work anymore. Only one of them is moved.

https://addons.opera.com/en/extensions/details/undo-closed-tabs-button/It's useless because there is no synced tabs across the devices anymore in such extensions...

Where is the synced tabs across devices? Former closed tabs and synced tabs button have had this fuctionaluty, and now it's gone almost completely. There is opera://activity - but how can I launch it not from address bar typing?
P.S. Reverting to 69...

Why is the synced tab button removed from the top bar? (Where the search in tab button is currently) It was incredibly useful and way faster. Instead I have to have it in the sidebar, and when I click it it opens a new page instead of just appearing like Messenger and Twitter do.

@vegelund: Exactly. I don't understand the thinking led to effectively disabling one of the great features of Opera.

@AmmarAjam45 It was removed in Opera 69 when Tabs Menu was replaced by Search in Tabs.
To view synced opened tabs, type opera://activity in address bar or, if you have luck, use the tabs icon in sidebar.

@minho Thanks for the suggestion but I prefer not to use extensions that can access the browsing history. It is sad that we have to install third-party extensions to use functions that Opera already had and that without taking its users into account, they insist on eliminate them or worsening its usability.
