[OfA]An easier way to import synced opened tabs

After looking to solve the problem, I've seen that in the past many people complained about the lack of synchronization of tabs. I have a new smartphone, sync was problematic but finally happened, but synced tabs are quite difficult to discover. Beside that, I expected the browser to be populated with the tabs opened on the old device, that's what syncing would mean to me. Or at least, I expect to have a function to easily import all tabs with a single tap, like it happens with bookmarks and passwords.
Instead, if I tap on the not-easy-to-discover logo, I just see a long list of the opened tabs on the old device, but I should select each one manually, that's a real burden because I have hundreds of them. In practice it is a non-viable solution.

Going beyond importing tabs, there should be an option to simply "clone" an installation from an old phone to the new one, keeping everything (tabs, passwords and also cookies) and making a migration smooth and simple. The missing tab-importing feature is fundamental, because losing all the tabs in the new phone means I have to start from zero, and so I could just use any other browser. This way I lose an incentive to continue using the Opera browser.

Opera Browser for Android version 80.1
