What he means is that it used to be visible on speed dial, but hidden while browsing pages, which made sense...
I open a new tab and I have the side panel if I want to go to my favorites or my history etc, or simply go browse a page. When I browse a page, I no longer need the side options...
So, I am up for the same... Keep the sidebar on the settings/new tab/speeddial etc, but hide it from actual pages
@burnout426 said in Where is the "Recently closed tabs/Tab menu" button on the top right?:
Goto the URL
opera://flags/#search-in-open-tabs, disable the flag, and restart Opera.
Thanks for that, it's not obvious at all that disabling the "search in open tabs" brings back the "open closed tabs" Button...
As if they do it on purpose to piss of their few loyal remaining users..
That is unbelievable! The change from 12 to the new Opera was terrible, but started adding features back and slowly slowly became ok again, and now they strike back... As if you see what your users want and you do the opposite, just to get us!
A suggestion to Opera developers: Limit the opened tabs to 3! We don't need more. Oh, and limit the amount of history to 3 as well, remove the speed dial or limit the speed dial entries to 3. See? Great improvements, don't you think? You just made Opera worse... Again...
It has been a few days for me since the change to limit closed tabs to just 3, and it has been a browser changing experience...
It is worse than the change from Presto to Chromium. That at least, was a change, this is pure depreciation of features, both useful and (almost) unique.
Suddenly I find my self having to change a lot to my daily interaction with the web, both personal and at work, or simply repeat things that 2 days ago were just a click of a button.
Somewhere in the twin threads of "Where is" and "Bring Back" the recently closed tabs, someone mentioned that Opera 71 will change this back to somewhat better than just 3 tabs. Hopefully, otherwise, it's going to be a break up from Opera which I have been using since it was a payed software...
@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.
@Nakanaki07 As they mentioned above, go to the URL opera://flags/#search-in-open-tabs, disable the flag, and restart Opera.
The old Closed Tabs icon will reapear.
@danomajster press the options gear on the bar and they mention a fix for this problem in that page. Here it is as well https://www.mycinema.pro/options.html
The Dark theme was excellent as it was, now, with the 60 update, it became a flat black thing with no distinction between the various elements.
Also, why the black in the speed dial folders????
Recently closed tabs is a feature well used. It used to be unlimited number of entries, but only got 10 entries now.
Why to have more recently closed tabs entries!
There are times and situations that 10 are not enough, especially while someone is working or researching or both.
There is the need to go forth and back to a lot of tabs to grab pieces of information.
There was tab stacking some time ago, that gave you the ability to manage your open tabs to groups, free tab bar space, and easily find your way through a large number of open tabs.
There is also the issue that too many tabs crash opera, or make things "heavier" and slower, so its essential to close some tabs to free up resources and space in tab bar, and then easily and quickly reopen them through Recently Closed tabs.
In overall: More recently closed tabs add to more efficiency!
Opera used to be the fastest browser, not only in terms of loading speed, but mostly because it allowed you to do stuff with less clicks and less mouse hovering around the screen.
Please consider bringing the feature back to its more "helpful" state!!!
Just to help out, here what Opera says about Assistant, copied from https://www.opera.com/privacy that @burnout426 posted above.
Browser Assistant. Your copy of Opera for computers may include a component that displays desktop notifications promoting the browser’s features. It checks if any notifications are pending on a scheduled basis and may anonymously report occurrence of certain system events (namely low battery, low hard disk space, new Wi-Fi network connected, another browser installed). This information is not collected by us and no personal information is sent.
So, yes, it seems to be privacy violation. I always choose to NOT send any data and statistics during Opera installation, but it seems Opera Assistant does not respect this option anyway...
As they say, it reports some system events but information is not collected by Opera? Then who collects this information that Assistant reports?
I have a similar issue, where the top bar spacing does not work at all. It was the case a few versions prior, they fixed it, and it broke again after a short period.
It is impossible to grab the window if you have many tabs open, only place left is between the last tab and the "open closed tabs" icon...
@applec Thanks, this is the only relevant and actually useful answer to this question!
So, thanks!
Well, I later found out that it makes youtube extremely laggy when scrolling down to comments, or even at the main page that there is no player... I only used the wheel volume feature, everything else was turned off.
Thank you, I was searching for youtube mouse wheel volume and yours works like a charm! Eventually I will explore the rest features!
@gorhill There was no need for reporting the filters, I never said I had problems, it was just a matter of adjusting the settings, managing exceptions, adding more filters, removing some, etc., so everything becomes tailor-made to my usage...
@seroko111 no, it's definitelly not the same for sure.
@seroko111 in opera 71, it came back. There is a "show more" under the 3 closed tabs and it gives about 25 closed items. Maybe you need to change the flag opera://flags/#search-in-closed-tabs
Ok, I will not complain any more since the "basic" functionality came back. By "basic", I mean we can now find closed tabs. Having said that, I would like to point out a few suggestions for this basic functionality to become actually functional and efficient instead of just existing for the purpose of existing....
The above points will make this feature efficient, so there is not constant clicks and meters of mouse movement just to open a few closed tabs, and although it seems like not so important, in the long run they add up and start consuming a lot of otherwise valuable time, unnecessary clicks, unnecessary hand and mouse movement, shorter mouse life, finger/wrist fatigue etc...
@gorhill I had different experience where I could not open elements on many sites after installing uBO, so I had to set-up various exeptions etc... It works right out of the box in most sites but not everywhere and for everyone
