@leocg said in Where is the "Recently closed" button on the top right?:

@ericartman92 Just remember that this is a temporary solution.

I seriously hope that this temporary solution remains usable forever. I completely agree with @ericartman92 that such kind of changes can drive current users away.

Being a software dev myself, I have direct experience with removing even (usable) erroneus behavior (not talking about features) form our application - there are always users, who are badly affected. Well, our software is not free and thereby we simply can not experiment with our customer base - apparently Opera has no such limitations.

@assybish

Disable opera://flags/#search-in-open-tabs - does work for now. If they remove that flag altogether, then I will seriously consider changing browser.

@schwschwschw
opera://flags - search cashback - disable - does that help?

@leocg
In some (russian) forums I noticed recommendation to clear last month data (cache etc) and update Rich Hints Agent to latest version.
I would think (not sure of course, just an idea) that this extension downloads some third-party scripts and sometimes those scripts are a bit evil.

It would be very helpful if Opera could tell us, what exactly those hidden non-removable extensions do, otherwise at least I qualify them as mild malware. Sure we have to live with these extensions - there are likely no chromium based browsers, not spying after their users

@leocg
Instead promoting Opera's unfortunate decisions please tell users about current solution to restore old button:

Goto the URL opera://flags/#search-in-open-tabs, disable the flag, and restart Opera.

Well, this is called "developers know better". For temporary solution read here: https://forums.opera.com/topic/39170/where-is-the-recently-closed-button-on-the-top-right/11

@yoyolo

Your nice long instructions unfortunately are not related to OP problem about viatorrents site behavior

Interesting, similar problem here today - dev stream 74.0.3862.0. Alt-tabbing to another app and back to Opera seems help.

@burnout426
Most likely people here do not complain about flashing red, which is usually related to (broken) downloads, but flashing orange - which I also encounter, but have not find explanation yet.

For me, orange flashing occurs sometimes (not always and only on one PC) when I switch from Opera to some other fullscreen application. It looks like Opera needs attention (wants focus/attempts to bring itself to foreground), but there is no reason to this. Switching back to Opera and then to other window clears this flashing.

Just checked with dev version 81.0.4183.0 - happened once. Can not repeat such behavior at will, thereby no bug report.

@dorkspace
opera://settings/content/pdfDocuments

@sporty78 Audio can be disabled in settings (search for sound).

@leocg
Most likely he has very narrow tabs and audio icon fills entire tab width. I have seen that problem too.

@vipermini
Can you use Ctrl+Tab to activate such tab?

@kimkorton Did you disable Opera internal ad-blocker too? This may interfere, if your site uses external resources. Also when there is mixed mode content (some resources over http, some over https), then Opera may block some parts of it.
Have you using VPN? This should not affect rendering, but some external resources may not be available.
Opera shares rendering engine with Chrome and Edge, there should be no differences using CSS/JS.

Would it be possible give us link - we could check, what and how we see there?

@Atlantic01 Have you some adblocking extension installed? Try to disable them, also disable Opera adblocker temporarily - such effects are sometimes caused by some cookie or other warning, which gets blocked.

@cafeochomx
My about 40 tabs consume 800MB either. Is that actually a problem? I've got some gigabytes free, Opera could consume up to 6GB or so, I would not notice.
But as this 800 MB is for single tab and seems a bit too much, press Shift+Esc and note down, which Opera sub-processe consumes most memory. It is likely some extension, be it Opera internal or some external one.

@Retoreto Use nirsoft Opera passview to recover your lost passwords.

And try to remember your windows password - it may be needed sometimes.

@tech-wendigo
About a year ago MS Teams stopped to work in my Opera browser - could not sign in (I do not remember precise error message however). People recommended to use some user agent switcher (extension) and select Edge compatible user agent there - I did that and could use Teams again.
It is possible that some MS logon pages may treat Opera in incorrect way.

Another question - do you have VPN enabled in Opera? This may sometimes cause unexplainable errors too.

@dzittin IMO it depends on page itself - Opera returns to same spot on static pages, but unfortunately it is not possible for badly constructed dynamic pages (which load content while scrolling for example).

@mrstimpy Looks like ebay behaves this way. How it is in Edge/Chrome/Firefox?

For me, Edge opens new tab too, no Firefox here. I like that actually, no need to always hold down Ctrl key

@mrstimpy Does this happen on multiple sites or just on one site?
If on one site, please add link to it - it may be page itself behaving this way.
If it happens on multiple sites, then maybe you have got some extension, which intercepts clicks and opens links in new tabs? Or you just have Control key stuck...
