@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

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.

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.

@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.

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...

Next is one-time problem, cannot reproduce, has never been happened before, just for information:

After running one old, not color managed image editor, then some color-managed image viewer and switching back to Opera it lost its color managment capabilities. Having wide gamut monitor I can see that easily - colors were shown as unmanaged (unnaturally bright) ones.
After Opera restart all was normal.

In Windows settings, what is the default printer for you? If it is Adobe PDF (like your screenshot shows), then select some other printer, restart Opera and try again.

Crashes without clear context, usually while opening some background tab (not opened during current session), about once a day. Multiple crash reports uploaded, latest was "CrashID=bp-d0bea4db-4190-425a-9bb5-e207b0240902".
