@chrisohm said in Where is the "Recently closed tabs/Tab menu" button on the top right?:

I just extra created an acoount just to reply here to say that the removal of the "recently closed tabs" button is the worst decision in whole opera history. This button was THE reason why I have always used Opera instead of Firefox or Chrome and I use Opera for more than 10 years. And now you removed it....
The new menu-->history way is very bad: way more clicks and much longer way for the mouse pointer and therefore uncomfortable and time wasting.
Adding the new search option is not wrong overall (although I don't need it) but why replacing another more useful thing with that? Do the Opera developers really think that average Opera user is such an dumb person that one button leads to overstraing while using Opera? The absolute minimum would be giving the user an option to decide which buttons he/she wants to have.

Thanks for the guys giving the solution with changing the flag but I am very afraid that the flag will be removedn a future version because of "cleaning up the code"... It will be the point where I have to choose a new browser.

Just wanted to say I agree 100% with this. This was the single most useful button of any browser, and I have been going nuts the few days I have been using the new version until I came to find this workaround.

Bring back the old functionality!

This really does seem to be the only topic to have generated this amount of interest over the last month, if not a considerably longer time period. For me, this change only appeared about a week ago, and as I said above it entirely broke the functionality of the software as I used it.

If the developers are unable to listen to feedback that is quite clear about the features that the users like using, then something is broken.

@leocg

Why would this have been done? It's quite clear this move goes against what the majority of the community wants.

@tyllurius How do you do that? I've been searching for that functionality for a while, but I've not seen a flag for it.

Any prelim release date for this 27 ?

I recently updated to Opera 25, but I am finding it a headache with regards to a lot of features that existed in 12 and I am finding something as relevant as managing bookmarks an absolute headache in the new version.

A lot of the answers presented on this site seem to say "Oh just use it alongside some other browser" but is there any hope of the new Opera actually improving? Especially since a lot of people seem to be voicing their doubts about missing a number of the features that we have come to expect...

If not, why would I not want to find a different browser which works on all websites (as the old Opera no longer did) and is comfortable and easy to manage with regards to all the features I wish to use? Or, to put it differently, why would I continue using Opera 25 at all given it does not provide me with what I have come to expect ?
