As a workaround disable these 2 flags and the old popup will be back.

@leocg Look what I've found https://blogs.opera.com/desktop/2017/08/exportable-bookmarks-smoother-videos-design-improvements-opera-47/

Yes, I agree with Opera, this a handy shortcut to my history log.

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

new location of the list in Menu->History

This is not a new location, 'recently closed' short list has always been there. When they recommend to use OMenu > History instead they are just trying to justify their weird decision regarding the removed TabMenu. OMenu is not the same as TabMenu, otherwise the TabMenu wouldn't have been necessary and implemented at all in the past.

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

try improving tabs management

Obvious conclusion.
And not just a try, it really improved the tabs management, and 'Search in tabs' worsened it.

@nsx

Instead of simply improving/restyling the existing TabMenu and adding a search field there they replaced it with a part taken from the removed 'InstantSearch' feature (InstantSearch had the 'search for tabs' feature, by the way, but it was said that the InstantSearch was unpopular feature that's why it was removed. So it's worth asking why we have a part from unpopular feature in the top right corner now).
Now they are trying to recreate the already existing and well working tabs management popup (I mean Tab Menu), but it seems that the final result (regarding the functionality) will be worse anyway than the existing one. That what I can call as 'wasted developers resources'.

@treego you can disable #search-in-open-tabs flag to return the tab menu.

@andrew84 Something like this (maybe wider) popup and all would be happy, but they trying to invent a wheel instead.

I'm also on Win 8.1 and I have various results in different browsers (Chrome, FireFox, Vivaldi, Edge Canary on chromium).
With hardware acceleration ON it does work nowhere (small difference is in FireFox where the black screen is appearing when I click 'play' button, in other browsers no response)
With hardware acceleration OFF it plays correctly only in Chrome. It also plays in Edge, but with freezes (not smooth). In FireFox and Vivaldi is the same result as with acceleration off.

@leocg said in Opera 69.0.3638.0 developer update:

can't please everyone all the time.

It's more than possible in this particular case.
Just add switches on the new popup as I suggested above https://forums.opera.com/post/203796

Or restyle the TabMenu to look more modern but with the kept functionality and layout.
Both developers (because there will be another one new feature implemented that can be hyped) and users (because it will be the same feature, loved by most users, but even more improved) will be happy in this case. And the complaints will stop instantly.

Selected item on Downloads popup is hardly readable is now in Stable.
Cookies popup still have the white scroll bar and weird buttons in the blocked tab.
All the issues were reported in 72 Developer thread

@kmielczarczyk Good news.
So this is bug after all? I was said that this one is Chromium's behavior.
https://forums.opera.com/post/229472

Then maybe OMemu > History/Bookmarks opening in panels is not intended behavior as well?

@jojo0587 https://forums.opera.com/post/229475

It's hard to believe that the Chromium behavior regarding the opened dropdowns can't be edited
Another one Stable release that I'll skip.

By the way, I don't use Opera GX, but there was a report also regarding the new feature 'Dynamic audio visualizer' which also consumes CPU https://forums.opera.com/post/224782
The feature can be turned off there, but the implementation of such feature tells me that they don't care much for fixing the bug (looks a bit funny because GX offers some RAM and CPU limitations and at the same time GX itself contains feature which consumes a lot of CPU. If I limit CPU usage, the feature will lag, I guess)

@zalex108 said in High cpu usage watching youtube:

Animated icon is unnecessary, a toggle to a Static one for those with the problem is more than enough until find a global fix

Sure.
But I just suggested a compromise in case if they (Opera) want to keep the equalizer view (jumping bars) to be different from other browsers. I'm pretty sure that very few users will notice the difference or will be against the simple animation,
*Vivaldi also has an animated tab's indicator (sound waves) but this is just a simple loop animation and doesn't consume CPU.

There are enough bug reports on forum and in the blog (with screenshots) so most probably they are aware of the bug but ignoring it during a ~year already and don't offer any solution if they can't fix it.
I don't know what's the problem to replace the equalizer with a simple animated icon (with the same animation style if they wish)?

Do something with the middle click that closes bookmarks bar dropdowns.
https://forums.opera.com/post/229475
Even if the issue relates to the change in Chromium, I believe there should be some workaround to bypass it. I use the option daily and regularly.

• Duplicated tabs highlighting feature looks broken, the blue underline is shown somewhere behind the tabs.
  

• the closing cross on the BABE looks/works confusing, it tells 'hide' but actually it disables the enhanced bar completely in Settings. Better put a toggle in the EasySetup (appearance section where 'show bookmarks bar/sidebar' toggles) or change the option name to 'disable'.
  

*by the way, the zooming/scaling is still broken for the BABE. And I still have a hope to see quick action buttons on the babe and option to hide the 'Top sites'.

@AngelinaPaluyanava said in Opera 73.0.3841.0 developer update:

3. This is Chromium behaviour, so in Opera now we have the same.

This is very bad.
But I still can open tiles using middle click (or context menu 'open in new tab') in speed dial folders and folder's popup stays opened in this case, Why I can't do the same on the BABE?
Also, is it possible to restyle the bookmarks bar dropdowns and transform it into popups (toolbars popups and bookmarks dropdowns are in different styles currently anyway, but should be unified like in other browsers) or any other kind of solution to bypass the Chromium's behavior?

@jetro said in Bookmarks and History panels are empty:

when I select the Bookmarks 'panel' (Ctrl+Shift+B). Only a blank, black field appears.

As written above it's a known bug (and was reported since the time when it first appeared in Dev/Beta versions, but despite of multiple reports they released Stable with the known bug).
To see the full Bookmarks page (using Ctrl+Shift+B) you have to select 'open full page' in the sidebar settings if you have the sidebar active all the time. Or just hide the sidebar.
