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

try improving tabs management

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

@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.

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.

@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'.

Make the 'top sites' pane optional (expand arrow or switchable off in Setting) and add 'quick action' buttons (Copy/Paste/Print/Find/Full screen/Save as PDF and similar)

*As for the shortcuts, it's better to make it customizable and offer users select what shortcuts each users want. 5-6 shortcuts for example, from the range of browser options (20 -30 most important options/elements/pages).

And my suggestion also is to focus more on options that directly refer to currently opened page and on address field/text, not on some global browsers features (that's why I'd like to see quick buttons).

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.

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

Maybe there should be a slider to adjust the level of sharpness.

On the other hand, why only sharpness?
There are also saturation, brightness, contrast adjustments I used to see in built-in options in players on web pages.
Сontroversial feature.

@orewayaya I don't use GX but in stock Opera version the feature is already implemented but still hidden in flags. I believe it's more than a year already since the flag first appeared and it's still disabled for some reason(under development).

Regarding the second suggestion there was multiple reports already. Other browsers (Edge, Chrome ) allow to select and move multiple tabs. Looks like this an default Chromium's behavior, not clear why Opera can't

Now there's a general flag appeared in the latest (80.0.4162.0) developer build.
#static-tab-audio-indicator

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

I'd like to have the ability(button/toogle) on the vpn popup itself to add/exclude sites.
"Turn off/on for this site" for example, Like it works for privacy protection popup.

@sektorl try disabling the #scrollable-tab-strip flag and check.

Despite of being enabled by default, the scrollable tab strip flag causes both visual and usage issues(even if the toggle in Settings is disabled).

@karen-arzumanyan: disable #search-in-open-tabs flag.

@krteq
@ghirahim
#search-in-closed-tabs-show-more flag.

I just wonder how slowly they restore the TabMenu's functionality. It seems we must wait 2 releases more for the dark theme, 2 more releases for the ability to close the open tabs within the Search in tabs popup.
*By the way, most probably forgot that TabMenu had the 'Tab preview' feature. The old TabMenu is 2x time more functional and handy than the modern one.

Ok, the bug when updating is still there. Red dot on OMenu but no progress line and no relaunch button on About page (only the continuous 'Checking for updates...'). It's seems that reporting bugs in the blog is pointless, most probably the bug is already in Beta.

By the way, in my opinion, the old icon (outlined style) looks better.
The new one is out of style a bit.
