@l33t4opera If I select 'Google public' in browser settings, should it work?
Or this is a bug?
Debug shows 'Google' as AS Name (but still Cloudflare Data center) and there's no connection.

@ralf-brinkmann this is a bug, I guess. All flags behave the same currently.
Change any flag, then return to Default and restart browser, the dropdown will be blue.
I reported it already in the blog.

Bug on 'Experiments' page.
After changing flag's state back to default, dropdown is highlighted blue anyway.
And dropdownы are bad here also (flickering while expanding + black border for selected item)
*Good news. It seems that the 'Quick Access' feature will be back.

@ralf-brinkmann what about it? You can open it and search for open tabs, like I assumed earlier

A piece time ago you announced that some cross is fixed for the search fields on sidebar panels. But I noticed that the full Internal History page still has the old one.
On Bookmarks page the cross is invisible.
And suggestion, move the search field to the left, like in O58.

@ralf-brinkmann the feature(Instant Search) is removed in 68 version, you can still find it in 67 Stable version(in 67 Beta too).

@ralf-brinkmann I don't know. Maybe to search tabs among all currently opened tabs in all workspaces.
But for me it will be easier to manually reopen website that I need instead of searching it in opened tabs.

*As I mentioned earlier (https://forums.opera.com/post/200118), they could just redesign the TabMenu for better view of currently opened tabs, leave 'recently closed' section in place and add search for both 'opened' and 'recently closed' tabs.
But they added cycling tab menu (Ctrl+Tab) instead that I will never use. It's difficult to imagine how I will press Ctrl + Tab Tab Tab ... to activate some tab if I have 30 tabs opened for example, I want using my mouse.
And now they added one more popup for opened tabs that is similar to cycling popup actually.
Two useless features in my my opinion, both are less functional than TabMenu. I just want quickly view my opened/recently tab by doing one click, without any dimming effects and searches/pressing keyboard keys many times.

@thegeneral 'Speed Dial' tab is duplicated (4 duplicated 'speed dial' tabs in total on that image), so all the duplicated tabs (excluding the active one) will be highlighted when hovering one of them.

@thegeneral
In light theme is hardly noticeable.

Workspaces suggestion.
Indicator in address bar when sidebar is hidden (will be useful for users who don't use the sidebar and will use shortcuts to switch workspaces)

Update:
there could be a popup with workspaces choice also when clicking on that indicator.

Maybe you should add some indicator (in address bar for example) of currently active 'Workspace' for those users who don't use the sidebar and will use keyboard shortcuts to switch between workspaces. Or additionally implement a popup with workspaces when clicking on that indicator to select workspaces without sidebar. Of course, if 'Workspaces' feature is disabled in settings, that indicator should be hidden too.

@eugene-b: Yes.
p.s. I usually right click 'Create search engine'

Suggestion.
Please remove or make the highlighting for the address bar 'lighter' blue. Currently that solid light blue background looks almost the same as sidebar or toolbar, it should be 2 times lighter blue (or 2 times more opacity) and should differ from sidebar/toolbar backround.

Also, the whole browser uses light blue color accents, but address bar items are still highlighted gray, it looks weird. Some light blue/opacity combinations should be used in my opinion, instead of gray.

Make VPN's location dropdown to be wide as previously.

And, of course, the white flashbang in dark mode is not fixed. I can see it every time I open Settings or Extensions pages, it was ok in 66 version. The issue is from Beta/Dev and was reported few times already.

The white flashbang for Settings/Extensions page in dark mode is still not fixed. I can see it every time I open Settings or Extensions pages.

@temkem: I'm not surprized. And It was reported many times.

The same is with bookmarks dropdown (overlapping and no scrolling in subfolders)

I asked for the fix before Beta hits Stable. zero reaction. Now I can't see my all bookmarks in subfolders, the bookmarks list is just cut.

Suggestion.

• In my opinion you shouldn't not kill the TabMenu.
  You can modernize/restyle it and make easier to use, but keep its previous functionality(quick access using mouse only and without the dimming effect).
  A bit wider popup to fit more text, add search to search for both 'Recently closed' and 'Open' tabs. 3 dots menu 'open in new tab'/'current tab'/'copy address'.
  Something like this
  

• The feature you introduced in this build can be integrated into already existing cycling tab popup (Ctrl+Tab). Add search there and allow using mouse as well to horizontally scroll opened tabs + right/left clickable arrows.
  

@leocg: it shows 3 times less tabs than TabMenu.

Edit:
By the way, sidebar also shows 'Recently closed' on bookmarks panel, but I'm not a fan of seeing the sidebar all the time.
Moreover, the bookmarks panel is super slow and laggy here when using search (see my post below).

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

'Great'. You want to kill another one functionality that I use daily. How can I quickly access 'Recently closed' tabs?
