I see you decided to take out the option to use the classic tab switching style from the 'flags' page.
I don't expect any response to this message but this made me switch to another browser after using Opera since the first smartphone I ever owned. You have no features that set you apart from other browsers other than being the only one with easy one hand tab switching and you took that out in the name of 'progress'.

I'm honestly very disappointed. I know my (and probably hundreds of other users') opinion won't change your mind, but I just wanted to let you know because I really dislike software devs just removing features because they decided it's better for their users.

Hope I'll be able to switch back to opera someday.

New tab layout is better than old tabs layout, so the developer can remove it if they love removing things

It might be better for users of other browsers because it's exactly the same, but as a 2 year Opera user I will switch to another browser if I'm forced to use that uncomfortable tab browsing anyway so I hope they'll just keep supporting the 'old' way.

I literally signed up to tell you this because it seems no one will read my email:

Hi,

I've been a faithful user of Opera on my phone for the last two years. The main reason I love opera is how lightweight it is, how the textwrapping actually works and how the tab managing isn't horrible.

Or, I should say WASN'T horrible now since the last update change tab handling to the exact horrible system other apps use. Please consider rolling back this terrible 'improvement' because in this case I might as well switch to chrome. The beauty of Opera was that I didn't need to reach across half my screen to select or close tabs, now it's just like every browser out there.

I hope you will consider my opinion since I'm sure I'm not the only one who thinks like this.

Kind regards,
Richard from South Korea

Thank God that we can still use the old tab layout from the flags page, I never even thought of that. Looks like I won't need to get a different browser after all. Please keep supporting the user friendly 'old' tab managing method in future versions of opera as well and I'll keep being a happy user!
