If you find what google policy I have to uninstall, kindly tell me

I woke up this morning, and to my sadness and anger, this bug came up on Opera:

Yesterday, if long pressed the tab view button, Opera would immediately open a new tab.

Now, when I long press this button, an useless menu appears, making this thing look like the reason I abandoned Chrome and spit on it's grave a year ago.

Please fix this bug quickly !

@leocg

If that "behavior" is intentional, it has to go back ASAP to the hole it came from.

By the way, Opera 67.0.3508.63081 doesn't have this disgusting defect.

@leocg

It's time Opera copy the good things from other browsers, not the crap from other browsers.

I'm having the same problem. The Assist shortcut (long press home button) disappeared as an option hours ago. I had to revert to opera 57.2 to get the function back.

Fix this !

Any update on this ?

Is there a developer working on it !?
Is there even a developer seeing this forum ?

Opera 58.2 is out, but I'm forced to use 57.2 because of this.

@lexusxp You may download older versions of Opera over the internet. There are infinite sites.

Versions above 57.2 don't have the Assist function. But maybe it's my phone.

Make sure you backup the browser data (bookmarks, history, open tabs), either through opera's account, or by Titantium Backup (root)

Any update on this ?

Did opera at least acknowledge the existence of this bug !?

Seriously !
I nees news on this !

When is this useless thing being removed !?!?!?

Over half a year. Still no sign of fixing this annoyance !

Two years now and No Fix !

Opera is horrible in that aspect.
It asks me if I want to remember the password, then the next hour it already forgot

@aod6

Firefox supports addons.
Try it to see if your addon is supported

I almost completely replaced opera by now

@leocg

Yeah... Harass anyone who complains and Never gets heard (as everyone who posted here). That will surely make Opera evolve.

I'm also waiting for this. Will keep flooding this forum until the bastards bring back what they took.

Meanwhile, I posted a workaround above to have it back. In a way.

I may have found a workaround.

• Download an older Opera version (one that had the assist function)
• Enable the assist on Android
• Then update Opera.

Android will keep the assist function, even though Opera made the stupid choice to remove it.
