I also believe that this option should come back. I don't understand the reason why it's replaced by this non-functional search in the tabs feature... also instead of removing instant search please enhance it more, for example let us be able to change the search engine other than google...

@diegosdf

Could you please tell me why you guys removed Instant Search (google) from the latest version? A lot of people liked the feature, please tell me there are plans to bring it back.

people are complaining about this everywhere. I hope they bring it back if they are not going to I hope they can give us an explanation about what did they think? why did they drop that feature?

is there any dev in here that can tell us anything about this? obviously a lot of users are upset...

hello,

• instead of closing the window with cmd+w / ctrl+w it would be nice to turn back to the start page.
• I believe it's a useful feature because sometimes I quickly close all the tabs one after another and end up closing the whole window and then open a new window again. instead of this, it would be nice if opera stops and displays the start page.

thank you.

@ab-garcez

I also miss the top right drop-down menu.

you can still have it just disable opera://flags#search-in-open-tabs

@leocg @diegosdf

Sometimes keeping a feature that very few people use may not worth the cost.

I understand this "costs", but opera is an innovative browser right? instant search was a super innovative feature. they should be improving it more, not dropping it. I prefer opera to see this feature as something they can promote for more people to use. they give up too quickly.

problem is what kind of user base they are aiming right now? if the quality of that user base will determine the features in the future and if opera choose to make a browser for more average user it makes me a bit worry because I don't know how innovative and feature-rich it can get with this approach. this is why I think they need to keep listening to some of their users who demand more capability and practical design.

I believe more advance user base what opera needs. for promoting itself, defending itself against haters, etc. if you give me a good product that I really believe and feel like I'm a part of, I'll promote it and defend it.

@avl why not both can exist at the same time? why it has to be one or the other? instant search feature should be enhanced in my honest opinion. we should be able to search in tabs, bookmarks, history, extensions, under the hood shortcuts, web search with custom search engines, etc.

another option I can think of -and I believe this can be a bit more sustainable in your part; is using the enhanced address bar in a similar way. like how firefox did. you can make it bigger on focus and look (maybe) and behave similarly to the spotlight in macos? I really liked the enhanced address bar and maybe it can become a very cool feature and make everyone happy?

I can't believe we don't have this man... just... sigh...

when this is going to happen? it's still does not sync the extensions! the last suggestion topic was seems to be three years ago! every browser has this function, when?

people are concerning about chinese ownership and saying that china has a bad record with human rights. same people are giving all their info to google and/or facebook voluntarily and become their product and this is better than what they think about china? neither is good and I believe some of this concerns can be acceptable. what opera should do with this is that they should be more transparent about all this, not complete silence. people are thinking that some things are not right. this is just bad management of a corporate image. they should do better.

@jhoguinal google is evil

@l33t4opera said in Opera developer 69 - news:

You know some features are simply removed because they are not so well popular among the users

yeah, I know and it seems like Opera is aiming a new kind of user profile; gamers. because, they believe they can expand their user base by catching their attention and make more profit from it. accordingly browser is becoming a shallow version of it's prime. this is sad, I can't make the calls, but I hope they keep some features optional or I have no choice but stop using Opera in near future. I'm using opera more than 10 years close to 15. I think you understand why I'm super angry...

edit typo

@leocg but, I'm not talking about a mail service. I'm talking about a built-in mail client. they are two different things. opera doesn't have to give mail services, they can just allow people to check their mails on opera with a built-in client!

it signed me off from the sync!

it signed me off from everything! WTF!

@kriegs böyle bir sorun olmaması lazım. google hesabınızdan çıkış yapıp bir kere daha giriş yapın ve opera bilgileri kaydetmeyi sorduğunda onaylayın. ayrıca google'da beni hatırla kutusunu seçmeyi unutmayın.

eğer sorun devam ediyorsa problem kullandığınız eklentilerden kaynaklanıyor olabilir.

@kriegs kullanıcı adını bütün kayıtlı kullanıcı adı ve şifreleri dışarı aktarıp, bit metin düzenleyicide koda e-devlet kullanıcı adını elle yazıp, yeni dosyayı tekrar opera'ya aktarıp yapabilirsiniz. ben de aynı şeyi yaşadım bu şekilde düzelttim.

bunun için ilk önce adres çubuğuna opera://flags yazıp experiments sayfasına gitmeniz gerek.

ardından Password import ya da #PasswordImport'u aktfi hale getirmeniz gerek.

bunu yaptıktan sonra opera'yı yeniden başlatıp opera://settings/passwords sayfasına gidin.

dışarı aktarmak için üç nokta alt alta ikonuna tıklamanız gerek

sonra .csv dosyasını açıp elle değiştirmeniz lazım. bu dosyada bilgiler site adı,site adresi,kullanıcı adı,şifre şeklinde yazıyor. sizin de şöyle bir satır görmeniz gerek; giris.turkiye.gov.tr,https://giris.turkiye.gov.tr/Giris/,,şifreniz şifrenizin önündeki iki virgülün arasında TC kimlik numaranızı yazıp kaydederek tekrar opera'ya aktarırsanız hallolur.

diğer kullanıcı adını da bu şekilde elle girebilirsiniz sanırım. denemedim bilemiyorum.

parola girmeden açmayı denediniz mi? olmuyorsa opera kullanıcı şifrenizi sıfılayın.

@leocg why do you think it's a mistake?

@pavelopdev I still keep switching between vivaldi, opera, and firefox from time to time. still not settled with the one for life hehe

@leocg I know I can hide it. thanks...

@pavelopdev I believe opera can be the best browser for sure. I don't know the agenda of the developers, but as a user who has a lot of things to do with the browser I really need something like a Swiss army knife. hop that would be opera to evolve that in the future?!

@leocg it would be the coolest thing to have it on the sidarbar tho!?
