@skoy21 That's exactly what I was saying to suggestions to switch to Vivaldi. Scroll this topic up, you will see my reaction. Unfortunately, Opera has left me no other choice. Yes, it will take a while getting used to the new interface, so it feels as comfortable as Opera's, but it's just a matter of time. I will waste no more of my time begging for something that should be provided as a matter of fact.
@avmon They sure did. The put instead that sorry substitution "Search in closed tabs," in which only three closed tabs are shown. I downloaded Vivaldi browser. It seems to have the same functionality and does have the Closed tabs button.
I simply don't the reason why they would shoot themselves in the foot like this.
Nothing that I could at to this, but only second it a countless number of times. I simply see not reason why such a useful feature could be taken off, unless it's some sort of a social experiment.
@rocketank First of all, I don't have this flag in my version of Opera. Second, what was the need to take out so a useful feature and then substitute it with a crippled version of it?
@Rogerb Go Vivaldi. It has over 20 recently closed tabs in the list. That's not counting other goodies. And let Opera "developers" stick their product in that place of their anatomy where the sun does not shine, if they don't want to listen to their users.
@ericartman92 It's just like a favorite pair of old shoes. You get so comfortable with them, that even when they are falling apart you don't want to get a new pair. But finally you cannot use them any longer and are forced to switch to new ones. At first they are indeed not as comfortable as the old pair. But, provided the new pair are quality shoes, you get used to them pretty fast and like them as much as the old pair.
Granted, Vivaldi has somewhat different layout, but as far as I can see it has the same functionality as Opera plus some more. And accessing this functionality is not much different that in Opera. But, of course, everyone has his/her own likes and dislikes, and what is alright for some is not alright for others and vice versa.

I think Opera has gotten even better with respect to recently closed tabs, honestly, over the past few version updates.
Until I got to this sentence I was willing to give the benefit of a doubt that this is some die hard Opera fan, but now I can see that this is just an Opera shill.
There are plenty of citations in this thread why the recent crutch of the closed tabs is not as convenient, as the old one was, and to state that it's an improvement is definitely shilling for Opera/
@ericartman92 This is exactly what I wanted to ask. For a while Opera seemed to quit doing stupid things, but it looks like they are at it again.
@ericartman92 I have hundreds of bookmarks and tens of speedial items. Bookmarks in opera are inconvenient to access. To have all the bookmarks on a speedial makes them much more convenient to use. Besides, it allows to categorize them in folders.
Vivaldi also has a Note feature, which Opera did away with sometime in Opera 12-15. It's where you select a text in a web page and copy it to notes.
The history is also much more extensive and more convenient to use.
And, of course, the closed tabs button is there. And the list is much longer than in Opera when they had it.
The only thing which it does not have it's a bookmark bar. But with the many speed-dials feature it's not that critical, although a bit less convenient.
Personally, I am switching to Vivaldi. For the time being I will be testing it, to see that it does not have some unacceptable flaws, and if it doesn't, it's farewell Opera.
@ericartman92 What I like about Vivaldi is that you can create additional speed dials. I think it's much more convenient than the favorites.
@superduper I was wrong about Vivaldi not having a bookmark bar. It does, it's just a bit tricky to put it on. I imported it from Opera and then opted to have it displayed. Voila! A bookmark bar in Vivaldi.
@skoy21 Look, people. Why get all worked up about it? Vivaldi has all the features and then some more. Moreover, it seems to work faster too. Opera seems to have become sluggish lately. I am switching to Vivaldi and will save myself some nerves.
@nicolleen Go Vivaldi. It has more than 20 recently closed tabs and a bunch of other goodies. It may take a little while to get used to, but it will be worth it. I am currently using Vivaldi alongside with Opera in the process of complete switching to it.
The only thing that Vivaldi does not not have it's the free VPN. But I personally practically do not use VPN in Opera anyway.
There is another flaw with Opera that Vivaldi fixes. Opera has some bug that won't let you do authentication on sites using social networks. Vivaldi does it without any problems.
Try it and see for yourself and tell "helpful" Opera developers to stick their product into that orifice of their anatomy where the sun does not shine, if they threat their users this way.
@treego Oh, really? And only three items in the list? And the list in the middle of the screen? Well, some people like pain.
@leocg
Yeah, right, let's start splitting hairs what are settings and what are flags.
In version 70, the #search-in-open-tabs is removed. Opened.
However, this one:
Savvy?

people could already have learned to deal with it
Sure, they have. I personally have switched to Vivaldi.

But, there is a solution. Update to Opera 71
Especially for graduates of the Midvale School for Gifted I repost my earlier post:
My Opera will not update to version 71, it says my version 70 is up to date.
Anyway, it's too little too late. I am already on my way to Vivaldi.
