@treego Because they wanted to.

Thank you for that insight, Opera Forums moderator.

I agree! Keep the Tab Menu, please! It's ingenious! It's especially helpful in FullScreen Mode!

I prefer Opera over other browsers for the following reasons:
-seems lighter on resources and a bit more responsive/quick than even Chrome, Firefox, and Vivaldi
-best tab preview of any browser - I can check on the tab/page's content simply by hovering over the tab
-full-screen is truly full-screen and allows me access to both open tabs and closed tabs very nicely via Ctrl-M; I can also access Facebook Messenger easily while in full-screen mode by Ctrl-Shift-M.
-keyboard shortcuts for extensions work in full-screen mode perfectly (unlike Vivaldi); Firefox has no keyboard shortcuts for extensions
-does not tap-out my laptop battery as quickly as other browsers
-Instant Search (Alt-Space) works terrifically and is a great way to access bookmarks even in full-screen mode
-customizable keyboard shortcuts (not quite as good as Vivaldi in this respect, but still very good)
-built-in snapshot (Ctrl-Shift-5) is very nice
-speed dial is better and snappier than other browsers
-Personal News integration with AI news/categories is innovative and creative and intriguing
-Facebook Messenger in the pinned sidebar is very nice; I like it better than Vivaldi's implementation. Other browsers simply don't have it. (request: Twitter in this sidebar would be heavenly!)
-address bar input seems to predict what I am looking for better than other browsers
-it is more appealing to the eyes than other browsers. I like the bright wallpapers in Light mode very much.
-MyFlow with Opera Touch on phone is excellent
-neat little features other browsers do not have like tap on tab to take you to top of page/tap again to take you back to where you were on the page
-neat little features like mouse gestures that work and don't overwhelm with too many choices
-the best tab management of any browser I've found to be able to simply go back and forth between two tabs quickly and easily. I use Ctrl-tab for this.
-built-in ad-blocking capability (I assume this is more resource efficient than relying on extensions for this)
-neat little features other browsers do not have like the ability to close a tab with Alt-mouseclick
-neat little features other browsers do not have like the ability to select multiple tabs and then right-click them to copy all their page addresses (URL's)
-neat little features like the ability to select multiple tabs and then right-click them to save them all to a Speed Dial folder

@LORDQ It was removed.

Yeah ... oh, boy ... he knows that already ... the question in the title of the thread is "Why?"

I really like Opera on the desktop. It's my preferred browser. I have an iPhone and would really like to try out this new mobile browser that is only available on Android at the moment.

From what I read here and elsewhere, OperaMini is a total failure from insufferable/inappropriate images and unwanted and non-customizable newsfeeds.

I want to be an Opera-fan on mobile, too.

Any updates or news about its availability will be appreciated. Thank you in advance.

The lack of transparency or forthrightness about this is rather stunning. I would think Opera would have someone dedicated to responding to these things or other issues/complaints in a direct manner if public relations and retaining users means something. Opera could hire me if they wanted to for these sorts of things. I like the browser on Windows very much, and would be willing to help Opera and its users come to a meeting point where confusion or disappointment could be alleviated or explained in an honest and understanding manner.

@elvanos said in Opera 68.0.3609.0 developer update:

I heavily dislike the removal of the Tab menu and its substitution.
If this function is confusing for people, please add it via advanced options for power users.

I heartily agree!
Please hear our plea!
The Tab Menu is necessary!
I ask this sincerely!
Let this feature be!

@dunjineer You can turn off Facebook Messenger in the sidebar. Right-click on the Sidebar and click on it to disable it. The sidebar is very flexible in terms of what you want enabled or disabled -- at the bottom of the sidebar is an icon to click to do all sorts of adjusting of the sidebar to suit your fancy.

You can also hide the sidebar altogether and you should be fine that way, too.

Peace, sir or ma'am!

@leocg said in Opera 68 is here with built-in Instagram in the sidebar:

@alexs And you do that often enough to justify having the list of closed tabs that close?

If he/she took the time to post about it here, it is quite obvious that he/she thinks that list is important ... can we be nice?

When people express their opinion about Instant Search being removed and the Tabs Menu being removed and how much they miss it, it is something that is significant to them. Otherwise, they would not bother posting here.

Pressing people as though such removals of features should not be important to them at all is counter-friendly and hardly helps Opera's image here in Opera Forums.

That's my 2 cents ... carry on!

@leocg said in Opera 68 is here with built-in Instagram in the sidebar:

@treego I undestarnd that it's something important for the person, I'm just trying to find out why. For me, having a list of recently close tabs - and not all closed tabs - may be useful but I don't see a reason for having it in a one click menu.

OK, that's fine ... your replies sometimes seem curt and unwilling to see the poster's point of view as being valid.

If Opera had the feature in the first place, Opera must have had a reason for it.

It would be nice if Opera would explain why they are removing features that others have found helpful and useful, sometimes.

@max1c said in Opera 91.0.4516.20 Stable update:

When are you guys going to fix this: ?

Why is this ugly icon still there? I uploaded an image and the icon never updates. Is this a bug?

I like it!

Thank you, Kornelia Mielczarczyk and Opera !!!

@burnout426 said in Opera 91 Stable:

@treego Oh, so Gmail is no longer registered.

Goto https://mail.google.com/, hit ctrl + shift + j (or use Opera's menu) to load the error console and enter the following:

navigator.registerProtocolHandler("mailto", "https://mail.google.com/mail/?extsrc=mailto&url=%s", "Gmail");

Then, on the Gmail page, you'll see the prompt asking for Gmail to be the handler. Allow it.

Then, go back to opera://settings/handlers and make sure Gmail is now there.

I did all of that as you instructed @burnout426 and it works great again!

Thank you once again for your help!

You da' man!

@burnout426 said in Opera 91 Stable:

opera://settings/handlers

This is all I see here for that setting:

It seems that this release of Opera 91 Stable has messed up the mailto: protocol handler for GMail here on my Chromebook/Linux installation.

When I click on mailto: links now in Opera 91, another browser (Brave) opens up and summarily opens up a Gmail compose window.

I have checked the protocol handler setting in Opera and it is set properly to "Allow" GMail to handle such links -- so this seems to be a regression that needs to be corrected.

@burnout426 said in Opera 91 Stable:

@treego I can confirm the issue on Linux Mint and see that the JS error that breaks the site has to with with Dart as mentioned. I can also confirm that the error is not there in other Chromium-based browsers on Linux (and Opera on Windows), and that the site works fine in them (content loads when clicking the 63). Filed bug DNA-101951 to see if anything can be done on Opera's end since it used to work in Opera and still works in other Chromium-based browsers.

Thank you, @burnout426 !!! You are a big help here in the forum !!! Very much appreciated!

@zho24 said in Opera 91 Stable:

@treego: Better to contact the site owner to fix this. At a glance, it's more of their issue with Dart, the language they use for the site: https://github.com/dart-lang/sdk/issues/46373

63red.com loads fine on my Chromebook/Linux with these browsers, though: Vivaldi, Brave, and Chrome.

https://63red.com/ still does not load in this version of Opera 91 ... it has been this way since Opera 88 was introduced. I am using the Desktop version of Opera 91 here on Linux on a Chromebook.

Thank you, Opera Team !!!

https://63red.com/ still does not load in this version of Opera 90 ... it has been this way since Opera 88 was introduced. I am using the Desktop version of Opera 90 here on Linux on a Chromebook.
