Note that as a workaround for now, you can add sites to the sidebar yourself.

Note that Chromium has a few command-line switches that you can try to see if they work in Opera too for now (since it's based on Chromium).

With Opera closed, you can open a command prompt and launch Opera like this:
"%localappdata%\Programs\Opera\opera.exe" --no-proxy-server
to tell it to ignore the system proxy.

Or, see the other proxy switches to set a specific proxy.

You don't have to do it in a command prompt. You can create a new shortcut to opera.exe named "Opera Custom Proxy" and modify it's target command in its properties to set the specific proxy you want to use. You can search the net for Chrome/Chromium examples.

How ridiculous that there's no setting for this! I'm also troubled by this.

PWAs should be a basic feature by 2025. The solution shouldn't be to use another browser, but to implement it in Opera.

@mvbaslios There are no customization options for that.

The feature to right-click and sort a dropdown list on a website is not available in Opera because the content and order of these lists are controlled by the website's HTML code, not the browser. The browser displays the list exactly as the web developer defined it. The only way to get this functionality is if the website itself provides a sort button, or by manually organizing browser-controlled lists like Bookmarks and Speed Dials.

Opera GX supports Xbox controllers for web-based games via the Gamepad API. However, it currently lacks native support for using the controller to navigate the browser's user interface (tabs, sidebar, address bar, etc.). To use the controller for full UI control, you must rely on third-party workarounds, most effectively by adding Opera GX as a Non-Steam Game and using Steam's Controller Configuration tools to map the gamepad buttons to keyboard and mouse commands.
Ctrl + Tab and split screen

The issue is that when you switch away from a Split Screen view using Ctrl + Tab, the browser does not recognize the split group as the "most recently used" tab element, so pressing Ctrl + Tab again fails to cycle back to it. This appears to be a bug or oversight in the feature's implementation. The current workaround is to manually click the combined tab header or the associated Tab Island to return to the split view.

Yes, this should be allowed and a must ask feature as well.
Allow to put speed dials anywhere on the screen

The suggestion to allow free placement of Speed Dial tiles anywhere on the screen (like app icons on iOS/Android) is not currently possible, as Opera GX uses a fixed grid layout (rows and columns). This feature would greatly enhance the aesthetic and functional customization of the browser. While you wait for a potential developer update, you can currently only customize the number of columns, the alignment (Left/Right/Auto), and use folders to organize the existing grid.

Currently, there is no built-in option to move the Opera sidebar from the left to the right, despite this being a highly requested feature by the community, especially due to conflicts with left-aligned web application UIs (like those found in WordPress). The best available workaround is to enable the "Automatically hide the sidebar" setting (found in Easy Setup/Settings), which ensures the sidebar disappears when not actively in use, minimizing interference with web page elements.

@leocg I'll never understand why great features get dropped. Opera has been my default browser since Version 1 (really) and while great things have been added, some really useful things have disappeared.
(Probably my favorite "only in Opera" feature was the toggle between "Show all Graphics" > "Show only Cached Graphics" > "Show NO Graphics". The Internet was SLOW back then, but this feature would still be priceless for (1) mobile browsing with slow data or a limited data plan and (2) browsing services like Facebook that are totally choked with meaningless graphic glut. (In both cases, the name of the image appeared and clicking on it would show it.) I would use that feature daily if I had it.)
