I agree. I'm glad to know that I'm not the only one who is annoyed by this. I find the side bar to be very annoying on other web pages, but really like having it on the speed dial.

I hope you as moderator are interested in making Opera better. So, why not?

Agreed. You need to search menu to access sidebar, bookmarks, settings or choose to lose a part of your screen by enabling always on sidebar.
Worst update ever.

The sidebar is not hidden when opening pages. Please return this function!

skoy21 last edited byWhat he means is that it used to be visible on speed dial, but hidden while browsing pages, which made sense...
I open a new tab and I have the side panel if I want to go to my favorites or my history etc, or simply go browse a page. When I browse a page, I no longer need the side options...
So, I am up for the same... Keep the sidebar on the settings/new tab/speeddial etc, but hide it from actual pages

I second this, it's really obnoxious to have the side bar take up screen real estate when I'm browsing, but considering that I WANT to access that sort of thing on my speed dial (and since they made the icons minuscule) there's plenty of room for it there. -

Totally agree. Please return the ability to show side panel ONLY on speed-dial screen.

weirdtuned last edited byThis update is the one of most annoying ones so far. I've always been kind of neutral about changes in Opera and addition or exclusion of various features, but this time it directly impacts the experience from using the browser. The first rule for any software that deals with visual content is "do not obstruct the view of the content".
Side Bar is a very useful thing and allows for easy access to the majority of settings, nice bookmarks page, extensions, etc., but having it intrusively sticking from the left of the screen takes up space and makes it look clunky overall. It creates half a frame for viewing any content and draws too much attention to it.
Using the Side Bar in the Speed Dial was a good alternative to using the convoluted drop-down menu from the Opera symbol in the top-right corner, but now you have only two options: either get a distracting half a frame of side bar and navigation bar, or deal with the absence of it and resort to using a rather inconvenient drop-down menu.
Whew, sorry for the abundance of words - had to spill it out. -
nunya last edited byYeah, add another user to the list.
I want that stuff on my home page. I don't want it interfering with my web browsing. -

Speed dial change was the reason I registered on this forum. May be that was Opera's secret plan to increase the community activity?

Same for me.
