      WHY??? Was there something wrong with the way it was???? This is not an acceptable change. Not at all. You know.... "if it ain't broke, don't fix it". Seriously, this is crazy having to do an extra step to see your favorites list. Sorry for the rant but dang it, this is just plain wrong.

        You can still use Ctrl + Shift + B to access Bookmarks directly.

          @violetphoenix Thanks for the tip. But I have decided that it is what it is and I can't change it so I will learn to live with it. But I still think it was an unnecessary change.

            Wow, that does suck I really like it the other way and why can't we have a choice about this?

              @graywoulf I guess they are just trying to turn the sidebar in what the sidebar in old Opera Presto was and, therefore, following a request by many users.

                @wmtyrance Some people are asking for it. For now you can disable the flag but it's a temporary solution.

                  @leocg That old style must have been a long. long time ago. I don't remember it. What do you mean by disable the flag?

                    @graywoulf Last Opera with it was Opera 12, the last Opera Presto.

                      @graywoulf opera://flags/#bookmarks-panel, but remember that it's a flags and it can go away at any time.

                        @leocg Thank you, disabling it through the flag works for now. 🙂

                          @graywoulf Agree totally. Suddenly all my bookmarks are not so easy to find. Another major "dis-improvement" from Opera.

                            Suddenly managed to, retrieve bookmarks.
                            I now have 3 irritating small tiles on my start page. I clicked the tiny symbol above the first one and lo and behold I was able to click bookmarks.

                            Now I'd like to remove these annoying tiles and return to the previous method of viewing bookmarks.

                              I have been loyal to Opera since before version 12 and I have to say that this beyond annoying, it is totally unnecessary. So it was done because a vocal minority asked for it? Fine but give us a choice to revert to the proper way of doing things in the settings and not just impose this on us.

                                  @graywoulf I agree Agreed this should have always been an option. You just don't appease some with making it this way to all. I will never understand why some Developers don't understand this. Make this happen Opera we all are fans too.

                                    @TarotRedhand Goto the URL opera://flags/#bookmarks-panel and disable it.

                                    For history, goto the URL opera://flags/#history-panel and disable it.

                                      I agree absolutely these constant updates that only complicate using this browser are extremely annoying. There's no option to turn off updates and this last one is a step backwards as far as I am concerned. I'm looking for an alternative browser.

                                        So that's another shortcut I've got to memorise just to be able to do what I could do before with just one click. There should be options to avoid this and also there should be an option to not receive these annoying constant updates

                                          I agree completely but it seems to me that Opera don't give the user choices when they want to change things

                                            Managed to get rid of mini tiles and access bookmarks in a reliable manner- or so it would seem unless Opera has some more non improvements on the way.
                                            Access text bookmarks, then scroll to the bottom of the list and click on blue text "show full bookmarks bar" . This was not showing yesterday so maybe Opera has listened - it's so much quicker to find a picture bookmark than wade through tests.
