Sites panel is really useful. For now, only five are allowed. But is fine.

@burnout426: How it should work (what's the main idea), these 5 sites are just like bookmarks that open in side panel?
In this case the 5 sites limit is too small, but more than 5 sites will clutter the sidebar (5 workspaces limit is ok because each workspace can contain a lot of tabs).
When I first saw the 'custom site' flag I thought that it will be possible to open any site I want in this panel, and inside the panel I will be able to add few sites into my favorites. If in short, 1 panel that will contain links to favorite sites. Or there should be an option 'show in panel' in context menu when right clicking on page, for temporary view. -

I personally didn't expect that and just expected it to be like Opera 12 and Vivaldi's web panels where you add a single site as a web panel so you can use that site via the sidebar.
However, something like what you're expecting sounds cool. Sort of like a Browser View panel that has its own little address field and bookmarks or something. Its bookmarks could be tied to a bookmarks folder of your choosing for example. Or, it could be done a different way.

Vivaldi has "add link as a web panel" when you right-click a page. That's nice and Opera should have that too. it'd would be temporary though if done like Opera 12 and Vivaldi. You'd have to remove the panel after you're done using it.

Indeed. But, the sidebar is scrollable when things get too long, so I guess it'd be alright to allow more.

Yes, I thought that there's a plenty of extensions doing this, but I've found only 1 (web panel https://addons.opera.com/en/extensions/details/web-panel/). I'd like to see the similar in Opera by default because quite often extensions are outdated and not supported.

I described earlier(reported it many times btw, in both 68 and 69 threads, in 67 it worked better) that there's a 'flashbang' issue while starting the browser and when switching internal pages in dark mode (https://forums.opera.com/post/207279).
I also noticed that when I open bookmarks from start page there's again a full screen flash before page appearing, recently (most probably in 67 version) it worked smoother and I saw already loaded page, like it was shown here on the 'after' demo https://blogs.opera.com/desktop/2019/10/opera-65-0-3467-24-beta-update/
Probably these are 2 related issues because recently I also did not have the white 'flashbangs' while switching internal pages or on browser start.Please confirm somebody whether your SD tile opens with white flashbang before page is loaded or it opens like it was shown on demo.

The 69.x is in Beta status now. So we can expect a new version series next week.

Is it an intended that the draggable tab's thumbnail has not aligned left border and the caption's bottom corners are still rounded while the browser's tabs have square bottom corners now (like it was in version prior to reborn3), on all channels.
O58 vs 68/69

I know that the drag and drop feature for workspaces is disabled yet by default, just a suggestion:
When dragging a tab the workspace's icon should also react on thumbnail's left upper corner, not only on the cursor. Thumbnail's left and upper borders can be highlighted if 'Workspaces' feature is enabled in Settings (in this case the aligned left border like in O58 will look better too)
Currently when I grab a tab(in the middle) and try to drop it I need to move cursor until I see the '+' sign, thumbnail collapses in this case.
