Looks like Opera revamped the sidebar.
Something changed in Opera, I'll have to look into it and see if I can accommodate it.
I have no idea whats the problem but I'll try to look into it. -

Thanks iron2000 it would be much appreciated when you get time. I have gone back to an earlier version of Opera in the meantime.

@kechristen - thanks for that as this has solved the problem for "Bookmarks by the Side" as well!
"kechristen about 17 hours ago
Go to:opera://flags/#sidebar-extensions-in-browser-sidebar
and select Disable for sidebar extensions in browser sidebar.
V7 tabs should now behave as it did in previous Opera versions."

Great that theres a flag to revert back to the old sidebar.
Took a look at the new sidebar and it seems restrictive.
The "window.close()" method I use to close the sidebar doesn't work with the new implementation.
Setting the tab to focus on bookmark left-click (and therefore closing sidebar) doesn't work too.
Though it seems like that behavior is hard-coded by Opera on middle-click.
Whether the new sidebar predicatively close or stay is up to the pin up top right.
Its all restricted and I can't seem to get my way with how the new sidebar behave. -

I was very happy with "Bookmarks by the Side" until the update to Opera 66 a few days ago. I used "Bookmarks by the Side" as a very thin column, only showing the web site's icons (like it was possible with early opera installations). This doesn't work any longer. Now there is a minimum width of about 1/5 of the screen on my 14'-Laptop. - Please do reset this minimum width!

@guenterw: The solution provided in https://forums.opera.com/post/195641 solved the problem. (At least for now ....?)

According to this post https://forums.opera.com/topic/42456/opera-stable-70-news they removed the #sidebar-extensions-in-browser-sidebar flag in the latest update. So as far as I understand it's now impossible for this extension to work properly on the latest build of Opera.
If anyone has a solution please share it with us.

After removing the flag opera://flags/#sidebar-extensions-in-browser-sidebar in Opera 70, Bookmarks By the Side does not work any more. That's sad, because the native Opera's sidebar is unusable -- it's too wide and occupies too much space on the screen.

That's really sad!! Totally agree that native Opera's sidebar is unusable.
Really no workaround? Half a year ago there was a similar situation and this here did help: https://forums.opera.com/post/195641 .(Haven't restarted to Opera 70 by now; don't wanna know ...

User @l33t4opera is looking into the issue with this extension, but other sidebar extensions are fine so it isn't the removal of the flag that is the issue.

@sgunhouse Of course the removal of the flag is the issue, because it was the only workaround for a fundamental flaw that was never fixed at the root, the high minimum width of the sidebar.

Not related. File a feature request or bug report, depending on whether you think the developers consider it a bug. (If they don't consider it a bug, then obviously a bug report would be ignored.)
I wouldn't mind it narrower myself, but I don't work for Opera and thus have no influence on their decisions..

I would just like my bookmarks open in a left-hand side panel and stay there if I desire. I do hope they sort something otherwise I will just go back to Firefox
