@leocg sorry for lashing out at you like that, I'm just very tired of Opera ruining the things I like every few months with no option to opt out of those updates.

@naheed My understanding is that with recent update this command was removed but pls correct me if I´m wrong.

You can't merge now - the flag is gone.
I've been using vertical tabs for years. The Vertical Tabs extension in Opera. The extension sidebar has to be visible all the time with my browser tabs.
The issue is not the merging though, but the pinned sidebar pane (with the extension content) occupying so much space vertically, from the top to bottom. The main browser pane along with the URL and favorities bars are much shorter now. It just doesn't make much sense. Not useful.
There should be an option for this behavior. -
1breton last edited byIt seems that Opera's developers are trying to become the most "hateful" browser possible (too many users on Opera?), FVD Speed Dial no longer has the right to work properly, now this choice for extension icons that is really annoying when they are no longer displayed on the top of the page.
Opera's choices have been really disappointing lately, I always wanted to come back to Opera, but I think now I'll be able to forget that idea...
Too bad, it was an excellent browser though, decisions, as usual it's trying to get a community that we don't listen to, I hope this will be heard by the devs, but as "listening" doesn't exist anymore in 2020...

@naheed Yeah, great advice, especially if I still want to display bookmarks on the side and Opera made sure to make this possible Only through the sidebar. Which they then made unusable.
Genious! -

Anyway, I'm just done with this browser and its delusional team that doesn't know how to design an interface. Moved to Vivaldi, set it up in 15 minutes and am happy with it. Bonus points - it doesn't even autoupdate, because it doesn't take itself so all-important as Opera does.

For my part, I also left Opera and I went on Brave Browser, rather nice a little more greedy in ram compared to others, but it has good assets, ergonomic and especially the addons works well!
