      It has been almost four months since the Opera team asked users for suggestions on how to improve the enhanced address bar. But so far, nothing new has been added to it.

        @kened It looks worse than in the time when it was was first re-implemented.
        Personally, I disabled this feature and begin forgetting about its existence because I lost a hope to see something valuable or useful.
        I can't understand what's the problem there, but I believe the feature will be deprecated (for the second time, taking into account the previous version of enhanced address bar) sooner than we'll see significant improvements. And they'll say again that their telemetry shows unpopularity of this feature.

          @andrew84: I really hope they don't do that. I use this feature all the time. I stopped using Opera GX as the default browser just because it doesn't have this feature yet.

            @kened Ok,
            Unfortunatelly, in its current view the feature is useless for me.
            I don't need top sites, the sites I visit often are on my speed dial page and recently closed tabs I can see in SearchTabs popup.
            I'd like to see quick action buttons (copy, paste, paste & go and other) but they continue ignoring suggestions (including ability to show/hide top sites section)
            *And in addition the current 'centered' items layout on the BABE irritates me.

              @andrew84: Access to the speed dial would be essential for me.

                @leocg, did you ban @pavelopdev from the forum because he disagrees with you?

                            Amazon links started crashing Opera here. I don't think it's the Google code doing it because clicking links off Google's cache immediately crash Opera too.

                            Can someone verify?

                            Opera also forgets which tabs it's supposed to have open .

                              @davidgould That link didn't cause a crash here.

                                @davidgould Answering whether it opens in my environment is pointless (btw. it opens). What you use for Opera? Be more sincere and open asking such questions. I use Debian, what @leocg is working with it's his secret too.

                                P.S. @kened. Thanks.

                                  Hi @andrew84: , thank you for suggestions 🙂 Sidebar use to be a feature enabled (or disabled) a quite rare by users and probably it's not a good idea to enlarge the context menu with it. It's also available from two places now - EasySetup and Settings.

                                    @andrew84: If this will be implemented, then we also should add an option to rearrange it with drag'n'drop on sidebar. Thank you, we will discuss this

                                      I don't know how necessary it is because other things rearrangement (extensions, workspaces, user custom sites) already work only in sidebar setup without the drag'n'drop on sidebar itself.

                                        Maybe, but I'm not sure.
                                        Otherwise there wouldn't be a quick switch (toggle button) on the sidebar in Opera in the past (and additionally in both EasySetup and Settings)

                                          Suggestion

                                          I love how Safari's Developer Mode breaks down the resources and elements for you. They even categorize them. Is there anyway we can incorporate this into Opera's Developer Mode?

                                          Example of the Mac version:

                                          Screen Shot 2021-04-16 at 1.53.08 PM.png

                                          It breaks it all down for you so you don't have to guess what is what reading that huge HTML code that Opera gives you when you click Developer>View Source

                                          Screen Shot 2021-04-16 at 1.53.19 PM.png
                                          It's just Apple has ruined Safari and made it unusable so I prefer to use Opera on my Mac for a smoother experience.
