Love it! The address bar bug was annoying, but since it was fixed in Opera Developer, I knew it was coming to Stable soon. Thanks!

Submerstep last edited byFirst of all, thank you for all the work the Opera team does. I have been using Opera since it was a paid service many, many years ago.
So please... when will the current bookmarks side panel be redesigned?
When will we move on from this:
· Look at all the wasted space where the search bar is.
· The search bar should be able to hide and appear automatically when clicking on a dedicated icon.
· "♡ Bookmarks" (above the search bar) and "Open full Bookmarks view" (at the bottom) both lead to the same location. "♡ Bookmarks" is unnecessary.
· There should be an option to remove web page addresses that appear to the right of bookmarks.
· Why don't we have separators yet?
· The distance between bookmarks should be a little more compact.
· The panel should be fixed instead of alternating between fixed and floating.
· The panel should expand and hide when the browser is maximized by clicking on the left side of the browser. Just like it was done in the old Opera (Presto engine).
· Please, remove the categories "Bookmarks bar", "Speed Dial" and "Other bookmarks" in the bookmarks panel. The different categories could be viewed and sorted from the "Full bookmarks view".To this (I forgot to compact the bookmarks):
Sincerely and with all the pain in my heart, the bookmarks side panel is horrible. It seems to be designed for tablets. As of today and although it has long been removed from the extensions page, I still use the "V7 bookmarks" extension by @vux777, which I find more productive and visually attractive.

@Submerstep I don't think that the Bookmarks Side Panel is horrible, but I do think it could use a lot of improvement (like your suggestions).

The native option to translate pages that exists in the developer version is not present in the stable version

@Daiivinbsb Probably because the feature is still in development.

I am a Linux user, specifically Ubuntu 22.04.5 Lts, and in particular I use the snap package.
Yesterday the Opera snap package was updated to 115, but today I wake up and see, that in snapcraft.io
https://snapcraft.io/opera , I see the following:
Options to install this snap
Show architectureamd64
Channel Version Published
latest/stable 115.0.5322.68 Yesterday
latest/edge 114.0.5282.235 TodayWhat I don't understand, is how the latest/edge is inferior to the latest/stable, and normally, when the stable version does not match the edge (from the stable branch), there is an update on the same day, that is, today, I would go back to 114, instead of staying with 115.
Someone knows what is happening with the snap version, because the .deb version does not say anywhere that this supposed 114.0.5282.235 exists. And I have seen the same on your website in desktop versions, maybe it is a phantom update, or there has been something wrong with the snap version 115, and now they are going to make a revert, back to 114, and in two or three days, back to 115. Since all the time I've been using snap, it is the first time you can see a revert in a stable version. In this case latest/edge, stable version.
I know that the main thing is windows, but this should have more control at least in Linux (Ubuntu, debian etc). It is not normal that .deb, says that 114.0.582.235, does not exist, and that snap says that it does, and that it is a stable version.

You're right. Now that I've reread my message it may have been misinterpreted or come across as a slight towards the development team.
it's not like that at all. I just wanted to imply that the bookmarks side panel has a tablet-oriented aesthetic and on PC it's unproductive compared to the "V7 Bookmarks" extension I mentioned.

Please, when the development team has time, try to improve the bookmarks side panel. It doesn't have to be an exact copy of the examples I've shown, but it does need a facelift.
I'm a huge fan of the bookmarks side panel and it's a shame to see how Opera improves the browser's aesthetics day by day but how something as important as the bookmarks side panel is left forgotten in time
Thanks to the entire Opera development team for your work

Versioning with Snapcraft is weird, I've been there myself as a developer.
Just use the latest stable version.Hi, I'm Best_codes! I'm a full-stack web dev who moderates on the makeblock forum. I have a website, https://bestcodes.dev. I love Opera, so I'm on here occasionally to report bugs and answer some questions.

@bestcodes: Thank you for your response. What I was referring to, I should have said, is that I always use the stable branch in snap for opera, (I don't have edge, developer or beta) and that's why I find it strange, in how they move in snapcraft.io to say when you hit the drop down for opera snap and underneath is the green install box and you get :
Show architecture
amd64
Channel Version Published
latest/stable 115.0.5322.68 Yesterday
latest/edge 114.0.5282.235 TodayI put you that the edge is lower than the stable one.
If I in the terminal (command console) of ubuntu 22.04.5 lts I put
snap info operaI get this:
latest/stable: 115.0.5322.68 2024-11-27 (346) 180MB -
latest/candidate: ↑
latest/beta: ↑
latest/edge: 114.0.5282.235 2024-11-28 (347) 177MB -
installed: 115.0.5322.68 (346) 180MB -what is in brackets is the version or revision as it can be that the edge has the 347 and is a lower version than the stable one. The worst thing will be, that a few hours, will tell me that I have a new version of opera snap, to update and I will skip the 114.0.5282.235 ie the edge, that if you see the arrows, for snapcraft and snap is already beta and is a candidate. I do not understand it should have been the other way around, that the edge that they say came out today, should have come out yesterday and the 115, today .... That's why I asked, if anyone knows what is going on if they compiled 115 wrong and that's why they are pulling it back, for to get this edge

@daria19: Thanks for your answer, it's the same thing I was saying to @bestcodes, I don't understand this mess of versions in the snap packaging for Opera.

Opera Desktop has 3 variants. Opera Stable, Opera Beta, and Opera Developer.'Edge' is just a term used in the snapstore for the snap versioning system (just like tons of other apps use 'Beta', 'Alpha', etc.), so just ignore it and use the latest stable version if that's what you use.

@BestCodes Thanks for the clarification, but I just looked at Ubuntuupdates (The deb package part), for opera-stable and see what they have put:
Most recent updates in Opera PPA (Stable)
Date Package Version
2024-11-28 12:08:17 UTC opera-stable 114.0.5282.235
2024-11-27 13:08:29 UTC opera-stable 115.0.5322.68
2024-11-25 11:08:24 UTC opera-developer 116.0.5362.0
2024-11-21 13:08:19 UTC opera-stable 114.0.5282.222
2024-11-19 13:08:18 UTC opera-developer 116.0.5356.0do you see any sense in them?
I can understand snapcraft, it goes a bit over your head, but to .deb. A few hours ago .deb, just said there was a stable for Opera, now it's the same as Snap.... Anyway. At the moment I did not jump, I had Opera snap-stable update, but seeing the .deb, I would not be surprised that jumped soon and went from 115 to 114 for this update.
And if I use the stable version of opera in snap:
opera 115.0.5322.68 346 latest/stable opera-software✓ -
There you have it taken from the command terminal when you put snap list --all
Who understands it I don't.
