      We’re integrating new apps into Opera’s sidebar after reviewing our community requests, and testing them in the Developer stream of the browser.

        It's great to have more options. I still wonder why Opera doesn't allow to add custom sites to the sidebar like Vivaldi or Edge do. It would be a great option, as there also some other sites that were great to have in the sidebar, actually.

          Opera actually has this. Just activate it from the flags. 🙂

              @erdinc53 Yes, it worked. I added two custom sites to the sidebar.
              But my questions remains: Why don't they enable this by default? Or offer the choice at least in the installation process?

              Unfortunately, it's not as handy as in Vivaldi or in Edge, where you can move the shortcuts to another position.

              Nevertheless, thank you very much.

                @Himmelsheriff you're welcome. This is an experimental feature. Will be active in the future.

                    Unfortunately, my posts in this thread were downvoted by a spammer for no reason. I can't post anymore. Please help!

                      Because it's still in development and, as an experiment, can be dropped at any time.
