ChatGPT in Opera’s Right Sidebar / Side Panel

Hello,

I am using Opera on macOS and I would like to know whether it is possible to use the official ChatGPT website (chatgpt.com) inside a persistent side panel on the right side of the browser.

My goal is specifically to have something similar to Chrome's Side Panel:

• ChatGPT remains open while I browse other tabs.
• It uses my existing ChatGPT web session.
• The panel is displayed on the right side.
• Ideally, I would like to replace or customize the current Opera AI panel with ChatGPT.
• I do not want to use an API-based third-party chatbot; I want the actual chatgpt.com web interface.

I have already tested Chromium extensions using chrome.sidePanel, as well as extensions that embed ChatGPT in an iframe, but they do not work correctly in Opera.

Could you clarify:

1. Does Opera currently support chrome.sidePanel extensions?
2. Is there an Opera-specific API for creating a right-side web panel?
3. Can users replace or customize the Opera AI right panel?
4. Is there any supported way for an extension to load chatgpt.com in that panel?
5. If this is not currently possible, is this capability planned?

Thank you.
