      I have 4:3 screen (5:4 actually), I miss sidepanel too, incl possibility to open/close it by just mouseclick at screen left side. I'm using it (on truOpera of course) not often, but for these few cases it is extremely handy.

      Ability to draw into sidepanel from extensions would be very welcome addition too.

        Switched to Opera 2x today. Miss the sidepanel real bad. The bookmark bar tries, but it just isn't a replacement. Aside from not having as much room, it keeps covering the screen when you open a folder.

        By all means, put in the option to disable it, but having a collapsible sidepanel was one of my favorite features.

          I need a sidepanel with Notes and others from O12.

          [mod edit: insult removed; stop that or you'll get banned!]

          I use 2 or 3 16:10 monitors and this feature is very useful to me.
          I will to plan changing to the other browser if this situation doesn't changes.
          On this time I STILL use O12.17 and don't want see the newest version.

          Sorry for my eng.

              Extensions are your friend, @ozoratsubasa.

                @christoph142, please stay on topic. I've seen some movement on chromium-discuss, it looks like some people are interested in a sidepanel for extensions solution. It would be great. Can Opera devs take a look and eventually help?

                and other, which was marked as a duplicate:

                  +notes

                  ++notes

                  +bookmarks in side panels (maybe)

                  +++notes

                  (by the way, not related to this topic, but +password wizard button like opera not chrome)

                        I made an extension for vertical tabs, now it's waiting for a review.

                              And the option to remove top tab bar (which is a bit confusing when we have tabs in a sidebar)

                                If someone wants more sophisticated tree tab manager there is Sidewise plugin for Chrome. I patched it to work with Opera's sidebar. May be glitchy but it works for me. You can download it from my Dropbox. Diff file is included in archive.

                                  Can you send patched version to the author? I think he will take those few minutes and will post it here on official extensions page.
                                  Opera will get more and more popular when sidebar lands to regular release 🙂

                                    I already did that. My patch is pretty dirty, I hope author will make proper changes to support Opera browser.

                                      But when you install that extension in firefox the tab bar hides automatically, because it becomes unnecessary. Opera must make the users able to hide it in Opera too.

                                        We can't interfere with Sidebar size, at least not yet... I hope they implement 2 options; width state for each extension and auto-hide. Anyway it's a really good start 🙂
