Thank you Lem729. Your directions were very clear and these extensions fixed everything that I think is wrong with the new Opera. I am once again a happy user because with these extensions giving the user control I can get work done!
again thany you very much.

Neo Opera is silky smooth and pretty. Other than that it is useless to me because the native bookmarks are atrocious. I won't bother installing extensions etc. I keep trying it once and a while to see what progress is being made. Overall it's a joke.
The Vivaldi project is already vastly better in terms of layout. All people who liked Olde Opera bookmarks should try Vivaldi. It is in nascent form and far from finished but the company is active in development and engaged with users; they solicit feedback and suggestions.

Why trash Opera? If you're happy with another browser, why try to stir up trouble here and recruit Opera users for some other browser?

Vivaldi is still piece of crap and have no match for old Opera. Still no browsers have no match for old Opera (except speed of course and some website compatibility). Vivaldi is still some pre-alfa product without features and with ugly design. Even if I dont like new Opera I have to admit that Vivaldi is useless.

Why they just don't do what IE Firefox does put the bookmarks in the top right corner with drop down menu to see them what's so hard about that.
Or has opera made this possible now as I have not used opera for a while so don't know about the latest versions I stopped using opera because I couldn't access my bookmarks easily like I can in firefox. -

You can access bookmarks from the Opera menu. You can also enable a bookmarks toolbar if you like. There is also a sidebar for extensions in the development release. There are extensions that you can add to that which allow you to access bookmarks.

If your cursor is on the right side, it makes accessing your bookmarks simple. You can always if your cursor is elsewhere, or any time you want, access your bookmarks through the native Opera setup also. What Chrookmarks gives you (or some other bookmarks manager extension) is an "option" to access your bookmarks easily when your cursor is on the right side of the browser. Now I have already mentioned how it does a lot better than the Opera bookmarks setup in my earlier post. My point here is that it is useful just for its ability to give easy access to your bookmarks when one's cursor is on the right side of browser without even considering its other advantages.

It's a real bad thing that you have only one level to store the bookmarks. Another bad thing is, you have to save attachments before you can open them.

I don't understand what you mean. Opera's bookmark system has folders, so theres not only one level.

Thats a matter of opinion. Generally its a good idea to let your systems scanners have a look at a file before you try and open it. That said, I have my files set to auto-save in the same folder every time and just double click the pop up the appears when they finish and it opens.

They are working on adding a tree view for bookmarks (you can see an early/buggy version of it in opera:flags), so the one level thing shouldn't be a limitation in the future.
As lando mentioned above, you aren't limited to storing bookmarks in one level, it does let you create as many subfolders as you want, the only limitation is only being able to view one level from the sidebar on the bookmarks manager and heart menu which they are working on a tree view for.

Keep in mind that this thread is somewhat dated. I don't think Opera 29 was available when the OP posted that (but I could be mistaken, but considering the thread...)

The Productivity extensions have several bookmark managers.
Hope that can help..

As a longtime and happy Opera user I don't understand how something as essential as favorites (or, in this case, bookmarks) can be hidden like they are in Opera 29. It almost looks like it was deliberately done; or is this just bad design? I use bookmarks every single time I am on the Internet, and in my opinion this "where the heck are the dang bookmarks" system has no future. I have already uninstalled Opera 29 and 30 and when Opera 12 stops functioning (it has already started to), it's bye-bye Opera and Hello Internet Explorer or Hello Firefox.

So, the heart icon next to the address bar is too hidden for you? Same deal with the bookmarks bar?

You wouldn't be French, would you...? Hmmm, looks like you're from Italy, but French people make exactly the same mistakes: "Explain me..." "Opera as improved Bookmarks"
Funny.

Because I was searching for something else but this post showed up and caught my interest. Maybe you have an answer to my previous comment, which was about the problem I was trying to find more information about.
