Even with Developer tools enabled I can't see anything useful...
Also, I have noticed the background/theme picture is now much darker. But only on the speed-dial/start page. The image is its usual vivid self when on the settings page.

Or, even better, to remove them completely. Any help appreciated. Tom

We're talking about the Navbar (the one which has back/forward arrows, address/search bar) not the start page thing.

That is called the toolbar.

Something similar to Firefox, a panel where one can store the icons, move from the panel to the toolbar or from the toolbar to the panel.

I'll be checking out other browser options while the opera developers decide whether or not to continue to dictate what their users personal preferences should be.

In a perfect world, a user could drag their button bar to the Left, Right, or Bottom of the screen. It would also be nice to have the ability to rearrange the order of the buttons.

COme on Opera Devs, add this......... lol this is one of the things that seriously prevents me from using ChrOpera fulltime, and maybe some more stuff, but this is....!!!!!!

Never saw this thread. I thought I was the only one who finds this left side annoying. I mean, I am a righty, I hold the mouse in my right hand and everything in my mind is skewed to the right. But I am being forced to go way over there to get things done. Totally throws me off and is just too much work. Ditto for back buttons.

Thanks god for back gestures

Well, I like it on the left side, and he likes it on the right side. Do we really need more reasons?

On a ideal world, probably not. However we don't live in one.

We spend so much time to deal with RTL languages, but we can not move the sidebar to the right, or move the buttons on the toolbar.

I think there aren't many pros that one can point out.

Do I really need to point the PROs of having this feature?

Pointing the reasons for which a feature/option would be useful for most users and therefore should be added is always good.
