Hello Opera community and Opera developers,

I just wanted to add my support - please add the discussed functionality: show the bookmark bar in new tab (only) like in Chrome.

Thanks!

But that way you'll need an extra click, isn't it?

Hmmm...
I prefer an auto-hide Bookmarks bar.

Not on a Mac.
I use Command + T to open a new tab. Not that difficult at all. Command + W to close a window if needed.

That way is good.

On Vivaldi you can Open the Bookmarks from a launcher with F2 / ⌘ E without the needed to open a new tab before.

Maybe Opera would use that idea in the future.

nothing, guys??? just add an option to show only in new tab page. I just changed to opera after years using chrome. when I want to visit a web site that I have in bookmarks, I open a new tab and click the bookmark. that way I don't need to take my hand off the mouse to type anything.

by the way, it gets visually polluted to leave the bookmark bar always active. (idk if I am typing correctly because english is not my primary language, but I think you got the idea)

please.

The bookmark bar takes up a bit of space and it being there always isn't necessary to everyday browsing.

An option to show only show the bookmark bar when it's on a new tab would be greatly appreciated.

Many other browsers (Firefox, Chrome, Edge, e.t.c.) have already implemented this feature and Opera users are missing out.

Dear developers, It's not a hard thing. It's 4 years since the first request. We need this feature if you care about your users!!!

Firefox, and even Edge, has this feature as well.
I understand it is not groundbreaking, but it sounds too simple to not implement. Especially since it does not conflict any other features.

This topic is one of the most viewed and replied to in suggestion and feature requests, but nobody cares.
I wonder, do opera developers read this?

@mashikha I'm obsessed with this feature, but it seems Opera devs have a chip on their shoulders.

I'm trying to get away from Google and this is one feature that I miss.

Actually it is a feature that I miss from Opera Presto
