<![CDATA[[Implemented]Combine Sidebar + Extensions bar?]]>I've got some extensions in the sidebar, but they appear in a second bar, not in the main body sidebar. Is it possible to add this extensions to it?
It's quite annoying to have 2 sidebars in the same place, reminds me of that spam search bars from our relative's browsers...

Go to chrome://flags/#sidebar-extensions-in-browser-sidebar and turn it off.

I suggest to Opera developper team to make this optional, because this is a big lost for people that like editable sidebars.

There are some Extensions for other Services, but none of them work the same Way and do open a new Tab. Would which there could be an possibility for developers to integrate that.

It's so nice to use Opera but it's so ugly with two bars now.
Is there any other ways right now? Like.. just put the extensions bar to the bookmarks or some else?

I like to use two browser windows side by side, for practical reasons, often needing to consult one thing and processing it in another. I have come to love Opera (and dislike Firefox and Chrome) and the screen layout extension for two perfectly sized browser windows side by side is FANTASTIC.

Wasting horizontal space is bad enough for one vertical bar, that I have yet to really use or be convinced of that it is worth the loss in view screen width for me.

Now I just added uBlock Origin ... and now an I stuck with a secondary vertical bar for a single extension? I don't want that extra bar. Because now I have 4 bars taking up width space in my use scenario.

The left sidebar is half empty.
So, use the top half for whatever factory default stuff.
The lower half for extensions.

Tried to hide the extension icon, could not
Tried to move the extension bar, could not
Clicked on unpin the sidebar ... don't know where it went, it vanished ... was hoping to put it horizontally above or under the address bar ... UNPIN < > HIDE or delete

So, then I went to view options ... there they are.

PIN the sidebar can only be on the left and vertical ?!
SHOW the extension bar can only be on the left and vertical ?!

So it is either or. I can either regain the space ... but can't have the functions anywhere else on screen? That's just silly, really.

Please upgrade this so it can be horizontally on the top, if a user wants to maximize horizontal space on their screen and just have things organized the old fashioned way.

There is not much room on the main one for more extension buttons. If there were another place for buttons from extensions to be placed other than the main toolbar, that would be ideal. In Slimjet, buttons can be moved to the top of a menu launched from that toolbar so that fewer of them have to be on the toolbar.

This would be also good because the Community could add more Extensions for Chat Systems or similar.

Vivaldi sorted those long ago (structurally O and V differ).

If Opera doesn't want to combine the bars then make the old bar "modern" too. Place it on the right side? With auto-hover onn/off? Or hover in and out from Reborn sidebar? All I know that the ads are there~ but perhaps a merge is possible.

The concept that a browser can have two sidebars is ridiculous. Come on Opera. You can do better. Lay off the Virtual Reality nonsense and get back to basics.

agree one sidebar just with the icons to open the following full pages, and remove them and developer from the O dropdown menu. hate the way vavaldi has history setup. a side panel instead of a page. opera can learn from vavaldi how downloads are handled. if you have vavaldi set to ask where to save when you click to download an item vavaldi opens a nice looking download panel.
