      @rudrick i am sure, this is something being considered. seeing how elements from concept browser neon have been integrated, merging sidebars and/or adding additional options such as move it to main bar, have it as drop down menue etc, i assume, are being considered as well.

      You think you know, but you have no idea.

        It probably comes down to... agreement they have with FB, VK etc - as Opera have been heavily pushing monetization across clients. The messengers have exclusive access to Reborn sidebar as well as web panel.

        But users want to be able to use addons on sidebar as well as web panels without restrictions.

          @rudrick yes! totally agreeing on web panels for common use! was just trying to get the updated version from github, but it says it couldn't load it properly due to manifest missing?
          i use vivaldi as well and i really like the web panel feature there (somehow FBmessenger+whatsapp web panels are not functioning properly there for me), it is a neat and functional addition for sidebar using and i would love to see that in opera browser in the (hopefully near) future ^_^

          You think you know, but you have no idea.

                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.

                    @acidinmyfridge Yes, vivaldi's webpanel feature is cool.
                    And your'e not the only one who cant use messenger within a webpanel in vivaldi, it's a common glitch

                        dropped vivaldi like a hot potato yesterday. not happy can't install opera addons, can't install chrono download manager, worthless sidebar for history, web panels are fine if you haver a server.

                          @chuchkyschild you can install opera add-ons, just change the file from .nex to .crx and load/drop add-on in dev mod.

                          http://techdows.com/2016/10/install-opera-extensions-vivaldi-browser.html

                          and i tried installing chrono download manager. it installs without any issues for me.

                              What do you mean by updates? If and when it's implemented, we will see the announcement on the blog.

                                a year ago the devs said that they "have the sidebars "on table""

                                  What didn't mean that they were working on it but just discussing the subject.

                                  And even if they were working on it, priorities can change.

                                    Hmm, actually, FF is resolving some issues in relation as we speak (so that another set of extensions not needed for splitted / paneled side). 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.

                                        About? If and when they decide to do it, we will know when we get the release with it.

                                          I hope they will do so, i visually cant look at the Extension Bar ontop of the Sidebar. This would be also good because the Community could add more Extensions for Chat Systems or similar.

                                            I like the two sidebars. 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.
