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.

acidinmyfridge last edited by@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.
bookmarks
downloads
extensions
help - about opera belongs here

@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 -

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

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

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

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.

djplaya last edited byI 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.

A merge is an absolute necessity.
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 deleteSo, 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.
