Agreed! I miss the ability to access settings, extensions, downloads, etc from the sidebar in speed dial!

@leocg said in Side panel.:
Just unpin/hide it.
This reply is so low effort and so invalid, I am surprised it's coming from a moderator.
A function that was in by default, automated and served a legitimate purpose has been removed, and you are suggesting we recreate it's function manually, that's the text book definition of regression, downgrading.
If that's the case, why not just switch to Vivaldi altogether, if I have to manually fiddle w/ the side bar, I can do that and much more in Vivaldi.
All the missing features can also be implemented as addons/extensions, and at which point why use Opera?I have been using this browser for over a decade, I have always recommended it to everyone around me.
The main reason I have used it was it's customizability, ease-of-life / quality-of-life features and it's willingness to progress and innovate. It's a shame that the very user base that popularized it are being ignored.I wonder how many thousands of people are really annoyed at this change but won't say a thing about it and eventually just switch...
I have been test running Vivaldi for a while (since the sidebar change), I have few reasons to switch, but this sidebar thing is my tipping point, along w/ the attitude I am seeing by staff.

@Roverandom Same thing. But also - when you open a bookmarks in "incognito mode" they opens in normal mode. Who give them that "bright" ideas - I hate him!

I don`t wanna see side panel on any sites except start page. Can you add some feature for that?

Why I cannot see sidebar on the speed dial when I turn it off? It works very well before, I could really quickly hide notifications from my chats by turning it off during calls, but now the options to turn it off and turn it on is so hidden that it takes a while to do that... so many click, fix it please.

In earlier versions, when you turned off the sidebar, the start page would show its own sidebar. Its sidebar was implemented in code in the start page itself. Opera removed that start page sidebar code and hasn't said why. They also haven't said whether they're bringing it back or not. But, I hope they do.

@burnout426 It seems like people are talking about it already, so maybe we don't need two threads for the same thing. Thanks!

Your point being?
How are we supposed to let the developers know about user frustrations if not on these forums? In my view they are an excellent place for discussion and I'm sure that's why they were created. If the team are working on (in your view) 'more serious issues' then I'm sure they would appreciate knowing about other linked problems so they can be considered at the same time. Makes sense to me. -

@lonelyblade It was a bit of irony. I am sure devs are aware of this issue and they are intentionally ignoring it.

Hopefully a setting for putting the side bar only on the speed dial would be optional, not fixed. With the more recent versions of Opera, bookmarking no longer works from the heart symbol in the addressbar, and I need to use V7 Bookmarks in the sidebar.
