      I really liked the old way to use sidebar (hide but still be able to use on speed dial) and I hope they fix this soon. But in order to keep using Opera, I had to improvise. So, I created bookmarks for every shortcut I use in the sidebar:

      Bookmarks > opera://bookmarks/
      Downloads > opera://downloads/
      Extensions > opera://extensions/
      History > opera://history/
      News > opera://news/
      And a few others...

      Every bookmark has it's own icon and you can put it on speed dial.

      Bookmarks:

      Speed Dial:

      I hope I have helped someone.

        Interesting alternative, however I agree that the sidebar should have never been removed from the speed dial. Its infuriating that Opera forces users to always have a sidebar that is completely useless while web browsing, but remove it in the one place that makes sense.

        I would also go as far as to advocate that turning on the sidebar after every update regardless of settings is not serviceable. I cannot count the amount of service calls I get about turning it off on the countless machines i've deployed Opera to.
