      Looks like Opera revamped the sidebar.
      Something changed in Opera, I'll have to look into it and see if I can accommodate it.
      I have no idea whats the problem but I'll try to look into it.

          Thanks iron2000 it would be much appreciated when you get time. I have gone back to an earlier version of Opera in the meantime.

            @kechristen - thanks for that as this has solved the problem for "Bookmarks by the Side" as well!

            "kechristen about 17 hours ago
            Go to:

            opera://flags/#sidebar-extensions-in-browser-sidebar

            and select Disable for sidebar extensions in browser sidebar.

            V7 tabs should now behave as it did in previous Opera versions."

              Great that theres a flag to revert back to the old sidebar.

              Took a look at the new sidebar and it seems restrictive.
              The "window.close()" method I use to close the sidebar doesn't work with the new implementation.
              Setting the tab to focus on bookmark left-click (and therefore closing sidebar) doesn't work too.
              Though it seems like that behavior is hard-coded by Opera on middle-click.
              Whether the new sidebar predicatively close or stay is up to the pin up top right.
              Its all restricted and I can't seem to get my way with how the new sidebar behave.

                  I was very happy with "Bookmarks by the Side" until the update to Opera 66 a few days ago. I used "Bookmarks by the Side" as a very thin column, only showing the web site's icons (like it was possible with early opera installations). This doesn't work any longer. Now there is a minimum width of about 1/5 of the screen on my 14'-Laptop. - Please do reset this minimum width!

                      @guenterw: The solution provided in https://forums.opera.com/post/195641 solved the problem. (At least for now ....?)

                        Any way to change background color? Don't really like the grey one 🙂

                          According to this post https://forums.opera.com/topic/42456/opera-stable-70-news they removed the #sidebar-extensions-in-browser-sidebar flag in the latest update. So as far as I understand it's now impossible for this extension to work properly on the latest build of Opera.

                          If anyone has a solution please share it with us.

                            After removing the flag opera://flags/#sidebar-extensions-in-browser-sidebar in Opera 70, Bookmarks By the Side does not work any more. That's sad, because the native Opera's sidebar is unusable -- it's too wide and occupies too much space on the screen.

                              Why would you need a flag? If it is in Settings then there is no flag.

                                That's really sad!! Totally agree that native Opera's sidebar is unusable.
                                Really no workaround? Half a year ago there was a similar situation and this here did help: https://forums.opera.com/post/195641 .

                                (Haven't restarted to Opera 70 by now; don't wanna know ... 😉 ).

                                  @sgunhouse: Where exactly is it in Settings? I could not find it.

                                    User @l33t4opera is looking into the issue with this extension, but other sidebar extensions are fine so it isn't the removal of the flag that is the issue.

                                      @sgunhouse Of course the removal of the flag is the issue, because it was the only workaround for a fundamental flaw that was never fixed at the root, the high minimum width of the sidebar.

                                        Not related. File a feature request or bug report, depending on whether you think the developers consider it a bug. (If they don't consider it a bug, then obviously a bug report would be ignored.)

                                        I wouldn't mind it narrower myself, but I don't work for Opera and thus have no influence on their decisions..

                                          I would just like my bookmarks open in a left-hand side panel and stay there if I desire. I do hope they sort something otherwise I will just go back to Firefox
