Bookmarks by the Side

@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

Still working in 2026. I hate that Opera simply is not drag and drop - but at least I can arrange things how I want with drag-and-drop simplicity without wrestling the UI

Opera 132 breaks Bookmarks by the Side 2.1.5.

Root cause:
popup.html uses unclosed <command> tags.

Opera 132 no longer parses them correctly, causing several command elements to disappear from the DOM.

neat.js then crashes on:

if (el.tagName == 'COMMAND')

because el is null.

Fix:

popup.html; Close all <command> tags explicitly.
neat.js: Add a null check before accessing el.tagName.

Tested successfully on Opera 132.0.5905.11.

In the meanwhile, users can create un unpacked local version of the extension, correcting the 2 files as above and deleteing the "key:..." line in the manifest.json.

Many years ago, Opera became my default browser, solely on account of it having the superb sidebar extension, Bookmarks by the Side. At that earlier time, it served me without any fault whatsoever. In recent years, adding to or editing the navigation tree, needs to be done twice. The 1st entry always gets deleted. After Opera's recent update 132.0.5905.11, Bookmarks by the Side navigation tree does not display anything - its totally blank. Yes, when clicking on the bookmarks shortcut icon, a disorganized non-sorted listing of data is shown, that can never begin to assist me in my e-endeavors. At 77, any work around cannot be too challenging.
