<![CDATA[Hide the sidebar permanently (prevent opera from adding apps)]]>Since few months ago, when I enter facebook or whatsapp from my pc, opera automatically adds respective sidebar-app and shows the sidebar that I don't use and have it disabled. It is quite annoying because each time you have to remove the app And hide the sidebar. I have searched for a solution but haven't found anything... is there a way to prevent opera from doing it?

I'm on Version:69.0.3686.95 and for every time it updates also and perhaps by the time I've written this a new update.
Well fancy that, on checking the version number it's updated to Version:70.0.3728.106 and guess what has popped back in, the Side Bar.
So to summarize, could this stop happening? This is on two separate machines and both have Side Bar disabled.

In all seriousness, provide the version # of Opera you are running so that maybe it will speed up resolving your issue. I am on version LVL 2 (core: 68.0.3618.206) and I haven't seen the sidebar in a long time...

I've lost count of the number of times that I have turned it off. Please do something.

Every time I enter a social network the sidebar appears, even if I deactivated it before, I don't want to use it and I have to keep deactivating it all the time! [Caps are not allowed]

In addition, the checkmarks for Facebook Messenger, Instagram and Whatsapp are setting themselves active. So, how can I deactivate the sidebar once and for all? I don't need it, I don't want it...

On the right hand side of the browser window is the easy setup menu (the one with 3 arrows) and it has a setting to hide the sidebar.SideBar.jpg

This seems to be one really contentious issue, I've seen a few who like the side bar but the majority hate it.
I hate it and wish it would just go away, every few days, pop, there it is again.
Doesn't sound like anyone is listening anyway. I thought a lot more of the Opera developers, shame.
