Hi all I have a few questions, I'm looking to move from Vivaldi to Opera for stability reasons. Vivaldi can sometimes cause my entire windows OS to slow down to halt. (I know its Vivaldi because if I quit it then Windows becomes snappy responsive again instead of painfully slow - and I'm not near my RAM usage limit either when it happens)
is there anything superior - e.g. speed about opera's built in ad blocker vs an extension like ad guard? or is it essentially just an extension as well, so playing by the same rules?
how can I open web pages in the sidebar?

At the moment, you can't. In Opera developer builds, you can enable an experiment that allows users to add sites to the sidebar.

Hello.
Why is my Opera program icon on the bottom menu - red? I don't like it. How can I manage that?!

@narutikli64 Regarding the adblocker, I guess the best thing would be to test it for a few days.

There is an experimental feature that allows you to add sites to the sidebar.

does desktop opera version 73 include a vpn? a website I use has now required the use of a vpn for the news site I use. No Free vpn I tried works for various reasons I do not understand. does Opera's really work or am I locked out of the content provided by a specific website? as of now I need to use a different website to access the same news site. solutions please. I will try Opera to access the same news site and see what happens. it will be a yes or no. no other choices or fixes.

Is Opera safe and does it respect privacy and security like Brave and Firefox Does. I ask because it seems opera does not have a good reputation when it comes to privacy and security.

@powerdragonhd You can read Opera's privacy policy and take your own conclusion.
Regarding security, Opera is probably one of the most secure browsers.

@leocg Ok thank you for the response. Is this information still true with Opera the Company https://forums.opera.com/topic/37155/opera-browser-is-owned-by-a-chinese-company/10. and what I'm trying to say is Opera Just as safe as Brave and Firefox with you data and Privacy? sorry if the grammar does not make since I just did not know how to word that properly.

@powerdragonhd https://www.opera.com/about Yes, Opera is a Norwegian company and always will be, unless they close the company and open a new one somewhere else.
