Weird is that the player feature is already enabled by default in flags, but the sidebar 'custom sites' feature (announced a long time ago ) is still disabled and there are no entries in the recent changelogs regarding the feature improvements.
I still have a suggestion to implement some predefined custom site/panel (let's name it 'Instant Search' as an alternative to the removed InstantSearch feature) that will allow to select search engines and perform a quick search. Similarly like it works in Edge, but with the choice of search engines (like it works in right click context menu 'Search with >', add one more entry 'Search in panel with' + search engine choice in the panel itself like the music sites choice in the upper left corner in the player)
*and yes, compare how do context menu look in Edge (tiny border + white backgroung) and in Opera (bold/blurry borders + light gray background in contrast to the unified toolbar popups which are white with tiny border). You should unify menus/context menus and bookmarks bar dropdowns too.

From time to time I'm experiencing the issue and Opera just doesn't start.
I can see a single entry in Windows task manager and until I 'end' the task Opera won't start.
I saw a thread on Opera forum regarding the same issue but I can't find the topic anymore. -

l33t4opera last edited by@andrew84 I checked it, and unfortunately it seems it's not enabled (or not implemented) in the dev UI for now. Otherwise, it can be disabled (disallowed) for some reasons for the time being. Perhaps someone from Opera can drop few words on this one.

@andrew84 This can be fast crashing issue, it tries to recover but there's already locked process from previous session, and therefore it will not be able to restart until it's still active.

@andrew84 Usually the topics should not be removed without some explanations (in my opinion even if they break the rules).
Maybe you can ask one of global moderators, what was the problem with it, and why it was removed "silently". -

@l33t4opera Maybe there's some log file to see the details?
If I don't mistake, this happens after Opera was closed normally (with X closing button). Also, I have this in Opera Dev, but users on forum had it in Stable also (latest version as it seems), I use 69 currently and I have no issues. -

@l33t4opera maybe they (Opera) disabled the flag (feature) completely in favor of their own Player feature

giacomorutili last edited bycould you improve the sidebar by pinning some website? For istance, Gmail, Gcalendar, Gtask, Gtranslate could be useful to pin in the sidebar, so they are indipendent from the workspace (i use it often so i need to open it quickly)

@leocg If I don't mistake, the custom sites were implemented even earlier than the Search Tabs feature. They also managed to introduce another one feature - EasyFiles.
Probably they just dropped (temporarily I hope) development of the custom sites feature.
In overall, none of the features look finished (including the video pop-out which still doesn't look/work like it worked previously).
