Since millions of people are moving away from Whatsapp, many of which migrate to Signal, would you please review this feature once again, please? It would be great to have it integrated into Opera, like Whatsapp is.

We already have WhatsApp in the sidebar, but we doesn't have Signal and this is sad

I don't think this is an Opera issue Signal - the company/app doesn't have a browser-based version of the service. You must install a desktop app.

Yes! Please add Signal to the side bar. I have it as desktop version, but an integrationin Opera would be way more convenient since Whatsapp is there as well.

Also would like to add my voice here: I really love the side-bar, and the support for different messengers is just superb. Please add signal and telegram

A bump and a vote for Signal. It's a great messenger and getting more and more popular as people migrate away from Meta products.

yep, signal needs a sidebar shortcut.
telegram is ok, but i lost all my chats a couple of times, and I receive no support , tbh. So I want to start to use Signal instead, and opera should consider adding to sidebar.

The issue seems to be that Opera the browser can only have a sidebar link to a web- based app, as it is a browser, and Signal doesn't support that, rather Signal does have a Windows app, which can be installed, if one has a phone-based account, already. The next question I suppose is how to add a link to a Windows app? But I don't think that Opera does that, allows placing a link to a Windows app, only to web pages, essentially. No? So this thread becomes mute, no? Aside from a popularity measure of Signal vs. other messenger apps that are represented as available to the sidebar.
Hm, what about Google Messages? No idea if that is available as a "web app." Yes, it is! Where is Google Messages then? Not saying that it is anything akin to Signal with respect to privacy, but it does both SMS/MMS and encrypted RCS, allowing RCS with Samsung Messages (assuming both have it enabled), and being compatible with SMS/MMS, it communicates with most devices/open messenger apps, aside from the "user-only" type, like Signal, WhatsApp, Telegram, on and on.
