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.
