[Sidebar Suggestions] Additional Sidebar Rows + Sidebar Icon Folders

I use a lot of different sidebar Icons. So many in fact, that I have to scroll a super long time to access the ones I need. I have two features to suggest which could drastically increase user convenience when you use a lot of Icons. I'll provide example images for what I mean but they probably won't be perfect
Suggestion 1: Sidebar Icon Folders.
If you have used Discord before and are in a lot of servers, you are probably aware that it comes in handy to make folders to sort your servers. Here is an example Image. The same thing would be useful for Sidebar icons as well. Additionally, folders for icons would mesh well with the ability to change the order of icons.Suggestion 2: Additional Sidebar Rows.
Another solution to having so many icons that you have to scroll down to see them all would be a setting to change the amount of sidebar rows. Here is a concept Image i made in google slides. Of course, an extra row of icons would definitely take up more space. A way to reduce the amount of space it takes up would be to also introduce the ability to change the size of icons. Making them smaller would both decrease the amount of necessary rows by making more icons fit in a single row as well as making each row thinner because the icons are smaller.Conclusion
By adding these suggestions together, the sidebar could reach a far greater level of optimization and efficiency. And with Opera GX being a browser intended for gamers, I believe that would be greatly appreciated. -

@deano-2007 And what would be those icons? Workspaces? Extensions?

@leocg By icons, I'm referring to all of the different buttons on the sidebar. I am not aware of any official term to call them by

@leocg Also how can i edit my post? I'd like to change my pictures to hyperlinks because i did not anticipate them to be that big and make it inconvenient to read. I'd like to make the edits myself if possible because i am rather particular about how my posts are formatted

@deano-2007 You can only edit your posts up to 30 minutes (or 1 hour, don't remember now) after the original creation time.

@leocg It took like an hour to be approved and I couldn't find the post while it was pending. Would It be alright if I told you the change to make and then you implemented it for me? I'll include the change in this message actually to reduce the delay since it takes both of us a while to reply.
could you hyperlink the folder example image over "make folders to sort your servers." and delete "Example Image:"?
and then for the second image could you change the colon to a period in "Here is a concept image I made in google slides:" and hyperlink my second row example image under "Here is a concept image I made in google slides." for me?
I know your probably pretty busy as a moderator but i'd really appreciate if you made those edits for me. Thanks in advance, @leocg!

@leocg That's not quite what i meant. the arrow was saying like turn this into that. for example if my original post had "apple" in it, me saying "apple" --> "orange" means changing the text that says "apple" into the text that means "orange"
