      I use the opera gx sidebar to open social media quite often, and have noted that if you have multiple opera gx windows open (across multiple monitors, for example), the sidebar window loads a new instance of the underlying website for each opera window, instead of using one that was already opened in another window.
      For most cases, this results in a slight bother where you have to wait the site to load again, but for others, such as whatsapp, it is more obnoxious as the site itself only allows for one instance of whatsapp web to be served per user, so if you try to open it across different windows, it gives you a dialog box to confirm that you want to use whatsapp in that tab instead.
      My suggestion is therefore to make so the side window share the same instance of the website across all windows.
