If you don't see Bluesky etc. in the sidebar setup, goto the URL opera://extensions, turn on developer mode, click "update", goto the URL opera://about, check for updates, wait a minute and restart Opera.

It would be awesome if the custom site panels feature in opera://flags because a first-class citizen in Opera. Also, either way, it currently has an limit of 5 sites. That limit should be increased per DNA-120562.

If you look through the feature requests for Opera, you'll see that some users desire Snapchat in the sidebar too. And, for non-messengers, there are wishes for Deepseek, Copilot and Gemini.

Bring in the GX items to Opera One and vice versa. This whole "different sidebar items for different browsers" is just ridiculous. Why force your users to use two different browsers depending on features?
