[Suggestion]Sidebar extensions above Opera tools

I'd like to suggest that the extensions for the sidebar appear above the Opera tools, rather than at the bottom, to make them more accessible.
We need to redesign this to make it more accessible, faster, and more user-friendly.
For example, the Notes extension is currently way down, above the three dots.

@Mlipka I think this change to the sidebar extensions is important because I find it inconvenient to have to scroll all the way to the bottom corner of the browser to open them, and sometimes I even forget I have extensions down there. Also, since I don't use the history settings and other options that much, they could be located further down because hardly anyone opens them anyway.
Another thing they should change is the Instagram logo, which is currently round, to a square one like on mobile phones so it stands out more.
And I have a question: why can't Opera convert web pages into apps to have them as shortcuts in the taskbar?

Thanks for all the details. I’m gathering ideas from users, but I can’t promise they will be implemented, as it depends on many factors.
And I have a question: why can't Opera convert web pages into apps to have them as shortcuts in the taskbar?I’m not sure if I fully understand your question, since the taskbar is part of the operating system.
We do have a way to convert websites into apps on the sidebar.

@Mlipka I'm referring to how it works in Google Chrome, where there's a setting that says "install webpage as an application," and you can do that with any type of page to have it pinned to the taskbar and as a shortcut on the desktop without having to put the link in the search engine. I've included images of what I mean, and it would be great to have it in the Opera browser.
