There are a lot smaller and faster browsers.

But another approach would be: if this feature (VPN) is not used for, let say, 10 days, to put as dissapeared. This would give the feeling as smart behaviour.

This feature should be treated as an extension, so when it's disable the icon vanishes. Hope Opera comes up with a solution to this issue.

I see ... can be added such an option? I mean, this icon is not needed to be there, and it is not when you install a fresh Opera ...
