Reading List

I want to request a “Reading List” feature in Opera GX which is similar to what is offered by other popular browsers...
why should you implement it!?:
There were several forum discussions comparing a "Reading List" to Opera's "My Flow", but using My Flow or Bookmarks as a substitute is difficult.
A proper Reading List would be very important for the browser =Reasons:
Preserves an aim of "My Flow" My Flow is an ideal, privacy-friendly way to transfer data quickly between devices. But using it as a dumping ground for “Reading List” completely clutters the space and defeats the whole point.
Reading List is something you come to look back you can't just go see a thousands of Messages on Flow just because You want to read something that you read last year which name you don't remember
I personally have atleast 500 Websites on my Reading List on my Alt Browser, there are times when I go back to last year to see what I can read As I am bored from the latest trends of Reincarnation Manhwas/Manga/etc...Bookmarks Are Too Clunky for Content which I don't visit frequently
Feature Request: Introduce a Dedicated "Reading List" Feature
Description of the Suggestion:
I am requesting the addition of a dedicated "Reading List" feature in Opera and Opera GX, similar to what is currently available in other major browsers.Why it should be implemented:
While looking through the forums, I saw discussions comparing a "Reading List" to Opera's "My Flow," but relying on My Flow or Bookmarks as workarounds creates friction. Implementing a proper Reading List would be highly valuable for the browser's ecosystem for the following reasons:Preserves the Purpose of "My Flow": My Flow is a fantastic, privacy-friendly tool for quick sharing between devices. However, using it as a dump for "read-it-later" articles completely clutters the space and ruins its main purpose.
Bookmarks Are Too Clunky for Temporary Content: Expecting users to manage their daily, temporary reading materials using traditional Bookmarks is inefficient and leads to disorganized bookmark menus.
It Drives User Acquisition: I am currently trying to transition from Brave to Opera GX. While Opera GX's mods and customization options are incredible, the absence of a basic Reading List is a major roadblock. Adding this feature would remove a significant barrier for users looking to migrate from competitors.
Opera has evolved a lot over the last three years, but missing this core productivity tool forces users to look elsewhere. Adding a simple Reading List would instantly improve the daily browsing experience and help retain migrating users.
Thank you for considering this request!
My Version: what I wrote
As Far as I looked up here on the forums
I saw "Reading List" and "Flow" were getting compare and the post get closed after that...
Flow: as far as I remember it has been 3+ year since flow came and It is a type of messageing app for between Opera Browser to communicate.
It can be indeed useful indeed but If Lets say I put up all my "Reading List" into flow then what will happen is that I will mixed up my Reading List and Flow's main purpose
Right Now I am in a crossroad, I could just start using GX Again but Reading List will be gone And I don't think I can handle using Bookmarks for my Reading List, The Plus Point here is that Opera has Flow but unfortunatly not Reading List

@leocg First of all Sorry, I was really sad
Anyways I saw the Pinboard as of right now Its slow (well its in Beta what can I expect)
But it would better for it have a side icon/menu like discord, flow, etcI saw the shortcuts it only has for pining the website not opening the pin board directly
-In New Tab it has no option to open the Pinboard I would have to open another website then go into the Pin board (ie it would take 5 click that long a shortcut to open it will be good)Well anyways I will wait for the Development of the Pin board,
Also in the near future will my data i.e. "Reading List" be able to import like bookmarks from another browser?
I have like 600 Websites Marked/Saved there... in Reading List
Reading List was the only reason I went away from Opera...Thanks for replying to my previous Raging message...
