I completely agree with what jokant and lem posted. A notes feature is extremely important.
I will NOT use any extension that stores my notes on someone else's server. Ever.

first of all, tnx @bobogedac for mentioning my extension (I didn't pay him, I swear ツ)
I also answered you question about context menu in address bar on addon page (not possible)For those who don't see it, this is side bar extension, visible only in Developer and Beta (currently, until stable gets to v30). This applies to all other side bar extensions.
@jokant,
I haven't been satisfied with the Notes extensions for Opera. The Vivaldi browser seems to duplicate it in their native browser, and I should note, they have made progress in their browser (They are at their Technical Preview 3 stage), though they have a ways to go in some other areas before being comfortable for most to use).I tried to recreate Presto notes and behavior as much as I can in chromium environment (it wasn't easy), and I'm happy with it.
I done it without libraries and bunch of junk code with it, and with features that other notes extensions don't have (export to local hdd and import them in many ways, zoom...).
About sync...it would be a great feature but currently it's not possible in Opera to use chrome sync API. Opera doesn't support it. Or I'm not aware of it.
I must recreate whole sync feature on my own. I will try it, but currently there is no time for it (and it's not exactly peace of cake to do it)
There is one new notes extension that says it can sync, but I seriously doubt that. And don't know why developer didn't test it before.
If I'm wrong, I apologizing for criticizing, but it looks like false advertising.
from Opera developer page:
Features to come is insert note but only when this bug in Chromium gets fixed.
users can experience freezing with contexMenu creation
I've been dealing with this problem for long, and didn't want to implement it in notes so far, it would be lame.
You can see why, if you test extension from chromium bug pageAbout Vivaldi notes, it may sound like I'm trolling, but you can't organize them with Drag and drop, there is no fluid editing of notes (either click edit or double click, sometimes doesn't work). They kicked in images, url, date,(+) which only cluttered notes panel, and until last build, notes could crash whole browser very easily. Seems like it's fixed now, I didn't test it that much... and I didn't find export or save some sort of...
If you really liked and need old Presto notes (like I did, best feature no doubt), I suggest you install latest beta (latest developer build is very buggy and slow) and head to sidebar extensions section on addons page. Test notes extension and decide which one you like...there are couple of them.
My extensions are with V7 prefix ツ -

I have V7 in O29 with imported (by V7 import options) all O12 notes. Cool!

yea, I forgot to mention, it's possible to install it in stable (side bar extensions) after enabling flag, but UI is better in Beta, and some performance upgrade.

It sounds like unless I want to use Opera 30 beta, I can't use it. I tried to download on Opera 29, and it wouldn't let me.
I look forward to it though.

It's on my computer -- Opera 29 browser -- and when I right click I can make a note. But there's no icon for it on my icon bar, and I'm not sure how to display the note

I'm not using a beta. Just Opera 29. I have the O menu, and then my choices are Extension Manager, or Get Extensions. There's no choice for extension and then sidebar

side bar in stable is behind flag
opera://flags/#extension-sidebarI thought you enable it, when you wrote "I can make a note"... you can see sidebar extensions on opera addon page only with direct link

This extension looks very promising.
When is Opera version 30 expected? (rough estimate).

@vux777 or anyone else who knows.
Where in the profile for the V7 Notes extension are the notes stored in case I want to make a backup copy. I had to do a system restore (going back a couple of weeks) and it wasn't supposed to affect data added. However, I lost my notes in Opera from the V7 NOtes exetnsion. My scrapbook in Firefox was unaffected. I've re-done some of the Opera notes. So I'm wondering if I want to be safe with a backup copy, which file in the profile would I make a copy of. I don't see there a Notes file, or Notes.adr or anything like that.
