well i am waiting for more than 2 years now.... actually for sync between 2 Opera desktop but anyway...

link is to the old forums and I don't manually install extensions from a random dropbox account

+1

I really miss the panel... I started to use opera because it was inovative and proposed different stuff than the others (like the "heart function" ) and it is sad to see stuff disapear and make opera more like chrome...

besides the above mentioned Bookmarks, Downloads, History, Info, I loved the notes where you could simply paste something you wanted to keep in mind for a while.

I also loved the old function of having the tabs on the side since nearly no web site used the entire width of a non smart phone screen.

I would even push to introduce the "tab goups" again (you could merge tabs together), but I would suggest you would have all your tabs of 1 group open on the top but you could switch between different groups of tabs in the panel (or the other way around). It would be kind of having different windwos open but you would be able to handle them through opera and don't have any problems of closing windows and loosing tabs

thx leocg, you actually made me keep opera!
