@Ontologicalshift Opera review team is slow, you can see the latest version already in Firefox and Google Chrome web store.

@Ontologicalshift

It is possible that you have reached the limit of chrome.storage.sync, which could be why your notes are not being saved. To resolve this issue, please enable the option to save notes locally in the Note Sidebar Options page. You can find this setting under the Advanced Options tab, in the section titled Storage.
Also, make sure you are using the latest version of the Note Sidebar browser extension: version 1.0.30.

Thanks,

@Hamzac That is Opera web browser limitation and not an extension issue. See these forum posts:

@DarylMeng2025
Open the Note Sidebar Options page -> in the Advanced Options you see the topic "Multiple Notes". Enable that checkbox and you see the multiple tabs to write your notes.

@draggondude1 That feature is already available to keep the lights always disabled unless you click the gray lamp button again. By default, this feature is disabled for new users. However, you can enable it in the Turn Off the Lights options and activate the Eye Protection profile. See this YouTube video tutorial:

@kubito iOS does not support Opera extensions. Please feedback Opera team.

@hevikOne Hi there, the icon is not visible in the top toolbar but is in the left toolbar, as mentioned in the screenshot. You can manually add it by clicking on the 3 dots icon in the bottom left toolbar. Scroll a bit down, and enable the toggle "Page Sidebar".

@fillip On the Opera add-on store, I can only place 3 screenshots. Opera web browser and Opera GT use the same User Interface. It is just different colors (Opera GT is a dark red user interface), but both have a side panel on the left side. They have the same 3 dot icon to change the sidebar buttons.

Thanks,
Stefan

@fillip The Note Sidebar icon is in Opera's left sidebar, not the extension toolbar at the top. If you do not see it, click on the left sidebar on the 3 dot icon. That will open the left side panel, and scroll down to the topic "Sidebar Extensions". Here you can enable the "Note Sidebar" to show in the left sidebar.

@exoplanet It is good you solved your problem. Thanks for sharing that.

@exoplanet Extensions are tools that enhance and extend the basic browser experience.

@exoplanet When you install the browser extension for the first time, it adds a lamp button that dims the entire page. If there's a video on the webpage, it brings the video to the top of the dark layer.

I (developer of Turn Off the Lights) believe in customizing the web to suit your preferences. On the Turn Off the Lights Options page, you can enable the Night Mode feature. Additionally, you can customize the lamp action to activate the Night Mode feature.

See this YouTube video tutorial (you see the Chrome web browser, but it is a browser extension that works on all web browsers):

@exoplanet What if you use the Open-Source Turn Off the Lights Browser extension? That includes the Night Mode option where you can choose the background and text color

Hi there,

I am updating my Opera extensions, Note Sidebar and Page Sidebar. However, I noticed that the API for changing the icon in the sidebar no longer works. Is this the correct API?

I use Opera: 116.0.5366.21
My Manifest V3 JavaScript code in the background script:

opr.sidebarAction.setIcon({ path: "/images/icon38white.png"}, function() {
            if (chrome.runtime.lastError) {
              console.error(chrome.runtime.lastError);
            } else {
              console.log('Icon changed successfully');
            }
});

Doc API: https://help.opera.com/en/extensions/sidebar-action-api/#method-seticon

In the Note Sidebar Options page, you can choose for a light or dark mode icon.

@angishy

Thank you for your feedback. Note Sidebar is a simple text editor (such as Notepad on Windows, and Text editor on Mac). In the Note Sidebar Options page, in the Advanced Options tab -> Type note. Here you can "Rich Text Format" and that can copy and paste with a different font. Enable this, and you copy this: (𝒞𝑜𝓅𝓎 𝒶𝓃𝒹 𝒫𝒶𝓈𝓉𝑒)

@krishanand There are many ways you can zoom in and out quickly. Additionally, there is a context menu and a shortcut key option in the Opera extension.
