Opera's "VPN" isn't even a VPN. It's a proxy, and only works for browsing. Either the poster is just overthinking, it's a coincidence, or something else. It can't be the "VPN" though.

My question is, "why do extensions not work on the Opera sidebar?" Specifically, using the Discord sidebar addon, any themes I have (using Stylus) are not present. Any scripts I have used with Tampermonkey are not present.

Then, in some of the sidebar additions, such as one where you can bookmark tabs or just browse the internet on the side, it shows (website) ads, which means Opera's ad-blocker isn't working on it either.

So, does this mean that extensions don't work with Opera's sidebar additions? And if so, why not?

I agree. I dislike having to change it manually via the color picker tool / advanced coloring options. Just one button would make it much, much easier.

Creating a new topic for user @Feson21, I have something to add along to his sidebar suggestions.

For starters, I'll list his three suggestions first.
#1: Instead of showing the name for the stream, display the game played and the amount of viewers.
#2: Give us the ability to order streams. Whether that be by amount of viewers, current game being played, and streams you're subscribed to appearing at the top.
#3: Removing the follower details and making our channel name and profile picture smaller.

Now, for my suggestion:
#4: Adding "Last Live" and stream time information.
For example, if I just woke up, I'd like to see when the last stream from, say, Jake, was. That way, I'd know if I missed a stream, or he just hasn't streamed that day. The same thing goes if I wake up and see, say, Jordan, streaming. If he's streamed for 8 hours already, what's the point of watching now? He might end his stream soon, plus all of the jokes and everything that previously happened would go over my head.

Thank you for taking the time to read my suggestions. And thank you to @Feson21 for giving me the courage to post this. I wasn't going to, but their post didn't get any attention (only 3 viewers) and I decided to bring it back.

@Rixxxy I think I found the problem.

When you go into the Opera Settings, like I had, there's a whole WebRTC area. (https://i.imgur.com/FQLU9xN.gif)
For me, at least, this setting was set to Disable non-proxied UDP. (https://i.imgur.com/ex4mr7U.png)

Switching this to the recommended setting or anything else should solve your problem after closing Opera GX and re-opening it, at least for me. If this didn't help you, then I'm very sorry.
(I actually had the same problem and tried fixing it myself, since nobody else has been a help.)
