Opera Software You all know that I don't particularly like Opera. I find the product to be lacking polish, over-complicated and without the marketing pizazz that has made Firefox a household name. That's just my personal opinion, and that opinion has garnered many complaints of unjustness. To that end, to present a fairer discussion I would like to put a simple question to the community: "What should Opera do?".

I am sorry but that's not what I want and is quite different than what I want. What I want is what I have said above. It is different then using a separate window. If Opera wants web dominance, they better do what users want. I am pretty sure I am not the only one that would like the feature described above...no ifs and no buts and no but you can do it this way....

Hit Shift+F4 and the Bookmark panel should pop out of the left side of the screen. And then you are good to manipulate the book marks as you please.

It reads as if you like a lot of mouse navigating. I would suggest setting up the panels to pop out when you click on the left or right side of your screen. I think the default panel button is tab bar, but I setup the side click instead. You really should give it a try. It's not a separate window.

I think you could take advantage of the Notes panel as well. While I browse, I like to write notes about the different ideas that pop into my head. And then the ideas are right next to my bookmarks.

Also I think you might be able to take advantage of the duplicate tab option. Duplicate a tab and have the tab's whole history right there. I use this right now because osnews doesn't display your comment when I am writing a reply. Firefox hasn't copied this feature yet.

Doesn't the (Show Parent) thing work for you?

Firefox hasn't copied this feature yet.

I'd prefer it if Opera copied the Firefox way instead: middle-click on the back button.

F4 works to open the side panels. The shift is unnecessary.
