Sidekick-like sidebar

@eparizzi Provide a screenshot/gif on how it works
[offtop] Something like this (sorry)
-
I'm just going to point out that the free version of the software only allows upto 5 apps in the sidebar.
-
I don't know why it says that on their pricing page. I've been using the free version for a month now and I have more than 5 sidebar apps.
-
I used sidekick for a few months in several devices and they started to show a message saying that ¨You have 16 apps, in free mode you can only have 5, etc, etc¨
So please vivaldi, allow that feature. -
@mib2berlin Yes there is the web panel but it is not that helpful. It logs out of the app everytime I close webpanel. It then just takes a whole lot of time to login which makes it more like a tab i.e. you will have to login(equivalent of opening a tab) whenever you want to use that app. The only convenience is that the url is already filled.
The login should be maintained atleast if not the full-screen feature.

Hi, it depends on the page you use, I use Vivaldi forum search and Google translate in a panel and I am logged in even I restart the system.
I guess you not meant remove when you write close a panel?
May be it is a cookie setting, I allow third party cookies for vivaldi.net, for example.Cheers, mib
EDIT: I add a chat page where I am logged out every time to accepted third party cookie list and now it stay logged in after restart Vivaldi. -
Sidekick look like Biscuit, Biscuit is free!
Biscuit is better.
Each app can have a separate cookie, and you can open link in app. -
@mib2berlin Thanks very much. Enabling third-party cookies did the trick. Now the apps remain logged-in even if I quit Vivaldi.
But some extensions don't work for webpanels. I can see lots of ads if I open the app from webpanel but none if I open it in a normal tab.
Is this a problem of the extension or the web panels? I use uBlock Origin for adblocking.

@risingstark
Extensions are not working in web panels, I am not sure about the internal add blocker.
Do you use it?Cheers, mib
EDIT: Hehe, I test tagesspiegel.de and have no adds in the web panel but some in a tab, strange. -
@mib2berlin I have set the internal ad-blocker to "Block Trackers and Ads".
I guess there was a separate thread regarding the extensions not working in web panels.
Wow!! Found many threads for the same issue.

The 1st link is my main concern here.
Also, if I don't use external extensions in Vivaldi and just use the internal ad block feature, I can still see some ads in regular tabs. The internal "Block Trackers and Ads" is not that good. Brave as a whole browser does a really good and so does the combination of these extensions 1. clear urls 2. HTTPS everywhere 3. Privacy Badger 4. uBlock Origin
I just wait eagerly and check like every week or so for the latest desktop snapshots to see if it has ALL of the features/issues fixed that bug me too much. I made a rant/post on the forum here and as soon as they get fixed/implemented, I am gonna switch to Vivaldi for eternity. Here's my rant and also have a Vivaldi note containing an exhaustive list of features/bugs that I want. Can't do anything better than wait. It is in these times that I hope Vivaldi was open-source and I would have put in a week or so and fulfil these requirements myself :(.

You can extend the internal with other lists from https://filterlists.com, there are 5 uBlock lists listed but it will never keep up with uBlock Origin. It is really a highly configurable tool. They need 7 years to get it there, the internal is >1 year young.
I am fine with the internal, I even accept adds for some pages, they have to pay bills.
There was a feature request about extensions for web panels but I don´t know how many user vote for it and how hard it is to implement this.Cheers, mib
