Opera, Windows, Software, Hide
...
I have added an option to hide title bar in Opera Launcher as several users want it [1, 2, 3, 4, 5].
To hide/unhide title bar, use Titlebar button! or create new keyboard shortcut/mouse gesture in application section with the following action.
Execute program, "C:\Program Files\Opera\OperaLauncher.exe", "/h"
! If your path to OperaLauncher.exe is different change it in toolbar configuration file after closing Opera.
If you minimize Opera and then switch to Opera, taskbar will hide.

CSS, User Style Sheets, Friend Request, Hide
...
A user style sheet is a text file with CSS declarations. It allows you to have control over the look and feel of website. It can be used to hide annoying things like ads, change fonts and colors, etc.
!important declaration should be added to a rule to take precedence over author style sheet.
User style sheets can be applied to all sites (restart required to apply style sheet) or per-site basis (reload required to apply style sheet).
Example 1: Hide friend request link in My Opera

My Opera friend request link in top bar
- Create a text file with the following and save preferably inside profile\styles directory with CSS file extension.
/* Friend request */
#friendrequest { display: none !important; }

CSS to hide friend request link and share this button
- Add path to CSS file in site preferences.

Path to CSS file in site preferences
- Reload page to apply style sheet.

Example 2: Hide sponsored links in Google

Useless Google sponsored links
Google sponsored links can't be blocked by content blocker but it can hidden by following CSS code.
/* Top sponsored links */
#tads { display: none !important; }
/* Side sponsored links */
#mbEnd { display: none !important; }
