Download & Install Sidekick Browser for Windows 10 & 11

There are a lot of developers out on the internet working on the next great web browser. You have more generalist browsers like Chrome and Edge that most people use for browsing the internet.

But some people want browsers with more specific uses; specialized tools. Opera GX, for example, is great for gamers with its many video game tools and features. Brave is great for those who value privacy.

And now we have the likes of Sidekick, which has been specifically designed for enhancing productivity.

What is the Sidekick browser used for?

To be honest, the best way to think of Sidekick is to consider the work version of Opera GX. It’s a highly specialized web browser with a sidebar filled with easy access to productivity and messaging apps.

On the left-hand side, you will see the likes of Slack, Skype, and even WhatsApp. Sidekick also offers an Opera-like feature in Sessions which lets you save the tabs in groups.

That way you won’t lose your spot if you decide to open a new window. It even has a built-in search feature to browse through your tabs.

It should come as no surprise that Sidekick is built on the Chromium browser engine, just like Opera One. This guide will show you how to download Sidekick on Windows 11 and Windows 10.

Quick Tip:

If you prefer a robust and organized web app for organized workspaces, the sophisticated version of the Sidekick browser is Opera One. The difference is that Opera One has a built-in proxy VPN and ad-blocker.

You can establish user accounts and leverage Messenger, WhatsApp, Instagram feed, Telegram, and VK chat integrations, as well as a Video-Pop out for meetings and calls. You can also stay more organized with workspaces, tab islands and built-in AI

Opera One

Always up-to-date, stable, and organized workflow with built-in chats and Video Pop-out.

You pretty much use Sidekick as any old browser, but what’s unique about it is those sidebar easy-access apps. You click on any one of those messaging apps and you’re taken to a sign-in page.

Enter your credentials for that messaging app and you’re in. You use it like you would the desktop app. Sidekick also has an ad blocker to stop annoying advertisements on web pages.

Plus the browser has a CPU monitor and tab suspender so you can keep an eye on how much of the processor Sidekick uses. If one tab is using too much, you can suspend it.
