Google Chrome UPDATE

I have a list of around 30 websites which I visit each morning.

Open them all at once in separate tabs

right click  on  whatever you call the top bar where the tabs, the + and the X appear- on the blue bit not a tab (or Ctrl + Shift + D) select "bookmark all tabs" and bookmark them into their own folder at the top of your bookmarks- call it morning.

Then figure out how to drag the morning folder to the left of the bookmarks bar.

Then right click your new folder and "open all in....."

If a mere 30 tabs makes your laptop fall over, do them in 3 blocks of 10.

@giraffe69 I'm using Chrome Version 123.0.6312.86 (Official Build) (64-bit)  Which says up to date.

When I type "chrome://flags/#side-panel", I see the following screenshot, nothing applies to the side panel.

I had wondered about splitting the boomarks into different folders, it would probably be easier than using as I am now.

It's so annoying when the side panel was showing several days ago, and due to an update has completely disappeared.  

Thanks for suggestions.

Click on "All Bookmarks" and then "Open side panel to see all bookmarks"

Thank you very much @Le_Kirk
That works!
Have tried almost everything to try and get the side panel to reappear.
Using your advice, I can now get a side panel to work on right-hand side.
The panel seems different to original one, is it possible to 'fix' the panel in a similar way to previous one?
I really appreciate your help.

If you place a folder in your bookmarks bar and copy all 30 URLs into the folder you can then right click the folder and select open all.  This will open all bookmarks in the folder in a couple of clicks.  You could split them up into smaller chunks by separating them into multiple folders if that suits you better.

Thanks @IvanOpinion
I've copied the urls into a folder, and decided to split into several folders.
Thanks for your advice.

Very wise. I find large numbers of tabs open at once confusing.

@libra10 just updated Chrome and if you open ALL BOOKMARKS there is still the option to "Open side panel to see all Bookmarks" then there is an option to pin that side panel to the toolbar, the icon that appears is now two overlapping stars.

Thank you @Ayr_Rage

Have managed to add side panel to toolbar.  It isn't the original version, but works at right-hand side of screen.  

Hoping when my Chrome version updates, the original side-panel will return.

Much appreciated
