It looks like the URL is opera://startpage/news but I can't for the life of me figure out how to set that as my start page. I think perhaps opera has removed the ability to set a start page (Grr). I've tried several extensions to no avail. If anyone knows a way to do this (i'm using Opera 45)

Thanks

I believe the correct tracker reference is DNAWIZ-61093.

You may need to enable "Show advanced settings"

have you found it? and if so, which section should i be looking under after enabling advanced setting:
basic / browser / websites / privacy & security

if you use Compiz you can add comand in windows decorator for example:

any && !(title=Opera) && !(title=Firefox) && !(title=VirtualBox)

Do you have this problem?

There are also some difficulties to see inactive tabs too.

It does not show images by default on Windows. I use the Ctrl+B shortcut to add pages to Speed Dial. The behaviour on Unix may be different.

There is currently no way to add open tabs to bookmarks without first saving them to Speed Dial and then moving them to bookmarks manually. I have seen several users request it, and I would like to see it too.

You are right. I just switched to arc-darker, a theme that is entirely dark and the problem of your images appears here as well.

Besides, I had to replace libffmpeg.so becuase youtube said, my Opera didn't support h.264, so I downloaded opera-ffmpeg-codecs-58.0.3029.81-1-x8664.pkg.tar.xz from repo.herecura.eu/herecura/x8664/... and now everything is all right!

Thank you so much for pointing that out! I am finally able to play h.264 videos with opera on my fedora machine!

If netflix requires widevine (package chromium-widevine) and not the usual chromium-codecs-ffmpeg-* ones, you are out of luck since ubuntu does not package chromium-widevine at all.

Since it is based on ubuntu, the solution (= installing chromium-codecs-ffmpeg and chromium-codecs-ffmpeg-extras) applies to that one too.
