This seems like a reasonable suggestion. I suggest also allowing the Bookmarks Bar to go along the sides for similar reasons.

Open the Bookmarks from the Menu, then when you look at the Bookmarks Bar (on the left) and open it you will see all your current folders (the ones that show on the Bar). Right click on any of those to get a context menu, that will allow you to create a new folder

Found my own work-around, that's working in V32 (my work install doesn't update automatically, presumably a network issue).
Go the website using the speed-dial link, click the heart and choose a new picture. It will update the speed-dial accordingly. Would still be nice to just right-click and edit, but at least there is a way around without deleting all of them and starting again.

Thank you, you made my day. 🙂

Opera's ad-blocker uses Easylist's list so I guess you can contact them and ask to add promoted twitters to it.

Agreed and I would like to see Opera restore/open startup pages/tabs if one selects File>New Window. As it is now one has to close Opera and reopen it to get saved pages/tabs to reload.
Suggestion: Quick way to go to the top of the page...

Interesting idea.
First I thought you were lazy to hit PageUp though.

Lol...
But yeah, this feature is gold, I became so addicted to this, it's so intuitive and useful and now it's so hard to use a browser without it, but I have faith in Opera team and I hope they'll like/implement this feature...

Fingers crossed right now... 🙂

"Hello! Please go into the options of Opera and Search:

Open a specific page or set of pages

and add your sites. :happy:"

This is not what he's looking for. He's looking for persistent PINNED tabs, as am I. The fact that Opera does not have this inherently is pretty awful. All other major browsers offer this functionality. This is the feature that is keeping me from making Opera my primary browser as I refuse to manually re-pin six tabs every time I launch Opera.

BTW, first post mentions Windows 7 as the mostly used OS, so it looks like this option is for old OSes.
But its not!
I use Windows 10 with crystal clear old-school fonts and I need this option on this LATEST Microsoft OS.

If indeed smooth scrolling is giving you motion sickness than I bet you don't use mobile phones because of that...

Position the cursor a tiny bit above the link above the first letter you want to select. Then, drag down and to the right. It's obviously not as easy as it was in old Opera, but you kind of get used to it.
