          Alternative solution:
          [Applies only to those who use Cmd + T to open new tabs]

          Instead of trying to replace new tab with other Extensions,
          just set the function of shortcut "Cmd + T" to enable Momentum extension (go to opera://settings/keyboardShortcuts), replacing the original function of opening the default speed dial.

          Simple. 🙂

            @maueze Thank you, much appreciated. Working now for me. This was a deal breaker if I couldn't have my own new tab/start page!

              Custom New Tab Page and New Tab Start Page stopped working in the latest Opera (65.0.3467.62). Can anyone confirm this? Any workaround?

                Here's the solution: open "opera://flags" and disable "Shared Start Page".

                    Thanks so much, that was a scary few hours without the new tab page 🙂

                        @Spaldo Now you need to enable "Shared Start Page" 🙂 But there's another minor bug: new tab lose focus in favor of previous one, the author said it will be fixed in v. 25.1

                              Just managed to get Ultidash https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/ultidash-new-tab/dghaelfeofkkdebndhkfoneojddiebhd (like Momentum but totally free! And 90% of the good features included) to work on Opera thanks to this thread! Super chuffed.

                              Installed https://addons.opera.com/es/extensions/details/install-chrome-extensions/ and https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/new-tab-start-page/mjfahldkpjhcnfbbmdhpjolcjpcfhcpj and then went right-click copy link address on the greeting refresh button that appears under the greeting when you hover on it on the Ultidash tab. Put that link in as my new tab page, and it works! So I managed to get a url redirect for the new tab page from a new tab plugin that puts no url in the address bar. This may work for other Chrome new tab plugins with a refresh button!

                                I found a tiny workaround for this problem. Remember the Chrome extension thing for Opera? Install the extension (like Momentum or something) and pin it on top. When you click the icon, it creates a new tab, with the extension as new tab. Sweet! It is bad for lazy peeps because you have to click on the extension button on the top-right corner instead of the regular plus. You'll just have to get used to it, that's all.
