Not sure if it's the same thing others are reporting, but Tuesday all of a sudden the Speed Dial disappeared on opening it, only showing the background. After closing Opera, the program then wouldn't start. With a reboot (Win 10), it was back to normal. But then at the next cold start, it happened again and multiple restarts didn't fix it. I had to kill MBAM and do a system restore to early Tuesday to get things back to normal. It's holding so far. The only thing that had changed during the day was a Windows Defender security update.

@rastanz According to the various Reddit discussions it's a broken internal extension, which should be receiving a silent update to fix this. I don't really have any further details.

@shintoplasm01: Since doing a system restore last night, I've been occasionally getting extension error notices, at first from Opera and then other programs, but I can't find what they refer to, or what they refer to appears to be set up correctly.

Okay, I found out why my Speed Dial wasn't loading, the Speed Dial folder reset itself and deleted the contents when installing or updating my extensions and even when installing live wallpaper themes the Speed Dial would default back to empty and all my tiles would be moved to the 'Other Bookmarks' folder section under 'DESKTOP-46P963L'.
If your Speed Dial folder is empty then Opera is most likely searching for your tiles in the folder tree in the case of where mine were moved too in the 'Imported / Other Bookmarks ' section which is probably why it took ages to load or didn't load at all.
I had to copy all my tiles back into the Default Speed Dial folder so that they would load as normal and upon doing so my Opera Speed Dial page was back to it's fast loading speed.
Anyone having slow loading or experiencing an empty Speed Dial page should look into it as it may solve your issue as it did mine... for now.

@rastanz: Windows was/is up to date when this all broke out. During the day there was a Defender update and a NET update, but apparently they weren't taken out by the restore, since the NET update hasn't reappeared (I check twice a day because of security updates). The underlying question is did the NET update cause the SD problem, or did Opera send an unannounced update, or do something else that triggered it in some other way. I see your work around, but other than checking an extension when there's an error, I haven't had any SD problems since.

Since release v74.0.3911.218 Opera shows a "5 seconds" image every time you fast-forward/rewind in a video. I find this very disturbing. Is there an option to toggle this off?

No, it isn't. For example, try with the Firefox browser, you don't get to see these images there. -

Yeah, probably it is from Youtube after all. I just checked some Youtube videos embedded on external sites. There the "5 seconds" images do not appear, but they do show up when viewed directly on Youtube. Yet there was one externally embedded video where the images also did appear.It is strange though that in Firefox you don't get to see these images at all.

Just did a test run with the current release of the Vivaldi browser (Chromium). No "5 seconds" images appearing on Youtube.That makes 2 votes against 1 that Opera is to blame for these images.
