        @skatislav When you click on the heart button/icon in address bar to bookmark a page, you can choose a thumbnail for that bookmark/speed dial.

          Is it possible to set DuckDuckgo instead of Google for the search on the Quick Dial tab?

                I just installed this version of Opera (Gx) a couple of hours ago and would like to change the search engine to Ecosia. However, in the settings it only allows me to toggle the search engine between the defaults. It does not allow me to select any position on my own. What I can do?

                  Good evening, my operating system is Windows 10 updated, and my version of Opera Gx is LVL 2, I have a problem with whatsapp web, my cell phone does not recognize the QR code of Opera Gx, right now I tried to open whatsapp web with Chrome and with the WhatsApp PC application and it works normal, the only problem is with Opera Gx that I can do to solve this problem, I clarify that it works in any presentation, neither in the sidebar nor opening the web page from a new tab.

                  Thank you for your attention.

                          Hello!
                          Is there any way to remove the search bar in the speed dial window?
                          ce12a76d-7c94-4e72-8c2f-1da05d0076ac-image.png
                          At least there must be a way to change the search engine for it.
                          Looked thru the options, couldn't find anything to do with this.

                            @aninspirat10n The word is "Hide", as in Start page > Hide search box.

                                  @degenerat You don't fix anything because there is nothing wrong, this is how Chromium works.

                                  Use Shift + Esc to open Opera's task manager and check what are those processes.

                                      I was searching for topics about the home button but mostly of them was old and none of them was about the GX version.
                                      So, Opera, even in the GX version still don't have it? I downloaded it today and I've been try to finding it but without any success. If I'm right and it don't have the button, why after all those years Opera still resists in putting a home button? It is so essential for some people.

                                        @higherstigma Opera doesn't really support home pages, so having a home page button doesn't make much sense.

                                        And let`s be realistic, having a home page doesn't match with being in 2021.

                                          @leocg I kinda get it, but there is no button or shortcut to get back to speed dial in a fast way without getting in a new tab? I'm just getting some adaptations conflicts here and trying to discover more about the GX.

                                            @higherstigma In Opera GX, there isn't. Regular Opera has such button.

                                            You can type opera://startpage on address bar to go to start page/speed dial
