        It's time saver - I want to be able to close the current page and go to the speed dial at the same time so I can pick something else from it.. or just type an URL.

        Now?
        I have to close the tab and then click on "plus" button - so it's one unnecessary extra click. Whyy opera, whyyy.

          Opera has a low market share on desktop browsers. Some genius at management decided that they must be "different".

          Not realising that browsers have been incrementally improved and perfected over time, like a Porsche 911 — and that today's Chrome/Firefox/Edge visuals and features are what most users want.

            @leocg Leo, what I don't understand is why was the Speed Dial button removed?

            It wasn't hurting anyone or causing any problem to anyone, so why remove it?

            It just seems a pointless thing to do, and has really pissed off a considerable number of people.

                @greenpalmer-0 like...why would anyone make a browser with no homepage functionality?? I can open a new tab but I have to click again to close an old one? A Speed Dial/Home Button does both of those things in one click. One click people. Simple. SMDH

                  I agree with you, the missing Speed Dial icon is the first thing I've noticed when I've installed Opera One.

                  It would be better to put it back next to the refresh button.

                  However you can set a keyboard shortcut that fixes the problem, while we hopefully wait for an update.

                  I've set Alt+A to open the Speed Dial/Home page in shortcuts settings, and it's very useful and comfortable, cause it allows you to switch the current page to "Speed Dials/Home" page without the need to open a new tab/use the side bar.

                    Yes. And there are a few things in that section of the page that don't need to be there. For example, I don't use VPN. Let me turn that off. Also, the quick setup button could go all the way to the right where it used to be and seemed natural.

                        @leocg But can I remove the VPN button from the space to the left of the search bar?

                          @modemjunkie Disabling it in settings should also remove the icon in address bar.

                              Well, I had a breakthrough and figured it out. When you start, Opera, you go to your start page. Pin that tab and it shrinks and becomes effectively a start page button.

                                @greenpalmer-0 Since the other Opera desktop browsers also don't have it, maybe Opera wanted to align with them? Maybe the button is not used that much? Don't know.

                                  @cpking nope, that won't do it. If you navigate to a different page from there...the subsequent page becomes pinned.

                                    @leocg they all had it until this update. So far the only solution seems to be to go back to a previous version.

                                      @kevdotkrizzle Opera GX never had a "Speed Dial" button. Not sure about Opera Crypto but it's probably the same.

                                        @leocg said in Speed dial button missing:

                                        Opera Crypto

                                        really? this whole thread of upset Opera users and you picked out the word "all" in my last post to prove some kind of point? Opera Crypto does have it and whatever the hell iteration of "regular" Opera that I've been using has had one until this recent update. This is not difficult or worthy of debate. put the home button (Speed Dial Button) back geesh.

                                          I posted (here, I think) about a solution that completely evaded me. If you pin the start page tab, it shrinks to a start page/speed dial button. For my version of Opera, at least, this is a highly workable solution.

                                          [EDIT: It was (correctly) pointed out to me that this method pins whatever URL you choose in speed dial. Damn, thought I had it...]

                                            I did see where you can add speed dial to the side bar. Not at all intuitive, but at least there's that...
