[Compilation]Discussions About Missing Speed Dial/Home Page Button In Opera One

Well, after fiddling with this start page mess for a few days, I better understand the behavior. I hate it, and it's not productive, but I hate it.
In a world where having many tabs open is a problem, Opera perpetuates the problem. There doesn't seem to be a way to go to the start page (speed dials) IN an open tab. One must click the + or the speed dial button in the sidebar (at the bottom left) which is both highly counterintuitive and requires you orient yourself from the address bar to find it.
Pinning the start page to the tab bar works the first time, but doesn't allow for opening the start page again in that tab.
I was an early adopter and moved away from IE, Chrome, Firefox and Edge. And this simple but profound change has me looking, once again, for a browser that is productive for me.

Agreed. And not only that.
The new speed dial button opens in a new tab instead of in the existing tab as before. My bookmark button "opera://startpageshared", which I pin on the bookmarks bar, restores the old function.

The "start page button" has been moved to the sidebar
Thanks, but It's so unusual. I have never used the sidebar. Why the Opera refused the Start Page/Home button in the address bar?

@gateau Great. But when I paste opera://startpageshared into the address field it opens the start page but I don't see any way to pin it. Or make a bookmark. How do we create that on our machines? Thanks.

@leocg They do, however, have a start button. Maybe they should allow actual users to decide whether they want such a button or not. Why should I have to close a current tab then open another, to get the start page? It's a waste of time and effort (albeit a small one). Imposing your choices on users is a sure way to lose them.

Use a temporary bookmark button, say www.yahoo.com, pin it on the favorites toolbar and right-click on it to replace the address with "chrome://startpageshared" or "opera://startpageshared".

After update today, the speed dial button in the bar is missing - looked like 4 small rectangles. What up?

So stupid to move the Speed Dial button from the toolbar to the bottom of the side bar. Just put the damn thing back where it was and quit randomly moving stuff around. Ffs.

@richard127gm It's not the perfect solution but you can "pin" starting page to the card bar
-
pindos last edited by@darkwind23 It is not the solution at all! This way doesn't provide the functionality of Start button (or Speed Dial button) that opens Speed Dial in active page.
They put Speed Dial button to Sidebar now. Very strange decision, to my mind. I never used this bar. -

@pindos This is how I did it and it works great, the older version of opera was better at this

Why moved? It was there all the time.
