It is a shame opera is not fit for purpose anymore without a home button at the top.
Also they have stopped blocking adds and are now in league with google !
There are plenty of other browsers now that block ads using ublock but none of them seem to
have a nice user interface and none of them do tabs as well as opera.
I've had to go back to firefox with ublock but tabs are rubbish in comparison.
There are a few browsers now not offering the home button by default on the argument
it is easy to click on new tab, but that method requires you to close your existing tab
ie an extra click ???

@cragmc I used that button a lot and miss it. I may as well just use Chrome now.

@cragmc I agree. Put ot back. It can be found in the sidebar settings, if you search. But it's awkward to use way down there. Put speed dial back the way it was. That's what makes Opera unique.

HI,

After the update the start page button disappeared, and its also gone from the settings now! Is this a bug or a feature?! I need my start page button.

Love the new look – and miss the speed dial button. Currently use the sidebar icon but having it in the url-bar was way easier. As an option (like VPN), even with default off, would be great. Thanks!

It's pretty ridiculous getting rid of the Home button, like if you don't need a page you can get to Speed Dial with one click. But now you have to close that page, go to the end of an Island, and add a new page, just to get to SD.

SD is now redundant, because to get to stuff fast you make a bookmark folder with all the SD links inside. That way you can get to stuff fast on any page, which make the actual SD page useless.

In the previous version of Opera there was a button to return to the Start Page/Speed Dial in the upper left corner, now in Opera One I can't include this button, and I really miss it, does anyone know how to include it again?
It was next to the reload button.
Please help me!

Why not add the speed dial button again? or put an option in the settings like other browsers to be able to activate this button instead of removing it completely.

@jay7son But other browsers still offer a home page button as an option.

Opera has removed it completely!

Having just recovered from having broken versions of Opera, I can, now, whinge about trivial issues.

I use the deb file installed version of Opera Developer and the snap version of Opera Stable (don't ask!) which runs in its own snap virtual environment and does not use the Opera files in ~/.config..

In neither version does the navigation icon for the start page appear in the navigation bar and there is no Settings item to add it.

I suppose it is getting on for about a year that Opera One was released and throughout that time the help page has listed its existance.

Is there a way of adding it to the navigation bar?

Don't make me go back to Opera 12!

With the last version (100.0) the button to change the current page to quick access disappeared (it was next to the refresh page button). Is there any setting that brings the button back? I used that button very often.

@sgunhouse Hi: I hope I don't sound mean or anything, but as others have stated, some of us just don't use the Bookmarks bar. I've been using Opera a Looooong time and the one thing I hate is 'automatic updates'! One evening my Opera is working beautifully, customized for my needs (I have stage IV bone & prostate cancer that's partially paralyzed my left hand & left foot), so having things 'modified' in the middle of the night is not helpful or wanted!!!

@hanzox7 Unfortunately, I'm considering doing the same. Too bad, as I've been using Opera since they first entered the market!

Where is the home button for quick return to my speed dial? With the recent new Opera look this has been changed.

I desperately want this button back please. In case you forgot; when it pressed it directs you to the Quick Access Menu / The Home Menu. I was using it a lot.
(Opera One does not have one right ?)

Since the update the icon for speed dial has been removed from next to the address bar. We now have: back, forward, VPN and refresh. Please, please, please with a cherry on top and sprinkles reinstate it please?
