      How do I carry out the following operations:
      (1) Have website thumbnails instead of icons on the Speed Dial screen

      and -

      (2) Have more than 5 columns on the Speed Dial screen?

      1. Uninstall Opera 31
      2. Reinstall Opera 30
      3. Block auto updates

        Okay, let me rephrase. I should have said, how do I change the Speed Dial thumbnail size which I was able to do in Opera 30?

        I seriously don't want to have to use the absurdly stupid method of zooming out because that reduces the size of the search box and whatever I type into it, plus the icons at the bottom of the screen.

          Not possible afaik.

          Don't know if opera://flags#default-tile-width and/or opera://flags#default-tile-height have something to do with it.

                How do I set it to thumbnails by default, for all and any entry in the Speed dial? Forever!

                  Thanks - that's exactly what I ended up doing.

                    One more way:

                    1. Uninstall Opera
                    2. Install Vivaldi

                    Where my Opera 12's bookmarks? Where much usable former thumbnails page instead this Metro's crap? I don't desire back to Windows 2.0. Where much usable configuration window with huge tree of settings? Where site specific setting window that are possible use with right click? Where are your promises two years ago? There not enough time was elapsed?
                    I don't need just a Chrome clone. I had loved the Opera. RIP. I wish good luck in the upbringing a new generation of fans to narcissistic developers. Stupid audience for laze devs – this will fair.

                      There's a nice extension that does an old-style speed dial. As indicated in the comments, you can also make it replace the current speed dial.

                      Only problem so far is you have to set your speed dial entries again.

                        That's the best way so far

                          That is a nice attractive alternative to the Opera Speed Dial. It doesn't give you folders for each speed dial position, but it can be made quite good-looking, and, multiple pages/groups are possible.
