      Today I returned to Opera after a long break. I came to the Developer version to test out the VPN.

      I'm using: 38.0.2205.0.

      For years I have used a local web server to provide a page that I use in all my browsers, on-start and on-new-tab.

      I can't find how to invoke that page in Opera when I create a new tab. (Instead all I can get is something called Start Page which has:

      1. search
      2. hyperlinks (called Speed Dial)
      3. "News"
      4. with a predefined set of styles called themes.)

      I've tried an additional entry in the config file (Preferences). "homepage" didn't crash the system, but neither did it work.

      What do I do to get the page I want when I create a new tab?

      Thanks.

        You would need to install an extension for that, and there are several.

            so If you goto opera://settings/ and try using the on startup function to tell to use a specific page it still wont open your custom page
