Didn't Opera have the capability of folders in Speed Dial several versions ago?

Still does, but the folders show as pop-up panels and not as a treeview.

@sgunhouse OK, I am just now seeing that one can add folders to Speed Dial via the Bookmark Manager. Thank you for the confirmation.

@treego You can also drop one tile onto another to create a folder that way.

A thumbnail/folder could have smaller thumbs attached to it that would expand - allowing the user to go/click one of the smaller thumbs attached next to / on top of a folder - or the user could go to the folder.

^ This is just an idea to organize, group and stack thumbs/folders on SD/SP.

A certain inspiration might rise from Windows 10 "interactive" slash "chaseable" live tiles. Similar type of concept might work well on SD/SP too.

And yes - SD/SP thumbs/folders ~ it would be nice to:

i) choose current outlook or circles

ii) ability to choose thumbnail sizes (for example 2 or 3 pre set options)

iii) ability to have multiple sizes on SD/SP screen in a non-rigid arrangement

fvd speed dial

I'm not sure about that but many times especially exts at Chrome store shift ur data to a remote server. And then one needs to create an account to they're service inorder to get some gimmicky extra.

Speaking of Speed dial - I miss Stash.

I use the Pocket extension for this purpose. You could also use the sidebar extension, V7 Stash. They both work excellently.
