<![CDATA[Custom new tab homepage]]>When I click on "new tab" instead of showing google search box and speed dial (which I don't use) I instead want to load "opera://news" so I can see personalized news feed.

I used to have an extension to do that: Custom New Tab Page (https://addons.opera.com/en-gb/extensions/details/custom-new-tab-page) but it seems to have disappeared.

I can't seem to find something similar. Does anyone know of any alternatives either with our without using extensions? Or is there some way to copy the extension from one computer over to a new computer?

I tried to copy my data from C:\Users\myusername\AppData\Roaming\Opera Software\Opera\Extensions from one computer to another but that doesn't seem to be enough.

Thanks
Brad

Remember the Chrome extension thing for Opera? Install the extension (like Momentum or something) and pin it on top. When you click the icon, it creates a new tab, with the extension as new tab. Sweet! It is bad for lazy peeps because you have to click on the extension button on the top-right corner instead of the regular plus. You'll just have to get used to it, that's all.

And 90% of the good features included) to work on Opera thanks to this thread! Super chuffed.

Installed https://addons.opera.com/es/extensions/details/install-chrome-extensions/ and https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/new-tab-start-page/mjfahldkpjhcnfbbmdhpjolcjpcfhcpj and then went right-click copy link address on the greeting refresh button that appears under the greeting when you hover on it on the Ultidash tab. Put that link in as my new tab page, and it works! So I managed to get a url redirect for the new tab page from a new tab plugin that puts no url in the address bar. This may work for other Chrome new tab plugins with a refresh button!

Alternative solution:
[Applies only to those who use Cmd + T to open new tabs]

Instead of trying to replace new tab with other Extensions,
just set the function of shortcut "Cmd + T" to enable Momentum extension (go to opera://settings/keyboardShortcuts), replacing the original function of opening the default speed dial.

As long as you don't enable "hide search box" in settings.

Nothing works to solve this at present (Version:59.0.3211.0)
it's a game changer for me, I much prefer my NEW tabs as google.
I think if this makes it to 'Stable' build then I'll opt for something else other than Opera 😞

i m find solution.

I see. That uses chrome.tabs.create and chrome.tabs.remove to open up a new tab and close the start page to simulate a replacement. That's an alternative to chrome.tabs.update I guess.

However, while that works in Opera Stable, it was being denied in Opera Developer up to and including 59.0.3187.0. But, starting with 59.0.3192.0, it's being allowed again (and so is chrome.tabs.update). I'm not sure if Opera changed their minds or if they forget to enable the blocking in 59.0.3192.0. Guess we'll have to wait and see.

I think it technically reloaded to the custom page whenever the Speed Dial page loaded, but functionally, it felt very much like the Speed Dial page was replaced.

However, it looks like the extension was recently removed from the store. When I get a link to it on Google, it takes me to a 404 page.

There may also be speed dial suggestions, base on your browsing habits, that can be disabled if you want.
