Start page / Speed dial

After 15 years I have come back to Opera and so far I'm loving it except for a couple of quirks. The one that bothers me the most is when I first load Opera a fresh start page opens up with it.

In settings I have it set so that opera opens my old tabs. I make sure there are no start page/speed dial tabs open before I close the browser down, yet when I reopen the browser there is the start page tab again. How do I turn off this irritating behavior that no other browser does?

@vux777 OMG i feel so dumb now and also thank you very much!
Maybe you can also help me with the only other problem I have with opera? Is there a way for me to automatically sync open tabs between two different computers? Like, if I open a tab on computer A it will also open that same tab on computer B?

you can enable sync (it's standard Opera feature in settings) and in it, there is Open tabs option
but tabs won't auto-open on other devices

you need to click on arrow on top right corner and choose them from Other devices list

Well that's a bummer.

Ok how about this one: I open a tab on computer A and browse around. I then open the same tab on computer B using the other devices drop down arrow and again browse around. When I go back to computer A, the tabs are not sync'd. Is this working as intended? Do I have to select from the other devices arrow drop down every time I want to view what the other computer tab was browsing? Why even call it sync'd tabs when it clearly is just a history list if so?

@dotjun
honestly, I don't know if this is default behavior or not
I'm not using tabs sync at all
I would guess that only list is updated...nothing else (no auto-anything)

Yes, this is how it works. You can view other Opera's opened tabs in the tabs menu or by going to the tabs page in the side bar.
