@redcapshortcut This is something that was asked for many months ago I can vouch. The topics listed have since been deleted by the moderation team for a merging reason I guess but the feedback from those posts are now lost.
The home button is such as simple request but the forums fails to let us know what we have to do to get "x" implemented, like, do we need users requesting such features? since most of the people dont know that a forum even exists let alone they be willing to create an account on here.

@redcapshortcut said in No Start Page/Speed Dial button:
I know that this was already asked several times:
- How to add a start page/speed dial button to the toolbar in gx?
- Why they removed "GO TO SPEED DIAL" Button
- [Request]Add Speed Dial button
- Opera GX Has No Home Button
- Homepage button.
But why Opera team has still not responded to this yet?
I know that there is a Speed Dial button in the Sidebar, but it's too far away, and it also functions differently. Why not at least give an option, which is disabled by default, so that those who need the button, can enable it?exactly! I would like to remind, that in the macOS version this button exists where it should be - next to the refresh button. why not in the windows version?

Adding myself to the request. I don't understand why it was decided that GX doesn't need it. The Speed Dial button on the address bar should to the very least be something that can be turned on/off in GX, but at least give the option to add it!

If any developer is watching this post... Please add a speed dial button on the address bar. I have just switched browsers and I am seriously thinking or reverting back to my old one due to this disadvantage.

I stopped bothering with OperaGX, if web browser devs cant handle a simple request then i'd rather not use such a browser. Been going well without it, for about a year now.

@reverse7 I know this is an older question but this is for anyone like me that wants that speed dial button from normal to GX. What I eventually had to do was to open the page and then pin the speed dial page. Just in case you don't know how to pin you can right-click the tab at the top and pin it, the tab will shrink and stay open at the top left.

Well, seems like they will just not implement it ever. And what is worse is the fact, that they will also remove it in the main branch, which is gonna be Opera One.
I was recently trying Edge, and it was so refreshing to see that simple home button there. It is such a basic feature! Who cares about some AI, give as that speed dial button. -

Ahoy, still sucks no solution so far. From what I've seen it seems opera wants to get rid of the speed dial. Despite the fact that they invented it and I have always found it incredibly useful. The transparency effects are very blurry, makes it hard to focus, and there appears to be no option to go back to the way it was with the speed dial button and the block colors as of 6/19/2023. The developers seem to have completely removed it or want to. Luckily there are still some shortcuts.- If you are using mouse gestures, right click and hold, drag down, then release click for the speed dial in a new tab.
- If you want to type it you can type opera://startpageshared in the url box.
- The keyboard shortcut for the speed dial is alt+home and it will take you instantly there in the current tab.
I had to create some of my own icons for the speed dial by changing the colors around manually and downloading some off the net. I replaced almost all the blurry ones and will finish the rest soon. The current page is way too blurry like everybody is wearing bifocals or something. I had about 30 speed dial icons and did a little more than half. Really sucks that I have to do it on my own now when it used to be the default.
