      @loopy1945 It's, in fact, the start page button.

        Go to sidebar >Settings(cogwheel)>Privacy & Protection> scroll down to advanced and open>scroll to start page> select Hide Speed Dial and it's gone

          Hi
          This may sound odd but I want to totally do away with speed dial. To me, it is horrid and invasive. I don't want it or need it but I've tried all the 'fixes' I see online and nothing works. In settings it says 'Hide Speed dial' but that doesn't work either. I have a new tab page that I love and want to use. I was able to use my own start page so is there a way to use my own new tab page? They should at least make speed dial an option and not mandatory. Thanks for any help. My browser is Version:93.0.4585.37

          are you still having the issue?

            As far as opening a new tab, yes I am still having this issue.

              but the start page is a speed dial is it not? a couple of websites I go to on Opera either don't work or it will not accept the url.. I copied the url from Chrome to Opera and still got an error trying to log in.
              This is all info and things that just don't seem to work the way I think they should.

              Thanks for your help. Much appreciated

                @loopy1945 Nope, Speed Dial is part of the start page, it's a section of it

                  @burnout426 ...I was about to uninstall Opera because of not being able to remove some news sources, but the New Tab Start Page extension fixed it. I no longer use the speed dial page at all. (It's really dumb that I can't edit the news sources...would have been a deal breaker for me)

                    I don't have a problem with the start page. It's the new tab page that I have a problem with but it's ok. I've gone back to chrome. It works ok....just slow.

                              This on works on Opera 100 and newer version: Go to "Settings" and then type "Hide Speed Dial" and switch it on.
