          Used the button constantly.
          Now I have the extension installed that has it on the far right, screwing with my muscle memory a lot but I may get used to it.
          But I don't want to get used to it, I want the original back.

            @satansbestbuddy In my opinion the best workaround is the one presented by jerkal1: adding a bookmark to opera://startpageshared the bookmarks bar.

            You can place it on the left side so the muscle memory has adapt, too but the distance between old and new position is not too far away.

              @rgranger it's ridiculous.
              I've instead added a bookmark in my bookmarks bar to send me to the Speed Dial page. (opera://startpageshared).

                  @jerkal1 Yep, I did also, but normally I didn't show the bookmark bar and ti takes up space. Bring Back the Home Button!

                    @jerkal1 Yeah, whatever space they thought that they were saving, we've had to use 50x that to use the bookmark bar... I never did when we had the speed-dial / home button. Now instead of a small button, I have a whole darn bar.
                    Opera: Again, if you don't want it on the top, allow us to add it to the side bar and pick the location..

                      I thought I was the only Opera user who used that speed dial button that was on the left side of the address bar. Now, I find this forum and — lo and behold! — it turns out the Opera dev team honked off a whole lot of users. As usual, the insular development folks didn't bother to ask the actual people who use its platform; they just decided all by themselves that new always means eliminating old: "Hey, we know what you guys want. No need for us to ask you silly plebians."

                        Found out on a different forum ...
                        on a windows 10 laptop,
                        Alt/Home takes you to the home page -

                        If the speed dial page doesn't show -
                        Settings > Browser > unclick Hide Speed Dial

                          @jerkal1 it's ok but this solution need to have bookmars on. On small screen like my i don't need bookmark or sidebar. I just want my most important button back.
                          This button did nothing wrong - removing it wasn't smart.

                            @targetpool That is the best workaround so far. Thank you very much!

                              I think I have amnesia or something. The button's back in settings, but I cant remember if it always opened a new tab or just insta-replaced the one you were in. Anyone remember how it used to work? Nuking the current tab just doesn't feel right.

                              A fix would be nice too 🙂

                                It always insta-replaced the one you where in and the majority of users like it that way. I doubt there will be an option to change it to open a new tab.

                                  Please see the image below or go to Settings and search for "Show start page button". This Enables speed dial in Opera one.

                                          @cst179d Thanks, I had to update to 102.0.4880.38 but it is there now.

                                          I guess we can get things "undone" when we speak out!
