      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!
