What has happened to the Start Page button? It was in previous versions of Opera, but it has completely disappeared from Opera One! It was so useful too!!

Just updated Opera today and when it reloaded it opened opera one with a load of different changes to the layout.

There used to be a button next to the refresh button on the left of the URL bar which has just disappeared. I use speed dial quite often and it's now very annoying having to close the current window and open a new one rather than just clicking the speed dial button.

There also needs to be some mouseOver text that appears whenever you hold your mouse cursor over a long link telling you the full name of the site cause otherwise you have to click it and load the page to see what the link is. If you got multiple pages from the same website in speed dial that is also not good.

Also on the right hand side of the URL bar there has been a few more buttons added, one of them being a new 'send to my flow' button which I can't get rid of even though I have 'my flow' turned off in the settings.

Will anything be done about the speed dial button?

Kinda dissapointed this got forced on users with no option. I mean, turning it off by default and letting the user decide if they want it on or not couldn't have been too hard. If the devs really wanted to bury it, at least leave it as a flag that power users can enable.

Firefox, Edge and Chrome have this very basic feature. Not sure what could be the rationale for removing this. Seriously considering going back to Edge or Firefox as my daily driver.

They removed it. I noticed this while testing the beta, but I hoped somehow it would take into consideration that my version had the button enabled and would keep my choice enabled when it upgraded, but no such luck.

Put it back! There are all these stupid buttons that remain useless, take them away rather than a popular one.

You can key home, default seems to be Alt+Home keys.

In Opera 100 for Windows, now called Opera one, the home page icon, located just at the left of navigation bar, has disappeared; anyone knows how to recover it, or is it a tremendous bug?
Thanks.

@fixopera I agree with you all you have said; I am bothered with the same as you. Very disappointed. I have come back to Opera 99 until they fix these tremendous errors.
You can come back to Opera 99 simply going to Opera folder through Windows explorer, you will see there Opera 100, Opera 99 and maybe others. Simply delete the Opera 100 folder and the rest of versions if there is, except Opera 99. Then restart the computer.

I agree with you guys.
If Opera wants to keep things tidy, then that's okay – but let us re-enable this feature, which might've been just hidden by default.

Thanks for the reminder of how easy it was to revert to older versions.
I also additionally deleted the autoupdate feature in windows task scheduler.

Opera One is not yet usable in the current state. Too much has been made worse.

It is correct what you say but I recommend you to add a letter, for example "s" to the file opera_autoupdate, which is Opera 99 folder. If you do it, you will have 1 less subprocess in the opera internet browser process in Windows task manager. Besides, if you delete another file in the same place called "crash reporter", you will have another less subprocess. I delete the latter in every Opera version I install.
Every time you want to update, you must delete the letter added in opera_autoupdates. You can do it quietly, no problem.

@llorente2000 It was probably just removed.

It was a very useful feature. It helped me quickly open Speed Dial without closing old tab. It's very sad that developers removed it. Other browsers (Firefox, Chrome) still have start page button!

So I really enjoyed when I had the speed dial next to the reload and other navigation buttons, how can I get this back? Honestly, I'm going to switch back to firefox or something else because of that. Having it way down on the side is super inconvenient. Anyone know how to fix that or is it permanent? Literally every web browser has a home button, except this one, and it's so frustrating to do 3 extra steps just to get back to my speed dial tabs.

Now, when you finish working on the tab, you need to do extra actions. Previously, this was done by pressing 1 button. Now you need to close the tab and click on creating an express panel. What is the logic of removing this button?

Taking an actual useful button away and keeping the my flow button even though i turned the feature of.

Bring it back, at least the option for the button.

And reconsider how you approach changes like for opera one
