@burnout426 Thanks. I figured that out eventually. That process is somewhat convoluted and non-intuitive, IMO. The next problem is to get a hundred bookmarks from SpeedDial into those Mobile folders.. Bookmarks are an important part of a browser and their use should be simple and straight forward. Every browser I have ever used had simple way plus a bookmark manager. The iPad and iPhone (Safari) handle bookmarking OK, but STB when it comes to managing them. Of the browsers I use (6 or 7 different ones), Opera does the best at ad blocking. I have one site I visit plasters the page so its unreadable on an iPad/iPhone when using Safari and not much better with the others, Opera being the exception.

@Thank you for the reply. However, it does not work that way on the iPad. As
I explained on my post, Mobile will allow one to create a folder, even add a book mark to it. I also was able to create a sub-folder but nothing more. Edit allows you to move the position of a bookmark in its current location, but not to a new folder.

In normal browsing mode, bookmarking a site automatically goes to speed dial. To go to a folder in Mobile, you cannot do it directly like you can to speed dial. You must choose Bookmarks instead of the Star (after hitting the 3 dots), then choose Mobile, then open the desired folder and then Done.

With speed dial, you hit the 3 dots and star and done. The use of Mobile is convoluted and non-intuitive plus you cannot move bookmarks directly from the speed dial page to a Mobile folder (or v.v.) without selecting the site and rebookmarking in either direction.

One last point, the "Desktop" option does not change anything from what I can see on an iPad. The larger screen size on the iPad does offer a tad bit more like a desktop than an iPhone. It also seems to get reset to "Off" after doing something after leaving Settings. If you turn it on and then go right back into settings, it will remain set to "On", but after doing a couple of things, it gets reset.

I like Opera over the other browsers, but recent changes have not always been for the good, even the desktop version. BTW, on the desktop, I like to selectively save some history over bookmarking. Most browsers will allow selecting a contiguous section and delete that section. With Opera, one must delete each item individually, which is a real nuisance when you have a large number of contiguous entries. It would be nice if they could address that, both desktop and phones and tablets.

Thank you,
Bob C.

@jonaballen How do you add bookmark folders on an iPad (iPad 9)? When I go to bookmarks, I have 2 choices, Speed Dial and Mobile. Speed Dial does not seem to allow folders. Mobile does allow folder creation, but no way to access and move the bookmarks from speed dial to those folders nor anyway to display those mobile folders from speed dial and turning off speed dial hides all the bookmarks.

I also turned on Desktop mode which doesn't seem to do anything - a big NOP! So Mobile seems to be useless on an iPad as well as turning on Desktop, which ends up getting reset to off at some point shortly after returning to the main screen.
