@justfothen I agree. The lack of this Tab feature in Opera is the number one reason that I do not use it as my go to browser on Windows. Nor do I promote it for use on windows. As I do primarily use it on my Android devices.

@justfothen
I guess I miss stated the way Opera works. You can set a specific page or pages on Startup and I specify the same Speed Dial that I use with the other browsers. What you cannot do is specify the page when you open a Tab. Nor can you specify to use the same setting as you have set for Startup. You get he Opera Speed Dial. But you can add an extension to Opera that will let you add the home (Startup) page in a new tab. Sorry I was not clear.

Wrong. That icon only shows when you are on a page other than the home page. It is like a button to return you to the home page. Which in most cases is the Speed dial page unless one has defined a different Start Page in the settings.

@leocg
You are wrong. You do support custom Start Pages and always have.

Settings – Advanced – Privacy Security – On Startup – Open a specific page or set of pages

The page I use is GroupSpeedDial chrome-extension://imfeikbeimbfpmgfkkmjekabdehiiajc/dial.html

You basically are correct but you need to. And you need to support the same as the specified Start Page defined in settings as part of on startup settings. Instead having to use the add-in.

The Start Page Icon just to the right of the Reload icon does not bring up the defined Start Page. It brings up the Speed Dial page. Not necessarily the same thing.

I can set a specific page on Startup but can not specify a specific page for a new tab. All I get is the Opera Speed Dial. Yes there is an add-in but that is annoying and should not be needed. It should be a setting. This is the main reason that I do not us Opera Browser on my computers. While I do use it on my Tablets and Phones. While the Speed Dial is pretty good and I use it on the Tablets and Phones I prefer to use the Chrome Group Speed Dial Extension on the computers and the startup page/tabs is set to:

chrome-extension://imfeikbeimbfpmgfkkmjekabdehiiajc/dial.html

I can use this extension on Chrome, Firefox, and Envy. And I can easily keep the Dials in sync. Why not Opera.

Please fix Opera.
