I have just upgraded to Opera 100 and the Start Page button is not there any more, and I cannot see any way in Settings to restore it.
Why is this? Why remove the Start Page button?
I have reinstalled Opera 99 for now.
Please reinstate the Start Page button as soon as possible.
Totally agree - the Speed Dial button has been removed and it's really bad.
Why remove it?
I'm staying on Opera 99 until it is restored.
Hi, I have just updated to Opera 98 and all my speed dials have been pushed down so that they no longer fit on the screen.
At first I did not see why but now I have realised that it is because there is now a "smiley" just above and to the right of the top row which is pushing everything down.
What is this "smiley" for and how can I get rid of it?
@leocg Leo, what I don't understand is why was the Speed Dial button removed?
It wasn't hurting anyone or causing any problem to anyone, so why remove it?
It just seems a pointless thing to do, and has really pissed off a considerable number of people.
Agreed.
Opera is my favourite browser, has been for years, but I don't like the new interface.
I'm sticking with Opera 99.
But shouldn't need to use an extension - the Start Page button shouldn't have been removed in the first place!
Also in the entire changelog for Opera 100 there is no mention of removing the Start Page button, so how come it has been done?
@Goldenfire644 Yes, but there was a very useful button at the top left of the toolbar that would take you from whichever page you were on back to the Speed Dial page - pretty much a Home button. In Opera 100 it has been removed.

So there is no way to remove it!
I know this button is a very minor thing but I hate it when something is imposed - I liked it the way it was and I have had a change I did not want forced on me. That is not nice - at least give me the option to remove it, like the weather widget. It's rather authoritarian.
@jay7son But other browsers still offer a home page button as an option.
Opera has removed it completely!

@cpking Yes you can download old versions from the Opera FTP site. It won't let me post a link, so just google Opera FTP.
