@jay7son But other browsers still offer a home page button as an option.

Opera has removed it completely!

@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.

Have you reinstated the Speed Dial button that was removed in Opera 100?

@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.

@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.

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.

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?

Agreed.

Opera is my favourite browser, has been for years, but I don't like the new interface.

I'm sticking with Opera 99.

I do it using CCleaner - the Tools section.

Oh yes - you need to disable the Opera Assistant. I always do this on installing a new release.

I really don't like any automatic stuff and always disable it - if I want to upgrade I will do it when I want.

@swmalinga Thanks - that's very useful.

However it would have been better if the Opera devs hadn't just arrogantly removed the Start Page button.

Hopefully there will be an option to restore it in the next release.

Yes - just delete the autoupdate.exe file in the Program Files/Opera folder.

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.

Yes, I have just upgraded to v100 and I immediately saw that the Start Page button has been removed. Why?

It really is incredibly annoying when devs remove a feature, indeed it is pure arrogance.

I have reverted to v99 - hopefully this arrogance will be fixed.

@leocg Thanks for the reply, but to give feedback on what? And how to remove it?

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?

@burnout426 That works brilliantly, thanks a lot. I've set it to Alt+S.

Hi, it would be very useful if there was a keyboard shortcut to Show/Hide the sidebar.
