Well that is disappointing. Thanks for the answer.
It seems like basic functionality that has been omitted. I'm grateful that Opera has given us their browser for so long with no fee, but truly I'd be happy to pay for it if it had a few more features I desired. I put off using the new version until bookmarks were added. If there were an upgraded version I'd be happy to pay for it as I do find it better than many other popular browsers.
