@opera-comments-bot better still, you can now disable them.

@neinja190 I agree, just a simple opera:flag would do

I agree opera was great, but all the great bits have gone. To get the speed dial back, I started using a plug in (FVD) - that company also had a bookmark sync which worked very well until my opera bookmarks started duplicating and then disappeared. Luckily the backup option of the plugin still had them from a few days prev. I decided to use firefox and it's been great for the last month or so - no missing features - but I would still like to see opera back to it's former functionality. The notes, speed dial and the bookmark manager used to be great (nicknames I used all the time). But all of a sudden it was replaced with little more than a shell of its former self. A bit like when a close friend has a nervous breakdown. I noticed market share for opera is dropping, and I'm not surprised.

I agree Jaspervik, something odd has happened with the whole Opera ethos. Once, I literally wore the T-Shirt.

I Loved speed dial - the name says it all, I just had to click on something & I was away. The simple uncluttered Experimental page was even better as my humble user brain quickly started recognising what it was I wanted to click on based on the URL and happy colour scheme.

The current implementation is a train wreck - a definite step backwards - I now have a speed dial bookmarks folder for every machine I thought I was syncing to - unless my machine has gone mental it does not synch the speed dial page at all, simply duplicates the contents into the bookmarks per machine..

In order to use the sync ability, I have to navigate somewhere and then click twice as many times to get what I once had immediately in front of me. AT one time this morning, I even had TWO identical folders claiming to be the machine I was working on.

This is not the productivity tool I have grown to depend on.

Oh, and it's started crashing if I type anything into the address bar. Stable? No.

sync speed dial has been a long time coming - at last it's here. Unfortunately for me, the speed dial ICONS have changed back to anonymous "globe" icons for some reason.
