@darthgtb Yes!!! So obvious. Whoever heard of a browser without a "Home" button?! I sure hope the Opera "wizzzerds" are reading these complaints.
It feels like Opera has gotten infected by the MS Windows corp/builders bug: "Let's come up with a new version that includes lots of things nobody asked for and arbitrarily take away some really useful features for no reason."

@leocg You must be kidding? Why should I have to type a url to get to my HOMEPAGE?? esp., when I could previously do it with one mouse click on a convenient button?
@ppclarke Thanks for offering a suggestion. Yes, Speed Dial is my homepage. (I don't see any way in Opera, unlike most other browsers, for selecting your own homepage. But I like the "3D" character of Speed Dial, with its large icons, as a handy dashboard display for my most-used bookmarks.) Plus, I don't use the bookmarks toolbar: it's just one more bar taking up space at the top of the page and easily accessible from the sidebar menu.

@as1973 Okay! That worked. (And is the most useful/convenient suggestion so far.) Thank you. I had to scroll through the ridiculously-detailed Setup menus a couple times to find out how to customize shortcuts, but finally found it. Funny how the shortcut works (for changing the current tab back to Speed Dial), but clicking on the icon directly opens a new tab!
