Speed dial has turned to shit again, slow to load or never loads at all, what did you guys break now?

@kuhlkees Check the Speed Dial folder, it may have moved your tiles to another location further down the folder tree and Opera is having trouble locating them or not finding them at all.

Happened to me when I was updating my extensions and installing some live wallpaper, the Speed Dial folder reset itself and emptied out all my tiles and relocated them to my imported / other bookmarks folder. I had to manually move my tiles back into the Speed Dial folder for it to start working normally again.

@sgrandin Perhaps a Windows update and reinstalling the extensions might correct the issues? as you did a system restore it might have removed some of the Windows updates relative to your extensions working properly.

Okay, I found out why my Speed Dial wasn't loading, the Speed Dial folder reset itself and deleted the contents when installing or updating my extensions and even when installing live wallpaper themes the Speed Dial would default back to empty and all my tiles would be moved to the 'Other Bookmarks' folder section under 'DESKTOP-46P963L'.

If your Speed Dial folder is empty then Opera is most likely searching for your tiles in the folder tree in the case of where mine were moved too in the 'Imported / Other Bookmarks ' section which is probably why it took ages to load or didn't load at all.

I had to copy all my tiles back into the Default Speed Dial folder so that they would load as normal and upon doing so my Opera Speed Dial page was back to it's fast loading speed.

Anyone having slow loading or experiencing an empty Speed Dial page should look into it as it may solve your issue as it did mine... for now.

@stevejones Be better off sticking with your other browsers, Opera has been doing the same to me since the start of the year 2020 and gets worse with every new update... Funny thing is YouTube plays just fine with other browsers with exactly the same extensions and plugins installed.

There is no fix for it period unless you disable things that use to work with older versions, This browser has now turned to shit.

A good extension that works with JDownloader 2
