Hmm, kinda odd. Not sure if you are comparing this to Chrome, Safari or Edge but with those you have a lot less control over the start&#x2F;speed-dial page.  Use the gear icon in the upper right to edit nearly everything on the speed dial page including turning speed dial off.<p>One of the main reasons I switched to Opera was the ability to have more control over the start page.<p>The biggest reason to switch to Opera now is the ad blocker is much faster than ABP&#x2F;Ghost&#x2F;etc and web pages load significantly faster now.
