Homepage in New Tab extension

This extension enables you to set homepage and open in new or current tab.

How to use :
1. At Option page, enter Homepage URL and Choose whether to reuse current tab.
2. Press home icon, then go to Homepage!

Here is how "reuse current tab" option works.
(a) If "reuse current tab" option is NOT checked,
(a-1)Current tab = not Speeddial tab --> create a NEW TAB and jump to your Homepage (if exists inactive Speeddial tab, it is reused)
(a-2)Current tab = Speeddial tab (opera://startpage/) --> simply jump to your Homepage
(b) If "reuse current tab" option is checked, simply jump to your Homepage URL in current tab.

Doesn't work in Version:60.0.3255.69. I installed it, added my home page, which is a valid URL and it goes to the sidebar page...

For those that lament Opera's omitting of the homepage button, they say it's for "Security Reasons", preventing, home page hijacking.

Just updated to the latest version of Opera 60.0.3 and the H.B.E (Home Button Extension) which I subsequently installed shows up on the toolbar as shown in the screenshot, working perfectly!

True...it was surprising that the feature was not embedded in the browser features but thanks to the great tips/instructions provided by AskVG, it was virtually hassle-free and since everything checks out with the latest version, I really have no complaints to make.

This adds yet another pointless extension button rather than replacing the new tab page.

The extension providing the page I set as the URL already provides a button that does this.

Shame on Opera for omitting homepages and the ability to set the new tab page to such for the fact we need such an extension as this.

Doesn't work in Opera 52 for macOS High Sierra... just opens up the specified window when clicked.

Works perfectly in Opera 50.0 Jan 2018.
An absolute gem !
Does exactly what any other Home Button does - click it and the home page opens.
That it does not automatically detect the home page which has to be set is minor compared to the massive inconvenience of omission by Opera developers.
Yes...one could create a bookmark to the home page but it sits where all Home Buttons are located providing convenience and efficiency. My bookmark bar is overflowing - it can do without a homepage bookmark.

The only way this works for me is if I click the icon, which seems to act as nothing more than another bookmark. I wanted a replacement startpage, not a convoluted bookmark. Uninstalled.

很棒的插件。感谢开发者。
顺便吐槽一下OPERA：去掉主页按钮一点极客范儿都没有增加好吗，只是给用户添堵。

Leaving aside a little problem, it's working perfectly in Opera v32.0
I would really like if you could choose how many buttons of it you can have tho.
So that way, we could have more pages linked to the buttons, it would be really nice.
