Speed dial is O's idea of an empty window - which I don't like as much
as you don't like, I think. I gather the thought is that if you don't
want a "home" page then there's no harm in using that otherwise empty
space to put this wonderful feature into. Some people seem to not be
bothered by it. Some people like the "always restore session" option,
instead.
I'll have to look up how I disabled it in mine -- it's not exactly obvious.
The overwhelming reason I stick with O. is the zoom behavior. The
changelog touts a bunch of new things for 9.5 -- I've not really got an
opinion yet.
(didn't like some of default stylistic things .. black location bar?!?)
The ability to zoom pages including images is why I use Opera at all.
I have a similar dislike for the speeddial thing. There is a (very
small) clickable link in the lower right corner of the speeddial screen
that turns it off for good. Unless you turn it back on by mistake, which
I did once.
The first thing I noticed about Opera 9.5 was that the old keyboard
shortcuts don't work anymore. I use them quite a bit, my favorite being
the '1' and '2' keys on the numeric keypad to move between tabs. There
is a way to restore 9.2 keyboard shortcuts in Preferences -> Shortcuts.
I didn't like the black bar either but am getting used to it.
