Seems to work perfectly well displaying nothing. But I don't use anything that's distinctly "Speed Dial", and my start page and new page are blank because that's just what I prefer. If you want your top level to only consist of the Speed Dial, then power to you. Should we? If it's not too much hassle, hence the Can't say I see how it's "not practical". Can we also get the computer to do tedious busywork to make our lives even just a little bit better when we need it? Yes. I just want to get up-and-running and probably have other things to think about, so something like this that pollutes my other machines is just annoying, hence the feature request. I'm okay with the marketing agreements, but I've seen them already and deleted them already. Since that's unlikely to change, a flat-out "Disable Speed Dial" tickbox that just blocked the folder would be my preferred approach. If Speed Dial could be synced separately, that would solve it (just by recognising the top-level folder as the special case it is, because that's how all these other UI elements recognise it to work like this). I know Speed Dial is just a top-level folder (it's part of why the Bookmark vs Speed Dial selector in the new modal makes no sense to me, just seems redundant). It's just an extra step that I wish I didn't have to (one of the points of sync is to make setup on new machines seamless). I do not care for the feature, it makes no sense to me (just a second, shallower bookmark tree, I already put frequently-used bookmarks high up in mine anyway) and so while 3.8 is what made me finally just want it gone (did we really have to give up the snapshot for this?) it'll be useful for future-proofing my options, and at the end of the day is more power for the community and just another customisation option for an excellently customisable This is what I do. The freed up vertical space could allow for the snapshot to be re-introduced, since I miss that now, it was nice, or could be used extending the view of the bookmarks tree so that I have more than 6 items at once the freed vertical space would easily let you get an extra three rows in.īut the true upside of disabling speed-dial would then be not having more interruptions in the future when a new feature gets added to speed dials. It would also mean tab-navigating to the search box would be quicker (since you don't have to tab over the bookmarks and speed-dial buttons just to get to the search). Personally, having the option to flat-out remove the speed-dial (and thus if I install to a new machine it won't attempt to auto-populate) would be great. I don't hate the new modal, and the auto-add was sorely needed, though I don't see why we needed the new design (especially one that lost the screenshot). I'm glad I can already clear away the speed-dial from the new-page and just have it blank (I dislike clutter), however with 3.8 the Add Bookmark modal now has some clutter in the distinction between bookmarks and speed-dial. My flow works around the address bar and my bookmarks.
