OK, so I want to make DuckDuckGo my default home page on Opera. I get the box that says

# 

Set as Homepage

1. Select **Opera \> Preferences** (on Mac) or **Opera \> Options** (on Windows)
2. Under On startup select **Open a specific page or set of pages**
3. Enter **https: slashes duck duckgo dot com**

Set as Default Search Engine

I think chemo brain has set in strong this morning, but where in heck do I find the on start up in opera? I can find it in firefox with no problem, but could someone please tell me which little icon on startup is found? Maybe a tell an id10t move by move style?

On mine, it’s menu\>settings\>on startup

I’m using v68.0. I’d personally use a Speed Dail button instead of a homepage.
