The Home screen in Opera Touch has six elements:

  1. The Fast Action Button (FAB) is Opera Touch’s all-inclusive button, used to create new searches, open tabs, navigate web pages, and perform voice searches.
  2. The menu bar will navigate you to other screens in Opera Touch: My Flow, Home, History, and the overflow menu  button.
  3. The search box allows you to search for anything or open a web page.
  4. Recent Tabs From Computer contains the three most recent tabs used on your Opera desktop browser. Your phone and computer must be connected via My Flow for this to be available.
  5. Top Sites shows the web pages you most often visit in Opera Touch. The more you visit a website, the higher it will rise in this section. You can scroll up and down to find your other favorite sites.
  6. Starred pages are shortcuts to your favorite web pages. They will remain on your Home screen until you delete them individually.
