Opera Speed Dial: How to Add Website Thumbnails.

If you use Opera browser you noticed that since version 27 or 28 the built-in Speed Dial doesn't add thumbnails anymore, but just large coloured icons with large letters i.e.
I personally find it difficult to look for a website I want to open, too many colours and they all look alike. I am so used to having website screenshot thumbnails, it was so much easier to locate a dial. Recently I found a way to add thumbnails to speed dials. I don't know if they are going to stay on after another update, I guess it is for me to find out later on and I will post it here. It is a two step process, but it's worth it if you like pictures for speed dials. First you have to bookmark it. And then add it to the speed dial. Just click a button when you hover over a bookmark.
When you do it this way the website appears as a thumbnail.
