That said, you can go to the search settings and add a new search engine and mark it as key "gg", then enter you requested search string. I use:

https://www.google.com/search?q=%s&udm=14

that nukes aio. It is a pain to get used to, but it works.

examples:

1.- Corpse Mountain, nu?
2.- Orice timp mai tarziu...
3.- Un ultima lucru
4.- Devour
5.- Ce?
6.-T-Aceea putere! El este un Sealer?!"
7.- Atât de fără efort?!"
8.- La naiba!

All these phrases are in Romanian, not Spanish. The Vivaldi web browser also had this problem.

While it is perfectly understandable as their primary source of income, nobody in the history of ever has wanted nor enjoyed ads (apart from those rare gems that enter history).

The legality of removing part of a service that they seem to think you consent to by using, and apparently certain countries this is the law...is sketchy at best.

The real question to ask is how the "other" video content providers keep going without intrusive ads.

Youtube should stick to providing over 1080p options only to subscribers, and limiting uploadable content without subscriber. Rantrant.

Now, if Sync isn't working for you and you can still load the old Opera on the old computer, you can do exporting and importing:

In Opera on the old computer, goto the URL opera://bookmarks and use the drop-down at the bottom left to export your bookmarks to an HTML file. Then, copy that HTML file to a USB stick for example to transfer it to the new computer. Then, in Opera on the new computer, goto the URL opera://settings/importData, select "Bookmarks HTML file" in the drop-down and point it to the bookmarks HTML file to import your bookmarks. Then, goto the URL opera://bookmarks and go in to the "Bookmarks Bar" folder to find your imported bookmarks. You can then move the bookmarks to where you want. For example, you can move imported speed dials to the "Speed Dial" folder and imported bookmarks to the root of the "Bookmarks Bar" folder or "Other Bookmarks". How ever you want.

For passwords, in the old Opera, goto the URL opera://password-manager/settings and export your passwords to a CSV file. Then, open up the CSV file in a text editor to make sure the passwords are actually there. Then, in Opera on the new computer, goto opera://password-manager/settings and import the CSV file from the old Opera.

For open tabs, before you export your bookmarks, in each workspace, in each window, right-click on an open tab, goto "Save" and choose "all tabs to a speed dial folder". You can then name those speed dial folders "Window 1 - Workspace name1", "Window 1 - Workspace Name2", "Window 2 - Workspace Name 1" etc. so you know what tabs are for what workspace. Then, in the new Opera, after creating the same workspaces and number of windows, in each workspace, in each window, you can right-click on its corresponding imported speed dial folder and choose "open all in tabs" to restore your open tabs. This does not restore navigation history for each tab though.

For history, you can goto the URL opera://about, take note of the "profile" path, close Opera and copy the "History" file in the profile folder over to the new computer and use that copy to replace the existing one in Opera's profile folder.

For extensions, you reinstall them. For cookies, you don't transfer those. You just log in to sites again in the new Opera. For settings, you just adjust your settings again.

For autofill form data and a few other things, you might be able to copy the "Web Data" file in the profile folder for the old Opera and use it to replace the "Web Data" file for the new Opera. Might not work properly though if anything in the "Web Data" file is encrypted by the old Opera where the new Opera can't read it. But, you can try. If it doesn't work, you can just delete the "Web data" file to have Opera create a fresh one that it can write to again.

Or:

Download "Opera_131.0.5877.97_Setup_x64.exe" from https://ftp.opera.com/pub/opera/desktop/131.0.5877.97/win/, close Opera, uninstall Opera via "Install apps" in settings in Windows (but don't choose to delete your data when asked). Then, delete the "Opera" folder in "C:\Users\admin\AppData\Local\Programs".

Then, launch the Opera installer, click "options", make sure all the options are how you want them and install.

You can reset Opera Sync at https://www.sync.opera.com/ using the "Reset passphrase" link. Opera doesn't sync with Google's servers though. It only syncs with sync.opera.com and only extensions from addons.opera.com are synced.

For good measure, you should scan your system with the free version of Malwarebytes.

Also, look in "C:\Users\yourusername\AppData\Roaming" and "C:\Users\yourusername\AppData\Local" for a folder that's manifest.json in it. If you find one, open manifest.json in a text editor and see if that looks like the culprit. If so, delete the extension folder.

In the Windows task manager, see if there are any weird processes running. There could be malware running that keeps reinstalling the extension.

Check in "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies" for a "Google" key to see if there are any subkeys that are force-loading the extension.

Check "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Policies", and "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Policies" too.

Check "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Google\Chrome\Extensions", "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Google\Chrome\Extensions" and "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Google\Chrome\Extensions" too.

For Opera's desktop shortcut, right-click on it, goto "properties" and check the target field command on the "Shortcut" tab to make sure there are no command-line switched being passed to opera.exe to directly load an extension. Same with Opera's pinned taskbar icon by right-clicking it and right-clicking "Opera Browser" and going to "properties".

Check the "Startup" tab in the Windows task manager and "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run", "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run" and "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run".

Searching for "olkpikmlhoaojbbmmpejnimiglejmboe" in the registry and removing things like you did will probably cover that, but you can manually check those keys just in case.

If a test standalone installation of Opera is not affected, but a regular installation is, you might have to uninstall the regular installation, delete its install folder and then delete/rename the "Opera Stable" folder in both "C:\Users\yourusername\AppData\Roaming\Opera Software" and "C:\Users\yourusername\AppData\Local\Opera Software".

You can goto the URL chrome://policy in both Chrome and Opera to see if it's picking up any polices from the registry. In Opera, you'll need to enable the "Show policy page" flag at the URL opera://flags/#policy first though.

This matter is now closed. I don't know how or why. But it started working again after a few days. Only thing I can remember doing is removing Google Chrome from my computer and then Opera booted again.

Weird. But again thanks for replying.

I do not have it yet .............
