@domie-cat said in How to disable google ai on Opera ?:

disable google ai

There is a 'URL hack': put '&udm=14' at the end of the address!
That stops Google defaulting to 'AI-mode-at-top'.

You can add it in Settings > Search Engine > Manage search engines and site search > Site Search > [Add]

If you want to search for 'whatever', you can set it up to use a keyboard shortcut: I chose 'g-'.
Now if you type 'g- whatever' in the address/search bar, it detects the 'g-' when you type the ' ' space key, loads the custom site search address
https://google.com/search?q=%s&udm=14
and replaces %s with the 'whatever' that you type.

(Ignore the 'POST' option underneath: just leave it and click [Add].)

This doesn't stop the AI bit if you forget the 'g- ' prefix shortcut.

With the current version of Opera One, you need to update libffmpeg.so. To do this, I used a script that downloads the latest electron-vXX.X.X-linux-x64.zip from https://github.com/electron/electron/releases/latest and extracts libffmpeg.so.
#!/bin/sh # Download and extract the latest version of the libffmpeg.so file. # The libffmpeg.so file is extracted to the directory where the script is run. # $PWD = Print Working Directory # Get the latest Electron version VERSION=$(curl -sI https://github.com/electron/electron/releases/latest \ | grep -i '^location:' \ | sed 's/.*\/tag\/v//' \ | tr -d '\r') # Download the Electron archive curl -L -o "$PWD/electron.zip" \ "https://github.com/electron/electron/releases/download/v${VERSION}/electron-v${VERSION}-linux-x64.zip" # Extract libffmpeg.so unzip -j "$PWD/electron.zip" 'libffmpeg.so' -d "$PWD" # Remove the archive rm "$PWD/electron.zip"```

Hi Opera team.
I just wanted to share a casual idea I have been thinking about for the future.
What if Opera eventually created a desktop operating system with Opera GX built in as the main browser?
It could have system-level CPU and GPU limiters to keep background apps from using too many resources while gaming.
It could also include built-in CPU and GPU clocking tools to easily monitor and tune performance for AMD, NVIDIA, and Intel hardware.
A clean system like this would run really smoothly on standard gaming PCs, especially for budget or 4-core CPUs like a Ryzen 3 3100. (what i currently have)
I will leave any potential naming ideas or extra features entirely up to you guys if you ever decide to look into something like this.
Thank you for reading and for all the great work you do on Opera GX.

how to reporting issue

Posting about your problem

After have done the steps above and confirmed that the problem is most probably in Opera, it's time to post about it.

Read the rules: https://forums.opera.com/rules

Start the topic with a title that briefly describe the problem so people will know about what this is about.
Don't try to explain all the problem in the title.
Try to be as more specific as possible. Avoid too generic topic titles.

Use tags to make it easy for other users to find posts about similar issues. If posting about Opera Mail then add the 'Opera Mail' tag
Try to use up to 3 tags.

Try to not use more than three tags

In the post (body) you should include the following information:

Your OS (Linux, Mac, Windows)

Your version of Opera

If the problem is with a page, a link to it

A screen-shot of the problem if it's related to something not showing as should

A description of the problem, including as much as information as possible

Steps to (try to) reproduce the issue

Expected behavior and actual one

Do not use caps on your post. There aren't and there never will be reasons to use caps.

Idiscovered that My Flow was working on another PC. So I think the fix is uninstalling Opera GX and making a new fresh installation. Updates don't seem to do the rtrick.

@webmaster It worked for me. Additionally, I turned the setting back on and my browser still works. So basically, turning it off and turning it back on is all that was needed.
I had previously cleared all history/cache/etc. in attempt to fix the problem. Don't know if that is related to why it's working even with the option turned back on.

Also, the setting is Privacy protection

search engines search engine search with

The "Search with" context menu bug was finally fixed.

The issue ID (RNA-3999) was mentioned in 135.0.5973.41 changelog.
A few days ago, I updated the browser to version 135.0.5973.66, opened the same websites (Playwright, Opera Forums, Google Drive, etc.) and the inactive search engines didn't show up in context menu anymore.

I still think that Opera should add an option that disables the auto-add search engine to inactive shortcuts, for the reasons I mentioned in my previous comment.

There is another bug in "Search with" context menu, the search engine icons are not showing properly. I know this is a different type of bug, and I should create a new topic, but I think it's worth mentioning here.

Sometimes on opera://settings/searchEngines page, most of them display the blank-page icon (like the "YouTube Thumbnail" in the image below), and if I edit the URL, removing the %s and adding it again, the icon updates properly there.

But it doesn't update in context menu, and the search engine icons keep showing the magnifying glass, except for the default ones, plus YouTube, Know Your Meme, and Netflix, for some reason.
