I do not understand why the introduction of this flag? And why not a word in changelogs? Should I wrestle with why the browser behavior changed?

It's interesting to know why this flag was implemented. chrome://flags/#search-results-extensions-block

It's done for privacy reasons so extensions don't have access to search engine result pages unless you explicitly enable access for the extension in opera://extensions.

For a long time I could not understand why gestures do not work

Opera's built-in gesture support or some gesture extension? If Opera's built-in gesture support, it should be excluded from the blocking policy. If it's not, that's a bug. If you're talking about an extension that you added to Opera, then yeah, I can see why it (and adblocking extensions) not working on yandex.ru could be confusing if Opera doesn't tell you why in some way.

There are a few things listed in the changelogs at https://blogs.opera.com/desktop/changelog-for-57/. They're kind of subtle.

I don't remember if there was anything mentioned in any of the blog posts, but I did see some things about this mentioned in the comments. Guess there could have been some explicit FYI about it. Hopefully that will improve in the future.

Thanks, but.... I think is unnormal for clean usability.

The adblocker started being listed in the extensions page just a little while ago, its configuration has always be in settings.
