Hi everyone - something weird happening with MacOS.
Not sure how, but I've enabled something that makes the browser have a reverse high contrast like look.
I've deleted the cache folder and the Application Support folder, but it doesn't fix the issue.
Can anyone tell me where else to look?

Afraid not - here it is in Non-Private window

It's like a broken CSS where the background colour of elements has been set to black. And some other weirdness.
I've deleted the app, the 2 folders that's used on a Mac, but the problem remains.
It started when I updated to 10.15.4, so it might be an interaction with macOS, but I have another Mac that's also been updated to 10.15.4 and it doesn't have this issue. -

Hi @SilentHugOfDoom, it's already removed since Opera developer 68.0.3602.0 - "DNA-83996 Remove Instant Search".
Also, to make things clear, I'm one of the users, not one of the Opera's peeps. -

Hello @l33t4opera thank you for answering. I'm a macOS user. We are on version 67.0.3575.115 on macOS stable, and I still have Instant Search. I believe macOS version is coming from behind? I double checked the updates and it says Opera is up to date. What is the reason for removing this feature? It's not only this feature, they are chopping every other features slowly, and calling this browser innovative?! Opera is rapidly becoming a shallow browser now which has a lot of make ups to cover how empty it is when it comes to functionality, and innovation. This is very sad, and disappointing, and I don't understand why they are doing this.

@SilentHugOfDoom It looks like, when the above mentioned version reaches stable channel, this feature will be not available then.
You know some features are simply removed because they are not so well popular among the users (regarding to Opera's stats for example), some of them e.g. because there are not enough resources to maintain and continue of developing it.
In some cases. there are also other reasons for removing a feature.
If you are really curious, you can ask one of the Opera's employees, and perhaps you will receive more detailed answer for your question. -

yeah, I know and it seems like Opera is aiming a new kind of user profile; gamers. because, they believe they can expand their user base by catching their attention and make more profit from it. accordingly browser is becoming a shallow version of it's prime. this is sad, I can't make the calls, but I hope they keep some features optional or I have no choice but stop using Opera in near future. I'm using opera more than 10 years close to 15. I think you understand why I'm super angry...
