        Hello guys,

        how can I choose a custom search engine and set it as default?

        Is it possible, with tweaks, Flags, hosts, edit files, or whatever?

        I want to change my search engine to Qwant and set it as default, but why is Opera not allowing other users to set their search engine and use only their categories (Google, Yahoo!, DuckDuckGo, Amazon, Bing, Wikipedia) only?

        If it is about security reasons, why do not Opera adds a mark, that says, if you click this mark you will take care then or something like that.

        Have a nice day.

          There are a number of viruses and other malware that change your default search engine, by limiting it to those supplied with the browser they prevent malware from changing to some bad search engine. That's their explanation anyway.

            Hi @sgunhouse, can you maybe forward the developer, that they add Qwant as a choosable default search engine?

              The start page search bar still uses Google even when I changed my default browser.

                                Why does the main menu appear to me as Google's default search engine if the current one I have in DuckDuckGo?Sin título.png

                                      This issue happens to me on any Windows machine I try using Opera on. "Ask where to save each file before downloading" is toggled OFF, but Opera still asks me where to download files each time I go to download a file.

                                      Does anyone know of a way to fix this?

                                      Appreciate the help, thank you!

                                        @operagem Depending on the file type, the Save As dialog will always show up for security reasons.
                                        Also, that setting is more for when you right click on a link and choose save content as.
