How to sync the Speed dials between devices?
I cannot believe that no one has requested it
Or if you can already do that, please show me how.

@lvhoang You enable sync and select the option to sync bookmarks.
Speed Dials from other installations can be found under Other Speed Dials in the bookmarks manager page.

Hello, I am in the US and when I activate the VPN, it switches to Europe or Sweden and can't surf because things show up in another language.

What's the deal??

@usaf6915thess The sites are thinking that you are connecting from those places and, therefore, changing the language.

@leocg Ok...is there a way to change that as I select America's and nothing changes.

@usaf6915thess Only the sites can fix that. What you can do for now is to disable the VPN or change the language on those sites.

Change windows default search(taskbar search) to opera with search engine of choice.
I've set the PC default browser to opera, set the search in opera to duckduckgo, but when I go and use the searchbar it opens bing in microsoft edge. Chrome and Firefox have the feature to change it to their browser, but seems like not opera. Am I doing something wrong, or is it not a feature?

@Husenberg You can only set the pre-defined search engines as the default one.

@wasabii Usually it means that you have a broken download in the downloads list.

Why can you not set custom search engines as default? Every other major browser has this functionality! You can't even get an extension to change it, like you can on Firefox or Chrome. Opera and Chrome are both based of Chromium, so why can't you add that feature?

@craziiace Officially it's to protect search engines from being hijacked by malwares.

I would like to change the search engine to Ecosia. However, in the configuration, it only lets me change the search engine between the ones it has by default. He does not let me select any position on my own. What I can do?

@Adrian43 Nothing. As you have noticed, only pre-configured search engines can be set as default.

I was wondering how to remove the google search bar. I have selected duckduckgo as default but it still shows google over speed dials.

My PC has been going really slow lately, and when I check in Task Manager there is like 9 instances of Opera running, but I only ever have one Browser open at a time... is this normal?? Seems like they are using a lot of my PC's Memory too, which might be slowing down my PC... help??

OS: Windows 10
Version: Regular Opera for Widows with latest Update
