Good evening, I just installed Opera GX and I need to access my WhatsApp Web but it does not scan my QR code, instead in other browsers, it scans it without problems and very fast, I would like you to help me please.

Hello!
Is there any way to remove the search bar in the speed dial window?

At least there must be a way to change the search engine for it.
Looked thru the options, couldn't find anything to do with this.

@aninspirat10n The word is "Hide", as in Start page > Hide search box.

Opera GX creates too many processes (25) with 9 open tabs and 4 extensions, how to fix this?

@degenerat You don't fix anything because there is nothing wrong, this is how Chromium works.

Use Shift + Esc to open Opera's task manager and check what are those processes.

I was searching for topics about the home button but mostly of them was old and none of them was about the GX version.
So, Opera, even in the GX version still don't have it? I downloaded it today and I've been try to finding it but without any success. If I'm right and it don't have the button, why after all those years Opera still resists in putting a home button? It is so essential for some people.

@higherstigma Opera doesn't really support home pages, so having a home page button doesn't make much sense.

And let`s be realistic, having a home page doesn't match with being in 2021.

@leocg I kinda get it, but there is no button or shortcut to get back to speed dial in a fast way without getting in a new tab? I'm just getting some adaptations conflicts here and trying to discover more about the GX.

@higherstigma In Opera GX, there isn't. Regular Opera has such button.

You can type opera://startpage on address bar to go to start page/speed dial

Is there a way to remove default search engines from OperaGX or remove their shortcuts. Its can be too disturbing sometimes that not being authorized to change or remove this shortcuts.

Please Opera...

When downloading files even though that option is turned off and the download path is selected to downloads it still prompts you to "where to save file", please fix.

@theuntitledgoose A simple (re)search would have told you that the Save As dialog will show up for certain types of files, no matter your choice in the settings. It's by design.
