      I am using the LVL 3 version of Opera GX in a Windows laptop. I am trying to use https://www.ecosia.org as the default engine so I needed to add it.

      However, in the added part, the option to use that search engine as the default one is not available/does not appear when I click the three little dots that are next to the engine.

      I would like to know if it is a problem in my laptop or if it is not an actual option (to set the added engines as default).

      In case it is not an actual option, I would like to comment, as a feedback, that it should be an option for all users in case they would like to change the Search Engine.

      I look forward to your early response

        @andresecg As known, only pre-defined search engines can be set as the default one.

          Tonight when I went to play a game I found it very strange that constant fps drops in my game, so I decided to look at my task manager and that's when I came across something completely ridiculous and dick had 19 tabs open in my Opera GX, and how if not enough it constantly increased to the point of going up to 42 tabs and super heats my GPU to the point of my anti-virus restarting the pc to avoid serious damage to memory or something internal and it wasn't just me, my friends was the same constant crashes and bugs even ending a single tab it closed the entire Opera GX.Lixo dos inferno.png Lixo dos Inferno 2.jpg

            @jhonny-nikollas For how long did you research about it? It shouldn't take that long to find out that Chromium is multi process and there's nothing wrong in the screen shots you've posted.

                    When i try to find or update my browser, the browser stays stuck on this. So each time there's a new version, i have to manually redownload and reinstall. Before it was fine but now it's been like this for a while already. I try running the installer again and nothing solved.

                      @pedrinho Try with the offline installer. You can get it in www.opera.com/download

                              @lukaszo Don't know but since Opera doesn't have a home page, I guess it won't happen soon.

                                    Hello There.

                                    Can I change the search engine on speed dial not the Address bar but the main page can that be changed to duckduckgo, startpage etc. Kind of off topic Yeah I'm not a big fan of google In may own opinion. they have bad privacy so I'm hoping opera has good privacy and asking if I could remove or change that search engine can't wait to hear back.

                                    Opera Snapshot_2021-11-15_162158_startpage.png

                                    Kind regards,

                                    Logan

                                          @mayhazan That is Window's task manager showing that there is 27 Opera GX's processes running.

                                            Hi, My laptop has been randomly slow at times so I looked into it and my Opera Gx browser is eating a lot of RAM with 59 tasks.
                                            I thought it was strange since I only have 8 tabs open and 5 extensions.
                                            Is this normal or is this a problem?
                                            Thanks in advance!
