Hello all, I just started using OGX and am wondering if there is any option to set www.startpage.com as the default for handling searches in the URL bar?

First time i am using Opera GX. Never used Opera before too so i have some questions if you guys don't mind.

• Is there any homepage icon i can add next to the searchbar?
• Is there a way to change the position of the sidebar?

Question 1: Is Opera GX owned by Google?

Question 2: Does Opera GX track you like Google

@googlechromefan No, and no. There are some options to allow some tracking for either statistical purposes (which features most people actually use) or to tailor the (optional) news to your interest, but they are easy enough to turn off.

1: Can I block scripts like brave can?
2: Can I use chrome extensions via .crx file?

How many users does GX have? is there a website to check?

All websites just show ''Opera''

@anothermemberofsociety Opera could tell you number of downloads but that can't tell you if they uninstalled it and went back to their old browser. Some sort of survey would be required.

@leocg Oh i see, but it shows Opera in general, not exclusively to GX

@anothermemberofsociety Don't look just in the main page, check the other ones, the reports.

@anothermemberofsociety Just for curiosity, are you planning to invest on Opera's stocks or make business with them? I'm asking because the number of downloads/users are relevant only on those two situations.

I want to get Opera GX but I don't know if my processer is good for Opera GX. Please tell me if my processor is good for Opera GX. Processor: Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Quad CPU @ 2.40GHz 2.40 GHz

@leocg I see that but I don't know how to tell if it is up to the requirements.

Is Opera GX at Stable Release or Early Access? Early Access is shown in program while "Stable Release" is shown when I use uninstaller program.

@hakuteiken It's stable. As far as I know, early access was used only in the beginning when GX was in a pre-release.
