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

@leocg Any chance to add it in the future?

@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.

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!

@dweym As said many times, it's normal, it's how Chromium works. You can use shift + esc to open the task manager and see what are those processes.

@leocg Hello I Wonder why can't you change it? if you select a other default search engine It should be a right for it to change and not just force you to use Google. like if I want to use duckduckgo it should change too duckduckgo instead of Google I mean do you agree or disagree that it should change? If not why?

@powerdragonhd I don't agree nor I disagree. Don't know why the start page search engine can't be changed, but I guess it's due to the contract.

I am trying to both:
a) delete some of the default search engines I never want to use even by accident,
and b) change my default search engine to a custom input.

Regarding A, I simply don't see an option to delete them anywhere, but I'm sure it must be doable somehow?

Regarding B:
I've added a custom search engine for Ecosia (my preferred search), as seen below.

However, when I go to try and change the default browser to Ecosia, it only give the options of the default ones (including, as mentioned, ones I would like to delete)

How do I set it to the custom search engine? (I've also tried installing the Ecosia extension like I used on FF/Chrome, but it seems to be having no effect..)
