      My Facebook games have their own search bars in the games for us to use in navigating game function during play. The devs tell me the auto fill is coming from my browser and they can't control that.
      Please, I want to shut this malfunctioning feature off so bad. Is there a way to do it?
      If I mistyped a search term it saves it like that and forever I have this stupid term mispelled coming up.
      There's also things I only needed to look for once, and now it's there for Ever! forever! forever! until I clear cache and cookies.
      The drop down of choices for this auto fill is also in the way of seeing what I"m typing and the dumb thing also gets in the way of positioning the cursor in the box if I have to put the focus back on the box (because games).
      It also covers other things and makes my game harder to get through as efficiently as I used to. Sometimes I need to see what is under that drop down because the game searches as you type and the results are there without submitting, and the drop down is covering the results.
      So it's like some auto fill function that builds its own library of stuff I've searched for in that specific search bar. I have several on a screen at once, and each populates a different drop down Say like the neighbors search collects people's names I've typed before, but the shop only has products I've searched for. So each of these boxes are compiling their own unique libraries.
      So somewhere there has to be a way to clear the compiled libraries or X out a bad one I don't want on the list anymore. Or just shut the function off for these games, it isn't useful and it partiall covers the seach bar so I have half the area to click my cursor back in to refocus on the box again if a pop up disrupted my typing (because games)
      and the drop down covers results I need to see
      because the game devs laready made their search bars funcitonal enough to suit the purposes of the game
      I'd like to shut these OFF pleazzzzzzz!

        @myiiadoredu You can select the mistyped entry and remove it by clicking on the X on the right or using Shift + Del.

              I just changed my searching engine from Yandex to Duckduckgo. I already reopened my browser few times and rebooted my PC. What do I do?изображение_2022-01-12_204848.png

                @adelith The search engine inside the speed dial page can't be changed, only turned off or on. Default search engine applies everywhere else.

                    Long term Opera user and decided to try Opera GX. Looks good, I think I like it. I've managed to sync over all of my old data from standard Opera and I can see where my speed dial pages and folders are in the Bookmarks sidebar - But how can I restore my actual speed dial view?
                    In particular I have a speed dial folder containing all of my permanently pinned tabs (and several other speed dial folders of project pages). Is there a way to restore these without manually adding each page to the speed dial page?

                      @scottcon9 Go to the bookmarks manager page (opera://bookmarks) and copy the ones you want from the devices folders in Other Speed Dials to Speed Dial

                        Got it! Thank you. I was a bit curious about why Opera GX had renamed my PC. All my old speed dials are listed under this renamed machine. I can drag and drop them back to my original PC speed dial.
                        Seems too simple now. Cheers.

                            @furyx1337 When you are adding a page to Speed Dial/Bookmarks, you can choose among a few images from that page the one to be the thumbnail.

                            if you didn't do that when you added the page, just open it and click on the heart icon in address bar.

                              Is there a way for us to unbind the left ALT key from opening the opera menu dropdown? This is the key most people use for PTT when in other applications and is also used frequently for other functions and it's quite annoying to have the menu pop up every time the window is focused and I'm using the shortcut for another app. Please help.

                                  @leocg OK thanks... That's enough for me to uninstall unfortunately. Love the browser but this menu shortcut is super annoying.

                                    @leocg I would also like to add on this, that you mention in previous posts that the ALT shortcut is something that has been a staple in Windows forever, so why would you want to change it.... That's false. The alt key should "target" the menu but not "open" the menu until you hit enter.

                                      @leocg No it doesn't have that. This is in a game. The entries aren't having an x to remove things with. This is also a separate list from any other site. I have no idea where the cache is stashed. The devs say it's my browser doing it. It's a different complie when I use a different browser, so what they say is true.
                                      I would like to just turn this off.
                                      The game has it's own auto fill where we need it.

                                          Hi there,
                                          My problem is that I have hidden tabs that I can't see or close. If you look in the task manager, I supposedly have 25 tabs open.

                                          alt text

                                          But the truth is I have these tabs open >

                                          alt text

                                          If I open a new tab, the number in Taskamanger increases to 26 and so on. The CPU and RAM utilization is also very high!

                                            @billabong Nope, you have 25 processes. You can use Shift + Esc while in Opera to see what are those processes.
