      @excalibur5 Because there are processes that are not for a tab.
      As said, use Shift + ESC to see them.

        @leocg I have been seeing 23 listings in Task Manager and I have 3 open tabs. But I don't know what any of the processes are doing or if they are safe.................

          @excalibur5 Please read my previous reply again. I said how you can see what are those processes.

            @leocg https://ibb.co/Jr8GTjf Do you mean like this? See image. Right clicking each one does not say anything about what they are

              @excalibur5 Nope, forget about Windows task manager and just use Shift + Esc in Opera.

                  I understand that I cannot change the default search engine, but can I make google to redirect to goole.com.au in address bar instead of google.com, google.com stops working every time I'm on vpn.

                    There is a google search bar on my opera home page. I do not use google search, how can I remove it from my home page.

                      @pdoug as said, you can hide it in settings page. Check the start page section.

                          It is not possible to manually activate as default another search engine than the defaults that came with Opera linux desktop, for example, I tried to make Startpage or Ecosia as default and it was not possible.

                          It is only possible in search engines that you already see installed by default (google, bing, yahoo, duckduckgo, amazon and wikipedia).

                          The bug happens both in the stable version (93.0.4585.37) and in the beta version (94.0.4606.19) installed via snapstore:

                          https://snapcraft.io/opera-beta

                          OS Info:
                          Kubuntu 22.04 64 bits
                          System: Ubuntu Core 18 (x86_64; KDE)

                          Thank you

                              @leocg Hello, thanks for clarifying. I still think it wouldn't be difficult for the Opera team to solve this, because the Chromium code allows this and all browsers based on Chromium allow this, except Opera.

                                Hello,

                                I recently changed device and i wanted to have everything from my previous device to the new device so that i can continue to enjoy using Opera browser. All my bookmarks and other stuff has been syncronised completely but the i also wanted my speed dial from my previous device which didn't syncronise at all

                                Is there any way that i can do that??

                                Appreciate any help.

                                  @kashifweb As your research probably already told you, your Speed Dial from other Opera installations are in Other Speed Dials and you can copy what you want to Speed Dial to have them in your current Speed Dial.

                                    Has anyone a quick and simple way of adding a Logo or a Picture to the Speed Dial tabs ?

                                      @signpost So your research didn't find nothing helpful in the several posts about it?

                                      Basically you open the page, click on the heart icon in the right of address bar and choose one of images available.

                                            @pachanga44 When you add a page to Speed Dial you can choose among some images from that page the one to be the thumbnail.
                                            If you want to change that image, you can go to the page, click on the heart icon in the address bar and choose a new one.
