@necroproctolog To not get Yandex as the default search engine and/or the search engine in the start page you need to install Opera in a region where another search engine will be set up.

You can try a workaround. Goto the URL opera://about, take note of the "profile" path, close Opera, and edit the "Local State" file in the profile folder with a text editor. You want to change the country and country_from_server values from whatever country code they're set to now to US for example.

Just note that this might cause sites to send you US English content where it otherwise wouldn't.

@burnout426 said in Opera without Yandex:
"country_from_server":"GB"

but I didn't do anything, I was able to download pure Opera and I want to understand how to do it again

@necroproctolog There isn't a "pure Opera" to be downloaded, the installer is the same for everyone.

Download the Opera installer.

Goto the URL opera://about, take note of the "install" path, and close Opera.

Uninstall Opera (do not choose to delete you data if it asks) and then delete the install folder if it remains.

Launch the installer, click "options", set your language, uncheck "import data from default browser", adjust the other options as you like, and install.

Then, if needed, double-check that your country code is correct in your Local State file. And, in Opera, goto the URL opera://settings/languages and make sure your language has been added and "display Opera in this language" is set for it via the 3 dots.
