Being redirected to tatrck.com when selecting a site from suggestions

Hi,
I recently noticed that Opera redirects to tatrck.com when I select a site from suggestions. After that it goes to the page I want.
I tried to remove all plugins. It did not help. So I have installed new Windows into VirtualBox and new Opera ... and it is the same. Opera is basically spyware now.

As example just type binance.com and press enter.

Can anybody explain why? Or is it possible to disable this "feature"?

Thanks

@hubga Opera One, Opera GX or Opera Air?

@hubga Couldn't notice any redirection on Opera One and Opera GX here.

Opera GX does not do that.

I noticed that this only happens when I choose the link with icon in the suggestion box - like this

after that it goes to tatrck

It does not happen when showing this "web" icon. Then it goes without redirection.

It must be related to that suggestion link

@hubga I don't get the first one. Maybe it's from a bookmark/speed dial?

Nope, it is clean Windows with clean Opera.
I wouldn't have almost noticed if I didn't have uBlock ...
(and uBlock is not the cause because it does the same with clean Opera without plugins).

@hubga I am experiencing the same. Not just from suggestions, but also when I type binance.com or tradingview.com to the address bar and press Enter. The browser redirects me to tatrck.com.

I can confirm that there is the same problem with tradingview on my computer.
It is the suggestion with the icon.

As there is the icon, it looks like some affiliate tracking for Opera Software.

I also confirm this behaviour. Opera One on MacOS (version: 117.0.5408.142).

Opera does all it can to motivate people move to other browsers

I‘ve seen this behavior in Opera Android only so far. But lately I‘ve been given suggestions to web sites in the address bar that don‘t stem from history nor from bookmarks.

But it behaves the same with external VPN as well (Germany, Poland, Netherlands)

I‘d guess that‘s a way they‘re trying to make some money.

The problem is gone. It seems someone read it and silently removed this super feature
