@elljay23 Just don't forget that the flag will probably be gone in a couple of months.

• Open Opera GX settings.
• In the "Search settings" box on the top right, type: "Enable the search pop-up when selecting text".
• Enable the setting that pops up.

@theshinyscouter Thanks for the info - that option disables the popup completely. Since I posted the question Opera has changed the pop up so it's always "Search | Copy | Snapshot" no matter how many words, so the "Copy" appears in the same place again every time. Thanks anyway!

@elljay23 yes, I reported the same.
3 words selection looks more or less logical at least, but not the every time appearing 'snapshot'.
The best solution would be the optional 'snapshot' feature.

besides topic is very old and opera already has a option for it.
for someone like me searching for answers.

opera://settings/searchPopup

and disable it.
