@blacksunray It is a known issue. It’s a bug due to an underlying UI change. It’s still being investigated. We just have to wait.

There's still the bug, I guess, that in the enhanced address bar five out of eight shown favorites sites are Opera specific ones:

1. Speed Dial
2. Schnellwahl (which is the same as 1) just in German)
3. Opera AI
4. Bookmarks
5. Preferences

I don't think that all these sites shouldn't show any way. Like in Brave or in Vivaldi these favorite websites should really be those sites that I actively visit with Opera not those that are specific to the browser itself.

@blacksunray: Hello, we apologize for misleading you. The search box in the address bar was removed from version 126 and won't be available again.

@opera-qa-team: Wow, I asked at the time and they didn't answer honestly. I stopped using Opera GX because of that decision to remove the search box, and now they're doing the same with Opera One. The browser is becoming more like Chrome, so it's easier to use Chrome than Opera. I've been using the browser since version 6 and year after year I see it losing features. It's very sad, but I'm going to migrate to Vivaldi, which, unlike Opera, is gaining more and more features. It's sad to start the year deceiving its audience.

Hello,
i'm using Opera 126.0.5750.18 on Windows 11, version 25H2, which is up to date, on a tablet PC, i.e. with a touch screen. On a touch screen, right clicks are done by holding your finger for more than ~ one second on a link. In this Opera version, a right click locks the entire browser. No context menu appears, scrolling, minimizing or closing the browser, using the controls on the top right are impossible. The browser gets unusable.
best regards - labourer

@labourer: i want to add that after trying a right click, the browser won't accept left clicks either. By minimizing and subsequently maximizing the browser window Opera gets functional again - until you try a right click the next time.

@andrew84: It's complicated to start the year with this kind of information, considering that in December, before Christmas, it was said that it was a bug and that it would be fixed, only to later apologize and say that they won't bring back the search box. I've been using Opera for a long time, but I'm going to switch to another browser because I don't like minimalist browsers like Chrome, and Opera had a different external appearance despite using the same engine.Since I'm the only one person using this option, they didn't change one that was disabled by default and activated only by those who wanted to use it. Before, we had options; now we have to follow the majority, and I don't accept that. Since they won't change it, I'll change it myself, to a browser that better suits my needs.

@blacksunray Sorry to imply above that it would be fixed.
