@Popcorn537 Can't stand the stupid search "feature" that nobody wants, just like Microsoft Windows. Now there are 2 or 3 search fields at the top of some pages. We don't want to change search engines every time. Opera must offer a way to disable it or Firefox is my next default.

@BrandonMe agree, i am getting used to ff now, been using opera for a while so will take some adjusting. Shame really.

More than that I think having the bar be a search bar by default is asinine.

I Want To Type In An Address
I don't want a search engine.

The bar shld start with https://
why is the new tab a search page????

Is there no way to disable that

@Acebufs You don't have a search bar by default, you still have the same address/search bar bar that you have been using in the last decade, at least.
The difference is that now you can see what is the default search engine and you can also ask Opera AI.

@leocg you have an extra bar you cannot remove. You can take the ai off it but it still leaves the search engine choice. Why can this extra bar nit be optional. I don't want to have it in my face as don't often change it.

@cska133 searchbar is just set on mine as a single bar with the Google icon on left of bar followed by space to type search and to the right a microphone button. I don't have any other bars cluttering up the space like when the search selection bar had its own none movable bar.

@leocg oh wow, this is really bad, what for another toolbar to fill up the screen and make the visible contend less
Nothing of these buttons can be removed?
