      Sounds kind of backward to me. Like having a media player with a play button and a pause button, but that each work as play and pause. Just have 1 button that does both instead of 2 buttons that do the same thing.

      Its better to have separate search bar. Its not about being "backward" or not "modern" or whatever you think. It have some advatages that adress bar alone dont have. If you want to search some words like google or youtube its not possible without place "g " before that word. Otherwise it will autofill some suggested website and you will go to that site instead of search. So your analogy about Play/Pause button is not the same because having same button fot both dont bring any disadvantage for users.

      So if old Opera didnt have more than 5% of market how is the new Opera now? Does it have at least 5% or its worse then the old one?

        The download button will be gone when you empty the list of downloaded files.
        To remove the sync button you need to disable sync.

        Its not good solutuon I mean how to remove it permanetly. I dont want to stop using sync I just want to remove that button cause it have no use there. Please dont post half working solutions or solution to another issue.

          Incorrect. If you just type somethign in the address bad it will use your default search engine to look for it. In this case it would probably be google but it could also be yahoo or duckduckgo or whatever. So, yeah, my analogy about Play/Pause button still stands.

          So if old Opera didnt have more than 5% of market how is the new Opera now? Does it have at least 5% or its worse then the old one?

          Its been going up for the past year or so. The old Opera peaked at about 5% but that was like a decade ago. Its been around 2% on the desktop for the last 5 years or so. It bottomed out around 1.5% and its about 2.8% now.

          Please dont post half working solutions or solution to another issue.

          Well then the answer is no solution. The new Opera is not the old Opera. They are making progress but Opera 12 had 18 years to get where it was. The new Opera has had 2 years. So it many cases there are going to be things that simply don't work the way you want them to. You don't need to get snappy at us about that. Not like we have any control over it. There are no devs here.

            Ok Ill give you some example:

            1. visit www.google.com
            2. then try to search word "google" in adress bar
              as you can see with site suggestion you just cant search that word without some extra letters like "g " and thats the point. Some sites have names that you can want to search in future... do you see that now?

            Its been going up for the past year or so. The old Opera peaked at about 5% but that was like a decade ago. Its been around 2% on the desktop for the last 5 years or so. It bottomed out around 1.5% and its about 2.8% now.

            So how much have new Opera now? If its so great it should have at least as much as the old one or even more cause the old was was bad compared to new one... or didnt it?

              I gave you the solutions. The only way to get rid of those buttons is by doing what i said.

                You mean how many people is using Opera? If so, it's something like 52M+

                    You typed "goo"and this is what is being shown as a search suggestion.

                    I mean how many percent have new opera.

                    Basically the same, i guess.

                      And thats the point. If you have search and adress bar combinated in one, browser dont know if you want to get suggested site or you just want to search that word. Can you finaly see the difference?

                      Most of the URLs are short so theres no reason to have that long adress bar. If you have very long URL then even very long adress bar is not enough anyway. So why there is no otion to turn search bar on.

                        Because Opera 28 is not Opera 12.

                          And what is the problem? Opera will always (try to) autocomplete the address but you can hit the delete key to remove the autocompleted part or use the drop-down list to search a word.
