      Any ideas how can I remove Google Search in Start page? And can I replace it with DuckDuckGo?
      Thank you!

        You can't replace it. You can remove it in settings if you have power user mode enabled.

            Here's something from a thread on removing Google Search from the Speed Dial.

                You can't.

                  You can press Alt P to open the Settings section of Opera. (Another way is to click on the Opera logo in the upper left of your browser to open the Opera menu and then click on Settings). Note under Settings the "On startup" section under the browser tab. There you can put a check in Open a page or specific set of pages. And then set the page or pages that you want for your home page.. That's how you can pick your own home page when you open the browser, if you prefer that to using the speed dial for your home page.

                  Then you can make each new tab your home page, instead of the Speed Dial. For that you need the extension Home Page in New Tab, which you can download from this link. https://addons.opera.com/en/extensions/details/homepage-in-new-tab/?display=en

                  With this two-prong approach, as long as you don't press the + sign after the last open tab on your tab bar, you never have to see the speed dial.

                      It must be better than a blank page at least. 🙂

                        Go into Opera's setting page and look for the Plug-ins area. Click the radio button next to Click to play.

                        Or you could install an extension that automatically starts YouTube videos paused. I'm a fan of Magic Actions for YouTube.
