For some reason, it uses Spanish Wikipedia to do so, and I haven't been able to change this setting.

My OS language is British English. My computer's region is set to the United Kingdom. My keyboard setup is British English. I am currently in Germany. Why is Opera using Spanish Wikipedia? (This behaviour is not specific to the time I have been in Germany.)

Technical info:

  • macOS version: 26.0
  • Opera version: 122.0.5643.92 (arm64), but the problem has been present since previous versions

Thanks in advance.

Anything but Google but preferably a custom site could be used too.

Great work team Opera 👏

I just right-click it and move it to the trash. Or, I can hover over it, click the 3 dots and move it to the trash. Or, I can goto the URL opera://bookmarks and remove it.

I don't have a booking.com one in the speed dial suggestions area.

If you see a booking.com thing above the main speed dial area, maybe it's something to do with the "Continue on booking.com" feature that you can disable at the URL opera://settings/startPage. But, as for the X you're looking for on the start page to get rid of it, the X might be a ways to the right of booking.com and it might be hard to see depending on your wallpaper.

On a side note, also notice the "Continue shopping" option in those start page settings.

Also note the promotional options at the URL opera://settings/privacy and the consent options at the URL opera://settings/privacy/consentFlow.

It also behaves the same on Windows and Linux, but for some reasons works on Mac. I really do not get why... The reason I posted the question here was my hope to disable the search from address bar specifically in Opera, because I could not do it in Chrome. But now I seems to be totally screwed...

Changing the language in Opera to en-NZ doesn't make Opera change the search URL used. Neither does setting the root/location country codes in the Local State file to NZ or en-NZ.

I saw under advanced search that you can specify which categories to search through, and whether or not to include child folders. What would you recommend as a good way to access that search configuration easily when I am using Opera for Android, and want to limit my search results to just Opera for Android posts? Only thing I can think of off the top of my head is to bookmark that advanced search parameter ?

It wasn't clear to me whether that advanced search configuration would be persistent across all future settings ... In which case I would just swipe open that left menu and tap search.. ?
