Today my Opera Browser's Google Searches have begun working differently.

Links to sites like Wikipedia have stopped working, they open a "This webpage is not available" with a url of "intent://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/" to start. If I open the link in a new tab, it loads fine.
Same thing for Youtube. Tapping a Youtube video opens the Youtube app. This is NEW functionality, and not what I want. "Open in new tab" opens the video in the browser.
These bugs need to go, or the browser will be unusuable.

I can confirm this. Many Google links don't work anymore or open other Apps (for example Stack overflow).

I can also confirm this. Also: it doesn't happen with other browsers on Android (ie. Chrome, Firefox).

It is weird. As mentioned above:
e.g. Wikipedia pages can't be opened when I am in google search (it redirects me to "intent://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/" and shows that the webpage is not available). But, if I sign in to my google account, then the same page opens. Also it opens in a new tab or in Bing. Problems also with lot of other sites/links. Anyone? -

Have you reported it to Google? Also, it was reported also using the "report a problem" tool in Opera for Android?
Have not reported it to Google. As for the bug report I'm following Opera's arrive:
If your bug is being discussed in the Opera community forums, a report has probably already been filed. Additional reports will then serve no purpose, as they will simply be marked as duplicates. -

One more data point. I run android without a Google account. Starting today, when using Chrome, following a Google search link leads to the google prompt that reads 'just a sec' and then insists that I put in my account information or open a new account, not to the web page the link should open.
Fortunately the trick mentioned above about opening link in new tab leads to desired page. -

Problem solved. Now, Opera in Google Search is opening mentioned sites/links/webpages. Haven't done anything. Obviously it has been some kind of a bug in Google-Opera.
