If the timestamp is too old, it should check again.

But again Opera uses google.nl as the default search engine.

Changing the Locat State files did not fix the issue this time.

The contry info line looks like this

{"country":"US","country_from_server":"US","timestamp":"1491210053600000000"},"partner_content":

Any suggestions how to make Opera use google.com instead of a local version ?

Is there a place where I can report this bug

It's not a bug. Anyway there have been some complaints about it since the beginning of Opera Blink.

Where do I find this file ?

It's in Opera's profile folder. You can check Menu > About Opera for the path.

I also wonder why they make it so complicated. Does the Opera team never travel ?

"location":{"country":"br","country_from_server":"BR","timestamp":"1478033905600000000"}
