I have a SERIOUS issue with opera, that is bothering me for literally years.</p>
<p dir="auto">I can't type in CUSTOM website adresses in the adress bar. I have access to some private websites and pages, that aren't following the usual mask, like "<a href="http://www.website.com" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow ugc">www.website.com</a>".<br />
But ALWAYS, when i try to put in something in the adress bar, INSTEAD of trying to access the desired website, it redirects me to  google, or yaahoo search engines, with my desired adress auto-written into the search bar. AND, ofcourse, the needed website is not listed in the search results, becouse they are protected from search engines etc.</p>
<p dir="auto">COME ON!<br />
<em>ADRESS</em> bar is for Adresses, not search engines. What the hell, really? How am I supposed to get over this issue??</p>
