      Hello,
      I can't set Google as my default search engine in Opera mobile because it's missing, is this intentional?

        @maxiu Depending on where you are, I guess it can be.

                @maxiu Ignore what I said, I forgot that this is about Opera for Android.

                I guess there's no way to bypass it.

                  For anyone interested I found a way to add Google as a new search engine...
                  Go to Google.com type something in the search field, tap it and you're offered to add Google as new search engine, now tap address bar, then the icon of your currently default search engine and change it to Google.

                  If I might add this is kinda stupid, why wouldn't you just allow it to be selected in settings?
