Got an information that while we work on proper fix for this it should be enough to disable following settings on opera://settings page "Use a prediction service to help complete searches and URLs typed in the address bar".

Seems to be fixed now - at least, I'm not seeing it in Developer and I was yesterday.

I'm not seeing it on my end now, either. Thank heavens.

It seems like it's back to normal on my side too.

@mgeffro I can confirm it's gone on my browser now.

Reopened as @aquagreen had a pending post - is it working for you also now?

This is still occurring for me in 53.0.2907.106. Was the fix supposed to be available through the stable update stream?

As I understood it, they fix is just some server configuration thing. Possibly you need to close Opera to apply the update.

I shut down opera last night and started using chrome. Just now I started opera back up and noticed that I had a number of new bookmarks in my bookmarks bar: amazon, walmart, ebay, trip advisor, AND, booking.com. I removed it and I haven't seen the issue since.

This is still occurring for me after closing and restarting Opera multiple times within the past 24 hours.

@revenant1 You need to keep Opera opened for about an hour. Did you do that?

Yes, even after being open for several hours I'm still seeing booking.com searches taking over the omnibar when I attempt to type specific URLs/phrases ("dis" and "disc" like I was seeing before, "nyc" and "chi" like other posters in the thread originally reported).

Okay I have to say

1: For me this problem has been resolved and
2: It seems like the folks at Opera responded to user feedback.

Good things.

Seems to be resolved when using Opera on a different machine, though last time I tried it at home I was still getting the booking.com ads in the bar even after restarting the browser several times. I'll give it a try again when I get home later today.
