      What am I doing right now?

      I'm trying to figure out how to stop google from hijacking my search engines, I use startpage and/or duckduckgo for my Default/Speed Dial search engine (using opera 12.17/1863; I'm working on eliminating google spy on the most part) I have google updates turned off and have and continue to delete google in the Search Preference settings, but google keeps coming back and hijacks the Default and Speed Dial engines (google seem to do it's nasty hijack with a Opera reboot)

      Any of my fellow Opera users have any suggestion how to stop this?

        Start a topic in "Opera for Windows" - if you're on Windows.
        I'm on my 11.63 right now, readying to watch a movie.

            Gonna watch River of No Return now...:left:

            Listening to The Arrow in the meantime...
            This stream's drawback is that they don't send any metadata along - such as what song etc.

              Updated my Java.
              It opened my Opera (the Chrome was open, plus a player), then, when I tried to go to the first left, spare tab, it hung.
              In case that's more than an occasional quirk, I'm considering maybe to try some other installation.

                Listening to a Scottish station with my newly upgraded Foobar2000.

                Guys, I have a word for you.
                See, when some of you tend to complain, sometimes even whine that the browser's not good enough, you're right. However, for one, I've used lots of software, including browser Opera, while I can't ever remember giving anybody any money for that.
                Not that I could argue against complaining, feedback. I only want us to remember. I, personally, would even like to thank the people who gave me Foobar. For free. To enjoy.
                Opera, Mozilla, Google Chrome... They have never sent me a bill for their product.:)

                  It occurred to be an OS memory lack.
                  Today I eventually learned that the software may consume up to 5GB for their current operations. On hard. When Windows said it couldn't pee due to a ZERO space for its virtual memory, I resorted to that learning and then undug some GigaPiles in places...

                    Checking low bitrate stations on a radiofeeds site.

                      Listening to Phonic FM: "Roots and Shoots".
                      It's a station in Exeter. Look what they've got on schedule:

                      22:00 – 00:00
                      Blunt Tools!
                      Shambolic blathering and ‘amusing’ features from Frotter and sporadic guest Tools Jimlove, Stoveboy, Helen, Scarysalad et al. Listen out for top notch, expensive jingles by ‘Shirley Manson’! Listen again link posted on our BookFace page here.

                        Today I uploaded a movie to YouTube. In minutes it got blocked.
                        Of course...
                        It was "Idiocracy".
                        I know authors must eat, etc., but that means the idea should gonna be only realised by the minority who watches films for money?
                        Plus it's "comedy". Or maybe it's "on the other hand"?
                        Who watches comedies? Morons do, I mean outnumbering others.
                        Is it good or bad? Imagine a moron having watched this - now he's gonna **ck less or what? Not that simple: 1) he is a moron and he won't realise anything, 2) he's not - in this case he doesn't need to... Right, what? The non-moron should do something?
                        What? Go outside with a HUGE pair of scissors? Nah.. well, if you say so...

                                    Rainspa, I can't see any video.
                                    Check the "blocked content" warning in the right of the address field (Opera 23). The video link is in HTTP while the forums are served via HTTPS to logged users.

                                      You must be right - now I noticed the shield in the address bar.

                                      I'm fine, though. I have other browsers to handle that, while in Chrome video became quirky some time ago, so I stopped using it for video altogether (short clips on Facebook though).

                                            Just tried a car racing game in another source.
                                            The thing is that I can't normally browse while playing such flash games: for example, forums.opera.com would load for ages.
