      @auxce And how those requests ended up in your webserver?

        The URL doesn't exist so on my webserver, it's just an example. And I didn't even send the request, I just typed in the URL letter for letter in the address bar. But even if I type an existing URL, Opera sends a GET request for each single letter typed in.

          What is the behavior in other Chromium based browsers? Any difference if opera://flags/#reborn-3-dropdown and/or opera://flags/#opera-doh are disabled?

            Looks like autosuggest, if you don't want it then pick a search engine that doesn't offer suggestions.

              No, I don't think it is autosuggest, otherwise the queries would have been sent to the search engine. This is bad behaviour IMHO and it smells like a bug or a debug setting which has not been switched off during compile time. It also sends the URL's found in the history drop down.

                @leocg said in Stop opera from sending urls while typing:

                opera://flags/

                Just a quick test: it seems to stop when reborn-3-dropdown is disabled. Opera-doh is disabled by default.

                  It definitively is the reborn-3-dropdown setting, when switching it on, the issue occurs.

                    It's a known issue. Bug DNA-82557.

                      Disabling #reborn-3-dropdown does indeed the trick.

                      This needs to be fixed. As said above, it's very dangerous. There are lots of sites doing dangerous stuff (deleting stuff, sending e-mails, etc.) through GET parameters.

                        Hello, I have a huge problem.
                        Opera requests every single recommendation and what I type in the address bar.
                        I just wrote "https://goldenarmy.eu/opera", and this is my server log:

                        This uses way to much traffic, and can cause things that shouldn't be requested with every single letter to break.
                        For example, when I write a register link of my site, because I don't have a front-end yet, I would create like 20 accounts while writing the url...
