Stop opera from sending urls while typing

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...
