I would like to change the search engine to Ecosia. However, in the configuration, it only lets me change the search engine between the ones it has by default. He does not let me select any position on my own. What I can do?

@Adrian43 Nothing. As you have noticed, only pre-configured search engines can be set as default.

I was wondering how to remove the google search bar. I have selected duckduckgo as default but it still shows google over speed dials.

My PC has been going really slow lately, and when I check in Task Manager there is like 9 instances of Opera running, but I only ever have one Browser open at a time... is this normal?? Seems like they are using a lot of my PC's Memory too, which might be slowing down my PC... help??

OS: Windows 10
Version: Regular Opera for Widows with latest Update

@kriz24 Yes, that's normal. That is how Chromium based browsers work.

@leocg Ok, but they are still there when I'm not on Opera and they are using a LOT of my Memory... I mean, it fluctuates, but still pretty high even when it's lower.

@kriz24 If they are still running ater Opera has been closed, then probably had issues closing those processes. Just end them.

I can change the search-engine in opera-settings, but google remains on the quickstart page. Also, is the no way to delete searchengines ? I like to get rid of some.

And no, you can't remove the pre-defined search engines.

I had to manually create it as a search engine, but I can't seem to find a way to make it my default one for search bar. Any help would be appreciated

@kyuur Only pre-defined search engines can be set as default.
