      @leocg yeah I figured out this just after I posted, but initially I didn't find any relevant post mentioning the copy/paste way to do this.

        [opera://settings/searchEngines](link url)
        And it is not added to the Dropbox, here Search engine used in the address bar

          @mikola123 As known, only pre-defined search engines can be set as default.

            Hello, is there a way to hide the google search bar on the main page? I have set DuckDuckGo as my main search so I do not want to see the Google search bar on my main page. Thank you for all help! Cheers....

                  @rpwsalw It's Gmail itself that is changing the language. Disable the VPN or change the language in Gmail's settings.

                    Maybe I'm missing something here but I don't seem to be able to do this other than drag each link from

                    https://www.sync.opera.com

                    Can't we just block on the correct one and install the saved speed dial like on the Android version?

                      @colej2k Check Other Speed Dials in the bookmarks manager page, opera://bookmarks.

                      Copy the itens from there to Speed Dial if you want to see them in the current Speed Dial.

                        The Opera icon is always active in Windows 10 taskbar, and I don't know why. There are no pending notifications that I can observe.

                        Any idea?

                          @yakichan It means a broken download in your downloads list. Clean it.

                              I believe there's a 'control and something' that will exit full screen when browsing. Escape doesn't work. Any ideas?

                                @davidr1 F11 is the universal key to enter/exit full screen mode, usually.

                                    @dying0 You can't use mp4, you need to use webm or webp.

                                    See https://dev.opera.com/articles/making-animated-themes/ for more info on how to create an animated wallpaper.

                                      Where do I find the file(s) with the bookmarks and the tabs?
                                      My Opera crashed and I have only my hard drive to download the respective files.

                                          Hello, I ran into a problem.
                                          Reinstalled windows and found the lack of history, settings, passwords and bookmarks.
                                          Is it possible to return everything if it was not synchronized with the account? I mean there is a history cache file on my computer.

                                            @dementr For history, settings and bookmarks, you can use your backup. Passwords can onlt be restored through Sync or by importing them after have exported those passwords to a csv file.
