@misterlupin As known and said several times, Chromium (Opera is a Chromium based browser) is multi-process and that's why you see several processes running even with just a few tabs opened. There is a process for the browser itself, one for each tab, one for each extension, one for the GPU process, one for the audio process, one for network process, etc, that you can see by going to menu > developer> task manager.

It would be really nice to get the topic title fixed to read, "The topic for things that were answered/discussed lots of times already".
Please fix the title. Thank you.

I'm miffed that there appears to be no way to do this.
Having a prefix is nice - when I can use the prefix... but, not all contexts allow me to do that.
If I wanna right-click -> search, I need it to search with Startpage. Every context that I want to search, unless I go out of my way to do a manual search, I want to use Startpage.
Opera is apparently restricting users from adding their own default search engine:
https://help.opera.com/en/latest/search/#defaultSearchEngine
Why? Does Opera make money from the already-listed search engines, and are told that no other ones can be set as a default by users? What kind of an alternative is that to other browsers? That sure sounds like Opera the browser is under the thumb of some search engines...

This was probably requested several times already, but please bring back the option to put tab bar in the bottom of the browser. Please look back to some of the features present in OG Opera that we all loved and miss. I can't stress this enough, I moved on to Firefox because of the Chromium takeover and later on to Yandex, which is a Chromium Opera fork (that does have that option) and I really want to come back to Opera... Mainly at work because I'm a developer and I want my Firefox and Chrome there as clean as possible for testing my software, while using another browser for the daily work (there is no point in testing in Opera anymore because it's just yet another Chromium anyway)

How can I remove the google search bar on the speed dial page, or better yet, how can I replace it with DuckDuck Go?
Also, is there not a Home button that can be placed on the toolbar?

@emseabrook As already said, search engine in start page can be hidden but can't be changed.
And Opera doesn't even have a home page.

@emseabrook there is. But Opera's home page is the Speed Dial, so the button you are looking for is the Speed Dial button

Greetings, I want to deactivate the automatic updates of the Opera browser, this is because I am in an area where I connect via mobile data, so my MB is quite limited.
