I have selected duckduckgo as my default search engine. However, when i open the Opera browser a box with the Google logo and "search the web" is present in the window. It is true there is also a box where I can select duckduckgo (which I always choose), but why must the box with Google always come up at the top of the browser.
Can I do anything to eliminate the Google box?
Thanks

@daveosaurus-rex You can turn off the search in Speed dial. Go to Settings > Advanced > Browser and in the Start page section enable Hide search box.

On my Android smart phone I created links to web pages using the 'Add to home screen feature', and grouped them. I have over a hundred stock links. Independantly I also have bookmarked and grouped web pages on my pc Opera browser. I am maintaining both. How can I syncronize this so that what I have on my Android appears in pc Web Opera browser and vice versa? Be nice if they can be grouped into one and syncronized.
Thanks. -

@tgarden See https://help.opera.com/en/latest/features/#sync
Basically you go to Other Speed Dials in both.

@danikastanley That's normal, it's probably just Opera promoting a partner site.

Hello. This morning I discover in my fast access a link as a favorite from/about the Unicef!
How can you explain that, please? -

Hi, I've just switched to Opera due to ongoing problems with the very resource-heavy Firefox but with just one tab open in my Windows 10 version of Opera, task manager shows 13 incidences of Opera processes open and running! This is actually worse than Firefox was..... What is Opera doing to and with my PC that is beyond just giving me access to the internet?
Thanks in advance for your views

Hi!
I syncronized my browser data, and I reinstalled my pc. How can i resync the data on the reinstalled pc? My usual method is that I copy the opera folder from the app local and roaming folders and the copy them back when the installation is done, but this time it won't copy everything back.
How can i get back those things from the cloud?Can someone help me?
Thanks! -

@leocg When I log in to sync, it syncs my new installation and it replaces the old one. I tried it and I lost all my opened tabs from before the reinstall. I want to retriev the old data not replace it.

@goultysoul I understood that you had no data in the new install.

@leocg I can see my synced data when I log in, I just can't retriev it, just overwrite it.

@leocg No. I only see them when i log in to opera.com. and there is a menu for "See your syncronized data".

@goultysoul Are you logged in to Sync in the new installation? Not the site but the service.

I'm trying to add various search engines to use as a default search engine. I've added Dogpile, Swisscows, etc, but I cannot find a way to make that the default browser. All I see for options are the biased search engines I want to avoid - Google, Bing, etc. Is there some trick to getting Opera to set a default search engine I actually want to use?
