@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?

@looking4help Only pre-defined search engines can be set as the default one.

This is one of those topics that may have to be approached "from both sides", i.e., from the Opera side and the Startpage side.
I am trying to make Startpage my default search engine. I add it to the list of search engines, but, the option to make it default is greyed out.
Any thoughts?
Latest version of Opera Version:84.0.4316.31 (x86_64).
Mac Pro running OS 10.14.6.
Thanks.

It looks like Opera is not going to be my go to browser. Thanks anyway. Best regards, wnlewis

For years now every so often I've noticed websites are somehow adding themselves to my speed dial. For instance, just 10 minutes ago I noticed that "Unicef: something, something ukraine" has been added to my speed dial; never visited it before or even googled Ukraine on this computer.
What gives? Is there an option somewhere to turn this stuff off? It's become irritating enough that if I can't stop this from happening I'll most likely find a new browser, as much as I enjoy Opera.

How do I make Ecosia my default search engine? I've tried adding it under Manage Search engines but it does not seem to want to move up to the suggested engines.

@lavanyadeepak-0 The site is guessing your location wrongly.

7syntax-error last edited by 7syntax-errorI added my own preferred search engine under "Other search engines" however the browser doesn't allow me to set it as the default search engine. The option to click to select the search engine as default is greyed out. I have posted three screenshots below of the browser search engine issue and a third with system information and browser information at the end of the post.
Steps to reproduce:
1.) Add a search engine that isn't included in Opera Browser by default.
2.) Attempt to set as default. (Not possible.)Expected behavior:
1.) I should be able to set any search engine I add as the default search engine so that when I type into the search box at the top-right of the browser or in the address bar box it will use the search engine I added and specified.
