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.

@7syntax-error Not a bug as a search would had told you.
Only pre-defined search engines can be set as the default one.

@leocg Thank you. I never thought a browser would restrict what search engines we can set so searching never crossed my mind. I didn't think any browsers restricted that and I did think it was a bug.
Just to be clear, I wasn't trying to change the search engine on the Start Page, I was trying to change the search engine to a custom one I added in the address bar and search bar, not the Start Page.Regards.

I was wondering why there is no Home button added to Opera Browser so we can go back to our home page like all other browsers out there.

Hi,
I am using Opera Window latest version. I want to set the search engine in the new tab page to Duckduckgo but I can't find it in the settings.
What can I do?

@tachib-shin As said many times, it's not possible to change the start page search engine.

Adding a new search engine, no problem. Making that search engine the default, the option is greyed out. Am I doing something wrong or is adding Metager https://metager.org/meta/meta.ger3?eingabe=%s as the default search engine not possible?

Hello. Pressing Alt opens the Opera menu, which is very annoying when working in Figma, when you want to see the indents between elements (also done using Alt). I've disabled all keyboard shortcuts, but it didn't help. What can be done?

I am trying to change the search engine to Duckduckgo, i can see where to change it and i'd told it's the default search engine but still the google one is still there. Ideally i would like to delete google.
