Ecosia.org as the default search engine

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

When I add SpeedDial bookmarks to one computer say Computer A, I expect to see the same set of speedial on a different computer (Computer where bookmarks syncing is turned on.

However, as it is now, we get 2 sets of SpeeDial folders in Bookmarks, one for computer A and another for computer B. If I'm on computer B, I have to navigate to Bookmarks, then go to Bookmarks for computer A, and choose what I need. This is crazy!

Synched Speedial bookmarks between computers should be transparent. If I add a new speedial in A, I should automatically see it in B or C or D, if same user is logged on and syncing is turned on. Without the additional steps of navigating to a different bookmarks folder.

Am I missing something here?? Thanks in advance!!

@atangyp Nope, that's how it works. if you want, you can copy the content of other speed dials to your current Speed Dial.

@leocg OK no worries. Since I posted, I've found others postings similar to mine. Other users having similar problem and also requested this be added as a feature to Opera Browser. To allow us the option to sync Speed Dial across different computers. Since this feature is still not yet available till now, I assume that Opera is not interested in doing this at all. Will look at other browsers. Thanks.

Hello there! I got problem with Opera Search, when the first word in the searched sentence is "w", Opera automatically searches Wikipedia. How to turn off this thing, because it`s really annoying to me.

Thanks for help

Hello, i'm new here and need some help. I have a Mac running on Osx El capitan 10.11.6 and can't upgrade it to a newest version because it's too old. my version of Opera is Version :74.0.3911.107. I just want to know how i can put Quant as my favorite search engine instead of Google or others. I have tried to ad Quant in the search engine list but i dont understand the % request and i don't understand how to ad Quant in the default choice list of search engine. Sorry for my english, i'm french...
ave a nice day

Hi, even though I change the search engine in Opera settings, only the address bar search engine changes, the search bar is still Google. How do I change it?

Hello, is it possible to sync speed dials between devices?

I can't seem to work out how to do that and this must surely be a feature, right?

@gisteren As said several times, speed dials are synced but not automatically populated, you need to do it manually.

I have synced my devices, and have enabled flow on my laptop. When I sync, I see all the speed dials. But the icon of a computer screen with a plus does not show on the laptop speed dial to allow me to add another device's speed dial.

How do I add this icon?

I have the latest version of opera-stable on my laptop.

TIA

@fherman In desktop versions, there is a folder in Bookmarks named "Other speed dials", there will be a folder there named for the ID of your device(s).

@sgunhouse I only see Speed Dial in Bookmarks. Not other speed dials. The folder Speed Dial contains the current bookmarks on the home screen.

@fherman You need to open the full bookmarks manager page, the panel will not show that folder.

Whenever I download an attachment e.g. to an email, the download seems to work but the Opera icon on my taskbar turns red and stays red until I close Opera. The download content seems OK.
