@hasiok So your default search engine is Google but when you type something in address bar to do a search, you get results on Yahoo?

@hasiok Strange. Did you check if Google is really your default search engine? When you start typing something to do a search, what logo/favicon shows up in the left of address bar?

I have the same issue. Google is selected as my defualt browser but it still searches in Yahoo. Even when I type in the search bar at the top of the "Speed Dial" page, which has the Google Icon next to it it still searches in Yahoo. I've tried chaning it back and forth but no luck.

I've also noticed something else strange. Whenever I search something it closes the tab and opens another tab to the left of the previous tab (if I have multiple open). Idk if this is in some way related.

After updating Opera GX, whenever i use the search bar it searches using Yahoo instead of Google, despide Google being set as the default search engine. In addition, going to google.com and searching from there takes me to a Yahoo result page. Resetting the Opera settings fixed the issue, however the issue has returned in less than a week.

Any extensions? By itself, Opera couldn't be sending searches from Google's homepage to Yahoo, so either an extension or external program is doing it.
