@leocg Hello I Wonder why can't you change it? if you select a other default search engine It should be a right for it to change and not just force you to use Google. like if I want to use duckduckgo it should change too duckduckgo instead of Google I mean do you agree or disagree that it should change? If not why?

I am trying to both:
a) delete some of the default search engines I never want to use even by accident,
and b) change my default search engine to a custom input.Regarding A, I simply don't see an option to delete them anywhere, but I'm sure it must be doable somehow?
Regarding B:
I've added a custom search engine for Ecosia (my preferred search), as seen below.
However, when I go to try and change the default browser to Ecosia, it only give the options of the default ones (including, as mentioned, ones I would like to delete)
How do I set it to the custom search engine? (I've also tried installing the Ecosia extension like I used on FF/Chrome, but it seems to be having no effect..)

@tigercule Not possible, only pre-defined search engines can be set as the default one.
And pre-defined search engines can't be removed. -

@leocg Ah, that's unfortunate then. That kind of kills my desire to use the browser, and I'm sure I'm not the only one. Not trying to be a "waaah cater to me" kind of person here, but that's a feature set it may be worth considering if not already on a docket. Thank you for the answer regardless, and I hope you have a lovely day.

@brayden-gx That's expected and can't be turned off.
It's the URL/Address of the link, something that may be very helpful when the link is a word or an image.
Other browsers have it too. -

How do I put my custom animation in the background of the Opera GX browser
Open Opera and go to opera://themes .
On the left hand side menu, click on Create your theme.
Enter relevant details and select the WebM or animated WebP file you want.
Click on the Create button. -

However I need to synchronize my bookmarks, history, saved accounts ect across different pc's and my phone. Especially now because I need to reset my laptop, so how do I go about doing so? Ive followed all the steps for the phone synchronize but it just hasnt worked and there is minimal options for that. Any help would be appreciated thank you.

@proxy4d You can take a look at www.sync.opera.com.
You can also check if you can see the bookmarks in a different device/installation. -

My Facebook games have their own search bars in the games for us to use in navigating game function during play. The devs tell me the auto fill is coming from my browser and they can't control that.
Please, I want to shut this malfunctioning feature off so bad. Is there a way to do it?
If I mistyped a search term it saves it like that and forever I have this stupid term mispelled coming up.
There's also things I only needed to look for once, and now it's there for Ever! forever! forever! until I clear cache and cookies.
The drop down of choices for this auto fill is also in the way of seeing what I"m typing and the dumb thing also gets in the way of positioning the cursor in the box if I have to put the focus back on the box (because games).
It also covers other things and makes my game harder to get through as efficiently as I used to. Sometimes I need to see what is under that drop down because the game searches as you type and the results are there without submitting, and the drop down is covering the results.
So it's like some auto fill function that builds its own library of stuff I've searched for in that specific search bar. I have several on a screen at once, and each populates a different drop down Say like the neighbors search collects people's names I've typed before, but the shop only has products I've searched for. So each of these boxes are compiling their own unique libraries.
So somewhere there has to be a way to clear the compiled libraries or X out a bad one I don't want on the list anymore. Or just shut the function off for these games, it isn't useful and it partiall covers the seach bar so I have half the area to click my cursor back in to refocus on the box again if a pop up disrupted my typing (because games)
and the drop down covers results I need to see
because the game devs laready made their search bars funcitonal enough to suit the purposes of the game
I'd like to shut these OFF pleazzzzzzz! -

@myiiadoredu You can select the mistyped entry and remove it by clicking on the X on the right or using Shift + Del.
