Having latest Opera version in use and having selected DuckDuckGo as default search engine, Opera opens the first Tab with DuckDuck as it should But every otrher Tab I open there is no way to Get Rid og Google search........... from the second tab on, only Googlesearch is provided....and I Dont like it, How to get rid of Googlesearch in Opera, provided that any other search engine (DuckDuck in my case) has been correctly selected?

@pascual So you set up DDG as your default search engine, then you open a new tab, search for something in the address bar and the results show up in DDG. However when you open a second tab and do a search in address bar, the results appears in Google?

That's it?

@leocg Yesss correct. Google sneaks in and I cant achieve that every new tab opens as DDG. Crazy, isn´t it? But how can I fix it? I've tried reinstalling Opera, but no luck.
As you see, from second tab on....only google.

@pascual Try resetting your Opera settings, then set DDG as default search engine again. Do a backup first.

@leocg I did it so much times that I have wound fingers. My idea is that it should be sent to Opera team directly, but I have no clue how to do that. Other possibility is that Opera want it to be so, may be they are affraid to piss off google............. In the times running where the bigger wallet rules the system, you never know.

@pascual Did you try with a new clean profile directory?

@leocg I've erased and reinstalled Opera, but no change. I´ll try again but it will be more from the same.

@pascual Here I couldn't reproduce the issue so far, changes to the default search engine are kept.

Shhhh....i´ts a total mistery, I´ll try deleting oprea completely without keeping the settings, clean my comp. with ccleaner, reinstall again and see what happen. I´ts really unnecesary work. But I like Opera, and sadly the creating brains of Opera are out of reach.
