      When i type out a full url (www.youtube.com), it just makes a google search instead of going to the actual url typed. This seems to just start recently. Is there a setting to change that?

        @technicalgamer Seems to happen only with YouTube and only if you type the whole address.

          @technicalgamer I have a similar issue.

          Before the last update, when I typed "you" it went to youtube no problem.
          Now when I type "you" it just goes to google search. It's getting really annoying.
          Funny that when I start to type it it shows me the address "youtube.com" but it searches it instead of going to the site.

          I tried with severals sites, and it appears its just youtube, both on Opera GX and Opera (normal). Since I mainly use youtube, I might switch back to Chrome until this is fixed.

            @frostcap Here it happens only in Opera GX.

            If you look at the address bar, you will see that when you type "you", it auto completes to youtube.com but the focus is on the search for You.

            As a workaround, press tab after have type you and before pressing enter.
