I don't want it. I'm used to using browser for conversion from imperial to normal and vice versa. I do this a lot and I am used to seeing the result in a very specific part of my screen (brain automation). This functionality forces me to change the way I use my browser and I waste time on thinking "why on Earth don't I see my conversion result?" just to realise Opera is showing something and preventing me from seeing what I want by hitting enter.
It also doesn't work as well as google for conversion as it doesn't recognize comma as a decimal sign. Instead of recognizing something is wrong it just displays an incorrect result.

How do I turn it off? I can't find it in the settings menu.

Disabling Enhanced address bar and/or Address bar dropdown categories stops this annoying "feature" that breaks the behavior of the search bar for now. You can disable those settings under opera://flags/.

I say and/or because this seems to be changing. The first setting used to be enough to get rid of the unit converter, but that stopped working. Disabling the second one works for me currently.

Yes. It goes back again after it has been fixed. It's too annoying especially when converting currencies.
