      No matter what I look up, it always takes me straight to Amazon. For example, I'll search up "new Demon Slayer season" and it takes me straight to Amazon. I could look up anything and it takes me to Amazon for some reason. It didn't do this before but when I went to the settings just to look at some things, it started doing this, but I didn't change anything that would mess up my search bar like this. Even if I search up "google" it won't take me to Google, but still take me to Amazon. Unless I look up "google.com" then it'll take me to google. The only way I can search things up normally, is if I type a "g" before continuing to search up what I wanted to search. To me personally, that's kind of annoying and I'm wondering if I did something wrong to because it definitely wasn't like this before from what I remember. Please tell me there's a way I can fix this, or change it. Anything, and everything I search up using the address bar it will only take me to Amazon and nothing else, unless I put the "g" first which is annoying because I'll forget to do that and search something normally and it just takes me to Amazon for some reason.

      Thanks for any answers, I really hope there's a fix to this, or I can change it at least.

          @yaddie Is Google set as the default search engine?

            @yaddie I bet if you go to settings, the default search engine was set to Amazon.

            opera://settings/?search=engine

              @leocg Ah, thank you so much. Sorry, I'm not that good when figuring that stuff out and before Google was my default and I didn't change it so I don't know why it changed to Amazon. Thank you so much though!
