        @tabiz Switching? If you type "g opera browser" (using the search keyword for Google) Yahoo still comes up? Perhaps some malware or adware edited your HOSTS file?

          @tabiz You probably got a malware, disable all extensions and check your system with an antivirus and Malwarebytes.

                @tabiz Malwarebytes is a tool to scan your system for malware.
