Where did you find that check list and settings icon?

I enabled the flag as recommended in the previous answers. It worked. After updating to the newest version (101.0.4843.25), the settings icon appeared.

Several months prior to posting this topic, I have been sending multiple suggestions to Dev team through this tiny feature, telling them to make search suggestions optional:

But the search option settings were added several hours after I posted this topic.

I think Opera enables this automatically for random users. I've always had to enable the flag myself though.

PayPal

Opera shows mid-market rates. PayPal does transactions, with a buy/sell rate.

The two will never be the same. PayPal also has fees.
