      Opera (ver 12.16 Build 1860) worked normally - for example: searched in google the word "drum" > clicked on the link "photos" and there were big photos side by side > clicked one of them, browser showed bigger photo with "next" and "previous" option. Normal.
      Then on a nice day (Opera made a kind of upgrade?) by clicking on the link "photos" it started to show kind of thumbnails and clicking one of them directs to photo's homepage.
      Is there a way to turn this behaviour back to normal?

      Thanks,
      Mac.

        Google blocks the real Opera browser (v. 12.x and earlier versions) and provides Opera with a simplified versions of its web-pages (including search engine) with a lot of missing functionality.

        It can be fixed with selective masking of Opera for google's pages.

        • Find your Opera's profile folder (type opera:about as an url in the Opera's address field and look for the path in "Opera directory"). Remember it.

        • Close Opera

        • Go to your Opera's profile catalog("Opera directory" path from the opera:about) using file manager

        • Open override.ini with a text editor

        • Add at the end of [Overrides] section these strings:

        plus.googleapis.com

        plus.google.com

        apis.google.com

        google.com

        google.XX

        (NOTE: where XX is a national domain of your country. For an example, ".fi" - Finland etc. DO NOT INSERT this note into ini file!)

        • Then add at the end of the override.ini file:

        [plus.googleapis.com]

        User Prefs|Custom User-Agent=Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_10; rv:33.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/33.0 Opera 12.16

        [plus.google.com]

        User Prefs|Custom User-Agent=Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_10; rv:33.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/33.0 Opera 12.16

        [apis.google.com]

        User Prefs|Custom User-Agent=Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_10; rv:33.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/33.0 Opera 12.16

        [google.XX]

        User Prefs|Custom User-Agent=Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_10; rv:33.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/33.0 Opera 12.16

        (NOTE: where XX is a national domain of your country. For an example, ".fi" - Finland etc. DO NOT paste this note into ini file!)

        • Save changes and launch Opera

        • Now you can use a fully functional Google search engine

        p.s. There is another solution with a global masking via opera:config parameter(custom user-agent). Do not use it! It can cause more problems than fixes!

          I accidentally skipped one line but can't edit the original post.

          Also you should add at the end of the override.ini file these strings:

          [google.com]

          User Prefs|Custom User-Agent=Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_10; rv:33.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/33.0 Opera 12.16
