It is Opera One (117.0.5408.53)

Opera GX does not do that.

I noticed that this only happens when I choose the link with icon in the suggestion box - like this

after that it goes to tatrck

It does not happen when showing this "web" icon. Then it goes without redirection.

It must be related to that suggestion link

@hubga I don't get the first one. Maybe it's from a bookmark/speed dial?

Nope, it is clean Windows with clean Opera.
I wouldn't have almost noticed if I didn't have uBlock ...
(and uBlock is not the cause because it does the same with clean Opera without plugins).

@hubga I am experiencing the same. Not just from suggestions, but also when I type binance.com or tradingview.com to the address bar and press Enter. The browser redirects me to tatrck.com.

I can confirm that there is the same problem with tradingview on my computer.
It is the suggestion with the icon.

As there is the icon, it looks like some affiliate tracking for Opera Software.

I also confirm this behaviour. Opera One on MacOS (version: 117.0.5408.142).

Opera does all it can to motivate people move to other browsers

I‘ve seen this behavior in Opera Android only so far. But lately I‘ve been given suggestions to web sites in the address bar that don‘t stem from history nor from bookmarks.

@marinaz909 Belarus.
But it behaves the same with external VPN as well (Germany, Poland, Netherlands)

I‘d guess that‘s a way they‘re trying to make some money.

The problem is gone. It seems someone read it and silently removed this super feature

It is not solved. It is happening again ... with even more sites now!

Hi guys,

I am having this issue too.

It appears to be a virus of some sort embedding itself within suggested links.

Not seeing any harmful effects so far, but concerned on what data it is reading.

To clarify, this is not an opera specific thing, but is affecting multiple browsers, including brave and chrome
