<![CDATA[Change default search engine problem]]>For the search engines I created, the "make default" is greyed out. Can this be fixed somehow?

But I could have been clearer, that's true.

  1. You may have chosen Ecosia as your search engine, then you may set „e“ as prefix before every search in your address bar.
  2. You could also set ecosia.org or whatever search you like as your „homepage“ in Opera.
  3. You could also create a shortcut to Ecosia e.g. to your speed dial.
  4. You could add a search engine‘s extension to Opera.

If it will change in the future, only time will tell
