So after todays update I discovered that search engine on start page has been changed. I found on reddit forum 3 years old post that this thing cannont be changed since it's tied with region. That's kind of annoying because for some reason all previous years it was working fine and the setting was the same default search engine. Now I have two different engines - the one on search bar and the one on start page which is kind of stupid. Why can't I use this feature as I want without pushing me to use unwanted search engine?

Is there any way to undo or change this? I looked up for settings but haven't found anything.

Tbh these updates that change and break familiar things are very disturbing

Close Opera (important) and edit the "C:\Users\yourusername\AppData\Roaming\Opera Software\Opera Stable\Local State" file in a text editor and change the country and country_from_server values from whatever codes they're currently set to to US for example.
