Opera developer 27.0 introduced DuckDuckGo as a new default search engine.

Not only did this delete my Webster's Dictionary search, it also made it impossible to reassign the "d" keyword back to what I am used to. This is the second time Opera did this to me after replacing "y", which I had been using to search YouTube for years, with Yahoo.

There are other issues, such as Wikipedia and Google defaulting to their local versions instead of the English ones, ignoring the system locale and Opera language settings.

That makes for a total of four cases where I have to use different keywords than I would like to:

• yt instead of y Youtube because of Yahoo,
• wd instead of d Webster's Dictionary because of DuckDuckGo,
• we instead of w for en.wikipedia.org, and
• gc instead of g for google.com.

To keep them somewhat similar to their domains, these all turned out to be two-letter keywords. You can probably imagine that these sites are among my top searches and how often I still end up on the wrong site. It is frustrating.

Please fix the language issue and make it possible to change the keywords of default search engines.

Tabs can already be closed by middle click.

For both consistency and convenience, middle clicks on tab bar next to active tabs should open new tabs.

Thank you.

Sometimes sites embed others, while you really want them in a new tab. It would be helpful if, for frames, "open in new tab" would be available from right-click menu.

Copy address should refer to the embedded frame, not the one in the address bar.

Thank you.

Chromium uses Shift+Esc.

Popular extension (2+ million downloads) Translate no longer works with latest Opera developer 32.0.1899.0.

Translation bar does not show up on any website.

Options page shows endless loading animation:

I tested fresh USB installation with no other extensions.

Can anyone confirm?

As the extension has not been modified in a year, is there anything Opera did to cause the problem, and could do to fix it?

Open the properties of Opera shortcut at task bar, desktop, start menu, wherever you start it from. Under target, at the very end after launcher.exe, add --enable-smooth-scrolling. And please let us know if it works for you.

Opera 12.17 was released as a security update over 12.16 in April 2014, while Opera Mail 1.0 has not been updated since June 2013. May I assume that it was it not affected by those vulnerabilities?

Die Paneele gibt es seit der Version 29 wieder. Vielleicht möchtest du diese Beta einmal antesten.

Leider scheint Opera die Entwicklung der Panels aber ausschließlich auf Erweiterungen von Dritten auslagern zu wollen. Wie es daher um deren Qualität oder Einheitlichkeit bei der Bedienung bestellt sein wird, bleibt abzuwarten. Zudem wird man bei so Sachen wie Bookmarks, Verlauf oder den von dir angesprochenen Notizen jeweils 2-4 Alternativen testen müssen.

Both the latest stable 28.0.1750.51 and developer 30.0.1835.5. qBittorrent v3.1.12.

I use Microsoft Security Essentials under Windows 7, if that is relevant.

Steps to reproduce:

1. Set up qBittorrent to automatically add torrents from a certain folder.
2. Use Opera to download a .torrent file to that folder.

What happens:

qBittorrent adds the torrent and deletes the .torrent file as expected.

But Opera appears red in task bar, and the download list shows "interrupted: virus scan failed" under the file.

What should happen:

The virus scan should complete before qBittorrent or any other program in a similar situation is allowed to access the file.

Suggested solution:

Downloads are named .opdownload while loading. Keep this extension for the virus scan.

For email purposes, is there any reason to use one over the other?

Was this meant to be a follow-up question?

what does Yandex have to do with your browsing?

According to this post, Yandex is where Opera sends your browsing activity to check for fraud and malware sites.

The only way to prevent this is to block sitecheck2.opera.com in your firewall or hosts file.
