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.

Are you currently running any experiments?

At the moment, the only way to tell is to scroll through that long list and watch out for entries that are not set to "default", or, for those that only have a button, are enabled.

Similar to opera://extensions/ or opera://plugins/, it would be helpful if experiments could be filtered down to show only active (i.e., non-default) or inactive (i.e., default) entries.

Thank you.
