@leushino I think everyone should have the right to choose what search engine to use in its browser, it's not that I have Opera to work that way, it's just they way it should work, holy crap, even GOOGLE Chrome allow us to delete Google from the search engines list, besides I don't want to have plugins to be able to use the search engine I want to use nor I want to make one, two or fifty additional clicks because the developers of a browser decided to take away some liberty from us.

@lem729 I understood what was happening to Disconnect, when you type in your search bar it shows Google logo, but after hitting Enter Disconnect overrides the search and uses your default, but the results page is not the normal results page from DDG, it has been modified. Talking about shortcut, DucDuckGo won't work from the omnibox, the "d" shortcut is useless, selecting by clicking the duck face in the omnibox doesn't work either and trying to select a text and right-clicking to Search With DuckDuckGo for Opera will just frustrate anyone. By the way someone tell in this post Opera Team blocked default search engines in the name of security, to avoid default search engine to be hijacked, if it's the case we're seeing a babysitter who take away a dangerous object so you won't harm yourself because of your ignorance.

Thanks to everyone, I really appreciate the feedback, I'm leaving this post and right after that I will uninstall both versions of Opera, I don't need them anymore and they are not enough good for me to use them, and @leushino, I'm not "storming off to find something else", at this historical moment we have too many options to stick with a lesser one, it's sad because I liked so much the Opera concept I have made an effort to use it, I already have installed and tried to use Opera as my main Browser at least 8 times, but I always ended disappointed.

Good bye and good luck to every one.

No, the post you're referring to was supposed to be an analysis between Opera 12.x Vs Opera Next, now I'm asking the developers to put attention to that detail.

Lem I already have the Disconnect addon, but it's not what I'm looking for, besides I DON'T WANT TO INSTALL ANYTHING TO CHOOSE WHAT FREAKING SEARCH ENGINE TO USE in my browser, this should be a feature of any browser, by the way, after my attempt number 8 to begin using Opera as my main browser, I say good bye, in fact after this comment I will uninstall both versions, it makes no sense to have them anymore because this browser does not have what I need and since Opera is a fork of Chromium I don't need it to see if my webpages shows correctly anymore, Presto is dead, so let them update their browsers to display modern webpages, so good bye and good luck.

I don't trust Google anymore and Bing and Yahoo search engines are terrible, I use two anonymous search engines DuckDuckGo and StartPage (Proxy Google) and I'd like to be able to search with them from omnibox by default, I hope you can add this option in the future, you can even add an otion to disable default search engines protection with a big warning in red and capital letters saying "USE IT AT YOUR OWN RISK, I DARE YOU", but the option is needed, what I don't need is a Babysitter protecting me from hijacked search engines.

Hello, I have the DuckDuckGo extension it just add a button aside the omnibox and add the DDG to search engines, but when I type d (shortcut for DDG) it shows me the duck icon and the string to search for but when hitting Enter it does NOTHING, so shortcut does not work for DDG in the omnibox, it does not work even if I select manually with a click DDG, I've also installed Diconnect Addon but it does just the same, it just add a button to my browser but it has no effect in omnibox default search engines.

So I think Opera is dead until I can add my own bloody search engine, my security is my responsibility I don't need a company with babysitter complex to decide what search engines I can use, Opera looks nice but functionality is what I need.

Thanks for your comments.

I was really going to try Opera 22, but I can't change the search engines, I don't use Google anymore and Bing and Yahoo are just poor. I use DuckDuckGo and/or StartPage by Ixquick, if I can't get those as my default search engines this browser in not for me yet.

Ok, thanks, my browser is in spanish and both terms (Off-Road Mode and All-Terrain Mode) are translated as "Modo Todo Terreno".

Where can I find All-Terrain Mode? I am just curious.

If you didn't understand what I said I'll explain it to you, again, my browser is in Spanish it says "Modo Todo Terreno", in english it can be translated as All-Terrain Mode or Off-Road Mode, and both engish terms are translated as Modo Todo Terreno, this is just like you, in english, have the verb "to make" and the verb "to do", both of them are translated as "hacer" in spanish, just one verb to express the two english verbs aforementioned.

I hope this helps you to understand.

Thanks Lem, I love the Stash, very useful.

As a matter of fact I was not an avid user of Opera Browser, I loved the project and its functionality, but it always had problems to show web pages that other browser didn't have. I remember that among the services the Opera Browser had the Opera Unite, Opera Link and Opera Turbo services, as well as the capability to manage userscripts without addons like greasemonkey, I know Chrome/Chromium and derivatives can manage userscripts too, but what about the other features?

I also noted Opera doesn't have bookmarks

Hello I just wanted to know about main differences between Opera 12 and Opera Next, specially about lost, improved and added features, and what of the missing features are in development to add them in later updates. For example, I thought Opera Turbo was lost, today I learned that it's not lost but changed its name to Off-Road Mode.

Thanks
