@Chi-oma Firstly, I apologise; I'm new to this forum and claerly don't understand how it works, or to read it. My fault completely.

In answer to your question: It's easy to turn off the toggle button when following the instructions to do so in Labs, but in fact this does not turn off the 'AI' overview acting when one - or I - do Google searches after this. Rather, when I turn off the toggle switch in Labs, a small 'window' pops up which says that doing so will not stop the overview appearing during Google searches - which left me wondering what function the toggle-switch has if it doesn't do what it seems to offer.

And apologies again if I offended you.

Hello, @Chi-oma

If you read the thread, I think all the information is there in the previous discussion. Others seem to have understood, at least.

Thanks.

@Ahsanzia123 Many thanks; I'll give it a whirl, and yes, I'd wondered if I'd have to switch to another 'brand' in the end.

Much appreciated.

@Chi-oma Following your useful instructions, I switched off the toggle; the information I received on doing this reads: "Turn this experiment on or off. Turning this off does not disable AI overviews in Search outside of Labs."

Any other suggestions?

@leocg The second part of the question from @Halfabee was related to how to disable this automatic 'AI' search result - which I also with to do, knowing the huge data-processing 'footprint', with its consequences; does anyone know how to disable it?

Thanks.

@leocg The difference is that, when Opera is not opened on my Mac, the email link (eg.) opens both the Opera programme with the previous sessions' tabs active, And the email-linked-page in a separate Opera window. And the same happens for each new email-link activated: each one opens in a new/separate new window.

How does one stop this multiplying of windows in Opera when Opera is not initially Open?

Thanks.

@JLM29 Should I take it from the silence that there is no solution to this problem?

Thanks for any confirmation.

@leocg Thanks for the helpful question; it's helped me to clarify the problem.

It occurs when Opera is not open on my system. `if I them click on the link from an email, for example, this opens the Opera window with the open Tabs from the previous session, but the new link (from the email) is opened on a separate Opera window, which appears behind the Opera window with all the previous sessions tabs on.

And if I open several links from emails, for example, when Opera is closed on my system, each of these new links opens in a separate Opera window - hence the problem of multiple windows - each of which opens the next time I open a Opera on my system.

Hopefully this suggests a solution to you.

And thanks again for bothering to respond.

@leocg Opera One(version: 119.0.5497.56) (x86_64)

Thanks.

I have enjoyed using Opera as an alternative to Safari, but there is one problem I can't find a solution to: Opera continually opens multiple windows, when I open links from other websites - rather than simply opening another tab on the Opera Wondow I have open already.

When I opened Opera this morning, for instance, it opened four different windows, which makes managing everyday reading and working very complicated - as well as difficult to organise easily.

I've been through all the Settings several times, and can't find anything which allows me to decide where new links - from other sites, for instance - are opened on my screen.

Thanks for any help.
