Please add Brave search engine in Opera Android Browser and Opera Mini (android).
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.opera.browser
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.opera.mini.native

If possible, please also add these search engine to desktop versions of Opera too. Thank you.

https://search.brave.com/ is similar to Duckduckgo and Startpage, it is also privacy focused. The difference is that Startpage.com uses Google's engine, Duckduckgo uses Bing's and Brave Search uses an engine of its own.

Thank you

@werby You can download and install Aurora Store from F-Droid. It is a copy of PlayStore. You can download everything from PlayStore without a Google account. I think it would be better for you than waiting every APK to be release from all Android apps that you use.

Add "video playing in the background" of Opera Android and Opera Mini'.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.opera.mini.native

Like Brave android browser, I suggest you to add this feature as it allows the user to start watching a certain video on a website in Opera browser, then change tabs in Opera or even hide Opera and then open another app (Whatsapp, Instagram, Twitter,...) and the audio of the video continues to be played, with the control (to go back, to play/pause and to next) through the notification: https://i.imgur.com/Es3gNyO.jpg

This is very good for listening to the video playback from www.youtube.com, for example. But it can be for any website that plays videos like twitter.com, facebook.com, news websites and many others.

Thank you

@rahmad0199-0 The Opera team is small compared to Google Chrome, Microsoft Edge and others. Creating a browser with its own engine is a lot of work, that's why the vast majority of browsers use the Chromium engine. Even Microsoft, with its huge team, preferred to rely on Chromium for Microsoft Edge.

I believe it is much better for the Opera team to make improvements to the Opera browser interface and if it detects bugs in the engine, report it directly to Chromium project, because then the improvement goes to everyone at once in the next engine update (Chrome, Edge, Opera, Brave, Vivaldi and many others). Back in Presto, Opera was too slow. If you detect any bugs or have suggestions in the Chromium engine, report them to the team.

Hello, I use Opera 90.0.4480.48 in a Kubuntu 22.04 64 bits from https://snapcraft.io/opera

I noticed that one of Opera's native lists (opera://settings/adBlockerLists) is incorrect. I am talking about the malware block list.

It is currently pointing to: https://curben.gitlab.io/malware-filter/urlhaus-filter-online.txt

However, if you access the list link, you will see that it goes to the Gitlab login page (https://gitlab.com/users/sign_in), therefore, I believe this list is no longer available.

I suggest replacing this list with the correct list:
https://malware-filter.gitlab.io/malware-filter/urlhaus-filter-online.txt

It is from: https://gitlab.com/malware-filter/urlhaus-filter

Thank you

Please support DNS over HTTPS(DoH) in Opera Android Browser and Opera Mini (android)
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.opera.browser
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.opera.mini.native

@burnout426 I ask to the Opera team to check the link of all other Ad Blocking and Tracker Blocking native lists, as there are native lists that don't show the link to users, so I can't verify if they are online, such as:

Opera ad blocker website fixes;
Easylist;
NoCoin;
Opera tracker blocker website fixes;
EasyPrivacy

Thank you

Just as it is possible in the desktop version of Opera, where the user can add other search engines besides the traditional Google, Bing, DuckDuckgo, Yahoo,… This feature should also exist in Opera Android App and Opera Mini, because in the Android version only It is possible to use one of the search engines that are already pre-registered by Opera team.

Please add the possibility of adding an external search engine.

Please add Startpage and Ecosia search engines in Opera Android Browser and Opera Mini (android).
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.opera.browser
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.opera.mini.native

If possible, please also add these search engines to desktop versions of Opera too. Thank you.

Startpage.com is similar to Duckduckgo, it is also privacy focused. The difference is that Startpage.com uses Google's engine and Duckduckgo uses Bing's.

Ecosia.org donates at least 80% of its income to non-profit organizations that focus on tree reforestation. It uses the Bing engine.

It is currently not possible to select a default search engine for regular windows and another search engine for private windows in Opera android browser and Opera Mini. Example: I want to set Bing as the default search engine in the traditional window and DuckDuckGo as the default search engine in the private windows, for privacy reasons. Today I can't do that as I can only select one default search engine.

As I said:

The only citations about languages are

"Preferred Languages> Websites Will Show Content in Your Preferred Languages, When Possible"

AND

"Spell Check> Use Spell Check For"
Both have my standard language selected and yet Opera continues in English.

It is important to make it clear that my Kubuntu's default language is Portuguese and not English and the other browsers on my computer (Chrome, Firefox, Brave and Edge) are in Portuguese. Only in Opera this bug happens.

@johnbrook I found in this topic https://www.computerhope.com/issues/ch001904.htm#opera

That we need to go to Settings > Advanced > Browser and we will find the Language option.

But, as you can see in the prinscreen, Opera linux does not show it.

Hello, it is not appearing for me in any Opera Browser option how to modify the default English language to another.

The only citations about languages are

The bug happens both in the stable version (93.0.4585.37) and in the beta version (94.0.4606.19) installed via snapstore:

@leocg Hello, thanks for clarifying. I still think it wouldn't be difficult for the Opera team to solve this, because the Chromium code allows this and all browsers based on Chromium allow this, except Opera.

It is not possible to manually activate as default another search engine than the defaults that came with Opera linux desktop, for example, I tried to make Startpage or Ecosia as default and it was not possible.

It is only possible in search engines that you already see installed by default (google, bing, yahoo, duckduckgo, amazon and wikipedia).

@johnbrook Now it is more than 50% of CPU

Opera is using more than 25% CPU in the process "opera --password-store=basic --enable-crashpad" every time I open the browser and it stays open whenever Opera browser is open. It's impossible to use the browser like that.
Kubuntu 22.04 64 bit

@leocg Ok, thank you

@leocg It is not duplicated. The other was posted by me some months ago in another page: Home > Opera for mobile > Suggestions and feature requests

Now I am posting it in: Home > Opera for computers > Suggestions and feature requests
