Do more on the web, with a fast and secure browser!
Download Opera browser with:
That's an intelligent and respectful response. I appreciate it. Sorry if I may have overreacted a bit about the issue, but I get upset easily about these kind of things.
However since I will be reinstalling my OS, downgrading back to windows 7 (can't stand win 8, it frustrates the hell out of me), I might give Opera another go then.
And it's a pity, because the browser is faster than Firefox, and I did like the look of the speed dial.
Thanks for the solution, but it shouldn't have to be done this way. It should be a basic option in the menus. In fact it shouldn't be an issue in the first place. Just shows to me how "great" Opera is, and I bet this wouldn't be the last problem I would have, and since I'm not advanced in technical matters (like most people) enough to figure out stuff like editing "Local State" file by myself, and I don't want to be asking for help every time something goes wrong, I will be avoiding this browser for now.
As for the Opera developers. Sort your sh*t out. You are losing users, with BS like this!
Of course as well all people who prefer .com version of google search...
Default Google search is in the wrong language, (it's not .com and it's not even in English), and there is no way to change it manually. After having some problems with Chrome, and not wanting to use IE, I decided to give Opera a try. Looks like it was a waste. I mean how stupid do the developers of software have to be to lock to a default search engine in a language lots of potential users will not understand. I realize that it is location based, but since I live in a country with more than one official language, you might realize how stupid that system is. You also alienate all people who travel often, and basically all minorities. Thanks for nothing Opera.
