@PeterLanky I agree, I do not like work arounds. Currently my solution is to uninstall version 68 which is the faulty one, and to use version 67 which works correctly. I have had to stop the auto update which works most of the time b7ut it still tries to update. In fact as I write this it asked if I wanted to update.

From what I have found there was a change between versions 67 and 68 that stopped the location from working correctly.

Hopefully someone in Opera will see this and rectify it.

I would like to join in this conversation. I have checked the local state file and it is set to English Uk and GB, I have deleted the cookies, I have also uninstalled Opera cleaned all of the folders cleaned the registry restarted then reinstalled Opera. It still defaults to Google.com.

So far as I can tell this problem started with the last update.

Please help with a solution.
