Why is there still no choice on a non-US search engine for the default? Opera on my mobile has Qwant, how hard is it to add Qwant or Ecosia?

@andrew84 I was referring to the default search engine choices in Vivaldi. I didn't get as far as the right click menu as I didn't use Vivaldi for other things I found.

@andrew84 I get a small popup automatically and don't have to go through the right click, find search, find the right search engine. This is something other browsers have done without waiting.

@pweiden You're right, the shortcut is problematic. The issue I have most often is that when you use a search not generated from the address bar, such as with the popup when you highlight something on a page, it uses the default only, there is no way to insert the shortcut.

This shouldn't be that difficult to add, and I considered switching to Vivaldi but I don't really like it.

How difficult can it be to add Qwant and Ecosia to the search engine choices? A lot of us are moving to EU products as much as possible and would prefer a search engine that is not coming out of the US.

Ecosia and Qwant need to be added to the search engine list. It's easy to forget to type the letter before and the search for highlights won't go to them anyway. Kind of surprising for a European company, a lot of us are moving away from US software as fast as we can.

@ralf-brinkmann How would you know? It doesn't show up in the list of extensions. It just started working for me without anything being done on my part. I don't have auto-update turned on.

@ralf-brinkmann I didn't have to do anything, it automatically updated and works fine.

@ralf-brinkmann You don't need a new build.

@nashuim: I can't find it anywhere.

@nashuim: Good point, happens when I try to comment on Reddit.

Something in this release is bringing my system to its knees. All cores go to 100% after a minute or two. Cleared cache, restarted Opera, still stopped everything, rebooted, same thing. Never happened before, but I am now using the non-developer release. MacOS 14.5

@andrew84 I can move an existing one also.

Split screen doesn't work with pinned tabs. Is there a reason for this? For my use, it's the pinned tabs that I most need to use in split screen.

I still can't take the music player out. Maybe I'm missing some trick.

@leocg I can now split tabs, very nice. Still can't take out the music player though.

@andrew84: I can make a new tab before the + sign without a problem.

MacOS 14.5

I must be missing something. I watched the videos but when I try to take out the music player, it doesn't go anywhere. When I try to split tabs, the second tab won't move. Either it becomes the primary tab or it moves to another place on the tab bar. Is there a trick that isn't in the videos?

@kened: I have had the Opera ad blocker turned off for a long time and just use ublock origin. I never get ads on the desktop. I do get ads on mobile and on my TV when using youtube.
