Search engines in Opera Mini

Lem729 last edited by @stahn, @vyedmic, @gero2000The reason Opera limited the default search engines to five was because malware and adware were hijacking people's searches to unsafe sites. Now you can add your engine, but just need to go to the website, right click on the search bar, add the engine to opera, pay attention to the letter(s) that will be associated with a search (change it/them if you're not satisfied) and before a search, use the [letter(s)][space][search query]. With DuckDuckGo, it might just be: "d[space][search query]." All you'd have to remember extra from a normal search DuckDuckGo search is "d [space]." That's not too hard. Now gero2000, you have told us that your version of Firefox was infected with 'speedial.com' malware. That's awful. And it is exactly the kind of concern that drove Opera to limit the default search engines to 5.If you want to avoid having to type the letter, (or the privacy danger that your search is traceable to you), the Disconnect Search extension is an option. Here's a 4 star review of it in PCMag. Disconnect you can do a Search using any of their Search Engines, including DuckDuckGo without the letter(s) and [space]. Now gero2000, you're saying Disconnect largely duplicates the same functionality of searches as Google. The big difference (in addition to the use of two different search engines from what Opera uses as defaults) is that searches are not traceable to you, because they are generally routed through the Disconnect website.Now Disconnect has responded to email every time I've written, so you might try again. Not sure why you didn't get a response. Disconnect doesn't demand money. If you want to contribute, you can. But no way do you have to, or are your pressured to.On the Disconnect Search itself (using the extension in Opera), the results should be very similar to what you get if you don't go through the extension at all. However, some results may be different, example, if you search for a local restaurant or store, the search engine won't know your location so it won't be able to geographically target the results. Sponsored links (otherwise known as advertisements) might also be different, since the search engine will not be able to target them based on your past browsing behavior or other information they know about you. At the moment, they're working on a problem with DuckDuckGo, because the

Default Search Engine @ Opera Mini - Opera forums

Opera has built a new Web browser from the ground up, and it's available now on Windows and Mac. The new Opera, which the organization is calling Next, its channel for what used to be known as "beta," was built from scratch, it claims. What has resulted is a much cleaner interface and a host of features that Opera says, will make it easier for users to find contents. The big change is that Opera has replaced its proprietary engine Presto with the Chromium engine. That will allow the company's browser to load more quickly and handle slow network connections more effectively. Aside from that, the new Opera comes with an improved Speed Dial feature that lets users bundle shortcuts into folders based on their type. A new Discover feature automatically feeds content to users, based on their interests. Stash, another new feature, lets users save Web sites to compare at a later point. Thanks to the Chromium engine, the address bar also doubles as a search bar. Opera Next is available now for Windows and Mac. Its launch comes just a week after the company offered an update to its Android browser that took it from beta status to gold.

From play store. What's going on? hendri-dunan last edited by Opened google search & facebook got error i:/error/unsupported.html since this afternoon till now, kindly fixed leocg Moderator Volunteer last edited by What s the build number of this last update? Facebook seems OK here but i'm not sure if i'm using the latest build. Deleted User last edited by thanks jackob11, for the heads-up about the return of the omnibar nonsense in 107915. i'll stay with 107487 and won't update to that kind of crap.looking at all this malarkey one comes to think whether google money is going to opera in return for access to user data and that this is also influencing the browser design. so we won't have a seperate adress field, another default search engine or a transparent cookie management away from google's eyes. mauraglitz last edited by For the past few days, i can't open facebook using opera mini.

If that's the case I'm not sure if it is worth it taking much space from the address bar on smartphones just for having that. Maybe it's.

2005, the ads were completely removed, and the browser's primary financial support came through revenue from Google (by contract, Opera's default search engine).[30]Among new features introduced in version 9.1, released in 2006, was fraud protection using technology from GeoTrust, a digital certificate provider, and PhishTank, an organization that tracks known phishing web sites.[31] This feature was further expanded in version 9.5, when GeoTrust was replaced with Netcraft, and malware protection from Haute Secure was added.[32]In 2006, Opera Software ASA was released as well as Nintendo DS Browser and Internet Channel for Nintendo's DS and Wii gaming systems, respectively, which were Opera-based browsers.[33][34][35][36]A new JavaScript engine, called Carakan (after the Javanese alphabet), was introduced with version 10.50.[37] According to Opera Software, it made Opera 10.50 more than seven times faster in SunSpider than Opera 10.10.[38][39][40]On 16 December 2010, Opera 11 was released, featuring extensions,[41] tab stacking (where dragging one tab over another allowed creating a group of tabs), visual mouse gestures and changes to the address bar.[42] Opera 12 was released on 14 June 2012.[43]On 12 February 2013, Opera Software announced that it would drop its own Presto layout engine in favor of WebKit as implemented by Google's Chrome browser, using code from the Chromium project. Opera Software planned as well to contribute code to WebKit.[44] On 3 April 2013, Google announced it would fork components from WebKit to form a new layout engine, Blink. That day, Opera Software confirmed it would follow Google in implementing Blink.[45]On 28 May 2013, a beta release of Opera 15 was made available,[46] the first version based on the Chromium project.[47][48] Many distinctive Opera features of the previous versions were dropped, and Opera Mail was separated into a standalone application derived from Opera 12.[49]In 2016, Opera was acquired by an investment group led by a Chinese consortium, the consortium included several Chinese companies such as Kunlun Tech and Qihoo 360. On July 27, 2018, Opera Software went public on the NASDAQ stock exchange, raising $115 million in its initial public offering.[50] Opera began repurchasing its shares in 2022 following the closure of 360 Security Technology Inc. that year.[51][52]In January 2017, the source code of Opera 12.15, one of the last few versions still based on the Presto layout engine, was leaked.[53]To demonstrate how radically different a browser could look, Opera Neon, dubbed a "concept browser", was released in January 2017.

There are many ways to achieve this.One of them is to use keyboard modifiers as mtone suggested but if you'd like Opera to handle background tabs the same way Google Chrome does, then you're better off doing this: Install AutoStack and backup Opera's menu config file as explained here then proceed.Open the config file standard_menu.ini in a text editor (Notepad++ works well).The file is usually located at: C:\Program Files (x86)\Opera\ui\Search for [Link Popup Menu] and add one of these entries:Item, "Open link in New Background Tab"= Open link in background page, "urlinfo",,, "Mail Compose Bold"ORItem, "Open link in New Background Tab"= Open link in background page, "urlinfo",,, "Thread Button"Now search for [Hotclick Popup Menu]. When you've found it, add this line among the other entries:Item, "Search in background tab"= Copy,,,,"Search Web" & Paste and go backgroundWhere you place these lines will decide where it will turn up in the context menu so if you want them to show up as the first choice in their respective menus, make sure you place them at the top.Restart Opera. Now when you select some text and right-click it, you should see Search in background tab among the items in the context menu. Clicking on it will either send the selected text to your default search engine or if it's a URL, Opera will load it in the background page like Google Chrome does.Also Open link in New Background Tab shows up when you right click a link. What it does is self-explanatory. Based on your choice, you should see one of these in the context menu:.
