Hi there! Just to make sure I understand correctly—you’re seeing a "Find It" page instead of the usual search page when you try to search in Opera GX, right? Could you tell me a bit more about when this happens? For example, is it happening when you type in the address bar, use the search box, or open a new tab? Also, have you noticed if this started after installing some extension or software recently?
Thanks for the info! It sounds like when you open a new tab in Opera GX on your Windows device, instead of the usual search or start page, you get this "Find It" page.
Let's try a few steps to fix it:
1. Check Your New Tab Page Settings: - Open Opera GX. - Click the Opera logo in the top-left corner to open the menu. - Go to Settings (or press Alt + P). - On the left panel, select Start Page or New Tab Page. - Make sure it’s set to Speed Dial or Start Page (the standard page), and not a custom URL like the "Find It" page.
2. Reset New Tab Page to Default: - If the "Find It" page is a result of a change, resetting this setting to default should help.
3. Check Extensions: - Some extensions can override the new tab page. - Go to Extensions by typing opera://extensions in the address bar. - Disable any extensions you suspect might affect the new tab page, especially search-related or productivity extensions. - Restart Opera GX and see if the new tab page is back to normal.
4. Clear Cache and Cookies: - Sometimes cached data can cause display issues. - Go to Settings > Privacy & security > Clear browsing data. - Choose Cached images and files and Cookies and other site data, then clear. - Restart Opera GX.
If none of these steps fix the issue, we can try deeper settings reset or consider reinstalling Opera GX.
Let me know how these go or if you’ve already tried any!
I totally understand how a video can make things clearer! While I can’t send you a video directly here, I found a really helpful tutorial on YouTube that walks through how to use the video assistant features in Opera GX. It explains how to enable and use things like the video pop-out feature, which might also help you navigate better in Opera GX:
Thanks for letting me know you can't use YouTube right now. Since you mentioned "Opera GX no reproduce YouTube" (meaning YouTube videos won’t play), let's focus on fixing that issue directly.
Here are some quick steps you can try to get YouTube videos working again in Opera GX on your Windows 10 device:
1. Check Your Network Connection: Make sure your internet is working well and stable.
2. Disable Hardware Acceleration: Sometimes hardware acceleration, which offloads video processing to your graphics card, can cause video playback issues. - Open Opera GX. - Go to Settings (press Alt + P). - Scroll down to System. - Turn off Use hardware acceleration when available. - Restart the browser and try YouTube again.
3. Disable Ad Blockers or Extensions That Affect Video: Some extensions, especially ad blockers, can interfere with YouTube videos. - Type opera://extensions in the address bar. - Disable ad blockers or other suspicious extensions temporarily. - Refresh YouTube and test video playback.
4. Clear Cache and Cookies: Corrupted cache can cause problems too. - Settings > Privacy & security > Clear browsing data - Select Cached images and files and Cookies and other site data. - Clear and restart Opera GX.
If the problem still persists after these steps, it might be helpful to try updating Opera GX to the latest version or reinstalling it.
If you want, I can walk you through any of these steps in detail. Just let me know!
Also, here is a helpful forum discussing similar issues with video playback in Opera that might offer extra insight: YouTube videos not working in Opera [1].
Are you satisfied with the solution I provided, or shall I help you further?
Thanks for clarifying that you'd like me to send you a video right here! While I can't embed video playback directly in this chat, I can definitely share a direct video link you can open when you're ready.
Here’s a great video tutorial that shows how to use Opera GX's video sharing and pop-out features step-by-step:
If your interest is specifically about screen sharing Opera GX without getting a black screen (for example, when sharing on Discord), this video is very helpful:
I know you mentioned not being able to use YouTube at the moment, but if you can access these links later on any device, they will guide you clearly with visuals.
In the meantime, if you want, I can also walk you through the steps with clear instructions here. Would you like me to do that?
Thanks for sharing that you see a "Find It" page instead of the usual search page in Opera GX—let's get to the bottom of it!
From what you described before, this usually happens when some setting or extension changes the search or new tab page behavior. Sometimes, "Find It" pages can be caused by unwanted software or hijackers that override your normal search page.
Here’s what I suggest to fix this step-by-step on your Windows 10 device:
1. Check and Reset Your Default Search Engine:
- Open Opera GX and go to Settings (press Alt + P). - On the left, click Search engine. - Make sure the default search engine is set to your preferred one like Google, Bing, or DuckDuckGo—if you notice anything unusual, switch it back. - Also, check "Manage search engines" and remove any unknown or suspicious entries.
2. Verify Your New Tab Page Settings:
- In Settings, look for the Start page or New Tab Page section. - Ensure it’s set to Speed Dial or Start Page, not a custom URL like the "Find It" page.
3. Check for Suspicious or Unwanted Extensions:
- Type opera://extensions in the address bar. - Disable or remove any extensions you don't recognize or that might affect the new tab or search behavior. - Sometimes browser hijackers install extensions that redirect your search.
4. Scan for Browser Hijackers or Malware:
- "Find It" pages can be caused by malware that changed browser settings. - Run a scan using trustworthy antivirus or anti-malware software to clean any unwanted programs. - You can also reset Opera GX entirely if needed.
5. Clear Browsing Data:
- Go to Settings > Privacy & Security > Clear browsing data. - Select Cached images/files and Cookies and other site data, then clear them. - Restart the browser afterward.
If you want to see an example of a known browser hijacker called "find-it.pro" that behaves similarly and how to remove it, there’s a useful video tutorial about removing such hijackers from browsers, including Opera:
Hi again! Since you're seeing a "Find It" page instead of your normal search page in Opera GX, it sounds like your browser's new tab or search settings might have been changed—sometimes by an unwanted extension or software.
Let me guide you through a focused approach to fix this:
1. Reset Your Default Search Engine: - Open Opera GX and press Alt + P to open Settings. - Click on Search engine on the left. - Make sure your default search engine is set to something familiar like Google, Bing, or DuckDuckGo. If you see anything strange, switch it back. - Also click Manage search engines and remove any unknown or suspicious entries.
2. Set New Tab Page Back to Default: - In Settings, look for Start page or New Tab Page settings. - Make sure it’s set to Speed Dial or Start Page instead of a custom URL like the "Find It" page.
3. Check and Disable Suspicious Extensions: - Type opera://extensions in the address bar and press Enter. - Look for any extensions you don’t recognize, especially ones related to search or new tabs. - Disable or remove suspicious extensions, then restart Opera GX.
4. Scan for Malware or Browser Hijackers: - The "Find It" page might be caused by malware like browser hijackers. - Run a scan with trusted antivirus or antimalware software to make sure your system is clean. - You can also consider resetting Opera GX completely if needed.
5. Clear Cache and Cookies: - Go to Settings > Privacy & Security > Clear browsing data. - Choose Cached images and files and Cookies and other site data, then clear them. - Restart the browser.
If you want a visual guide on removing similar annoying redirects (like one called find-it.pro which behaves similarly), here is a helpful video tutorial that applies well to Opera GX too: How to Remove find it pro From Chrome and All Browsers
Please let me know if you'd like me to walk you through any of these steps in detail or if the problem persists after trying them. I’m here to help you get back to your normal search experience!
