I have started using Opera as my browser and really like it. The only problem is that when I google, it defaults to google.com but I would prefer google.co.uk

Any ideas??

    easy to fix

    In Opera > Tools > Preferences > Search tab > click on google in the list at the top > click edit > click details> change the .com part of the address to .co.uk > click OK > click OK again

    Also on Google.com there is usualy a link at the bottom saying "Go to Google.co.uk"
    That will set google itself to give you ".co.uk" even if you type in ".com" :D

    Yeah I remember that lol!

    In fact I liked the status bar at the bottom of the window that tells you download speeds and time taken etc. that I queried on this site if there was an add on for Firefox that did this, and there is and I have it, hurrah!
