Lotsa luck getting chrome extensions to work in Opera
Maybe i’ve just had bad luck- gotten the few chrome extensions that don’t work in Opera, but my difficulties with Opera’s scrambled extensions layout (good luck finding its manager, and you’ll need more to get a chrome extension to just appear on Opera’s main menu, much less actually do anything.
Opera went out of business because they focused on glitzy features at the expense of basic usability. And, when they returned using Chrome engine, they’re still doing that. LOL, or rather COL (cry out loud).
