Hello,
As soon as I downloaded Opera, all my Chrome bookmarks and passwords are transferred automatically to Opera, and while installing it, there were no checks for it!! How can I erase all data from Opera databases?
Regards. -

Always click the "options" button in the installer. There's a checkbox for this.

@leocg Thx for the reply, but it should not be, it is creepy that as soon as I download the browser, I see all my passwords transferred to another browser. It should not be! I do not know how this is possible. To be honest, I have no trust to Opera.

@eyvz There is, though of course it says "default browser" and not Chrome by name.
And as far as "creepy", you'd need to ask Chrome why every other program can read your data rather than asking everyone else why. Opera does it because Firefox does, as does Chrome itself - to make the transition easier (so you don't have to do it yourself).
