Skipping acquire of configured file ... architecture 'armhf'

I am attempting to install the Opera Browser on my Raspberry Pi that seems to perform well in general. The default browser is pretty good, but I use Opera on my other systems and would like to get it firing on all cylinders in my Linux learning process.

I tried an install directly from the Opera site, but that failed with little detail as to what the problem was.

Error: "A Package could not be found that allows the action to complete. More information is available in the detailed report."
Unfortunately, I looked high and low, but could not find the detailed report anywhere.

Then I tried using instructions from:

https://www.linuxbabe.com/browser/install-opera-debian-ubuntu-linux-mint-free-vpn

I get down to the next to last command and get this architecture related message and I can't quite find anything on why this fails.

Error Message:

pi@raspberrypi:~ $ sudo apt update

Hit:1 http://archive.raspberrypi.org/debian stretch InRelease
Hit:2 http://raspbian.raspberrypi.org/raspbian stretch InRelease      
Hit:3 https://deb.opera.com/opera-stable stable InRelease

**N: Skipping acquire of configured file 'non-free/binary-armhf/Packages' as 
repository 'https://deb.opera.com/opera-stable stable InRelease' doesn't support architecture 'armhf'**

The error sounds like I am totally in the wrong dimension ... but I am a Linux nube well under the necessary pay grade.

Can anyone suggest what the failure is about/what I should do next ... or another route that might actually work to get this installed?

Thanks!

@bcavender The Opera repo is configured for Intel architectures - either 32-bit i386 or 64-bit AMD64, there are no ARM builds on that server.

Yep, wrong dimension was the right guess.

Looks like there is zero interest in whipping one up for the ARM as well based on a little digging on that specific issue.

Nuts, I hosed on this one!

But thank you for the assist.

I greatly appreciate the help!!!
