@mykogamon: That's the entire point of the extension lol. You can even turn that feature off though if I remember correctly. If you have a privacy fear though, don't use an Amazon extension lmao. Don't use Opera if you fear your privacy being stolen or used nefariously.

I feel so sorry for myself that I am told to stop using Opera by people who has no abitily of imagine that I might have uninstalled that plug-in long ago. I have already uninstalled the Amazon Plugin at the time of that post.

I am using this extension and works great from my side. I don't know why people say it's not working but I've downloaded this from opera and using it since a month. No problem at all as I am amazon assistant it really helps me. I've also download WhatsApp from it also works fine. You can also download it from here: https://addons.opera.com/en/extensions/details/whatsapp-in-opera/

I've been with opera nearly from the beginning. This installed itself on my browser while surfing at amazon, either through clickjacking or opera blatantly allowed it. Either way it's a crime!

Avoid At All Costs, and get a better browser, preferably an actual opensource one endorsed by the FSF. Icecat and Librewolf are high on my list at the moment.

Opera is ruined.

I used to love Opera, but nowadays it just forces more and more useless features on you without respecting your privacy.

This bs extension installed itself on my browser today. An icon pops up from no where, with no consent from me. And worst of all, it doesn't show up in my extension list so cannot be uninstalled, and I'm not even sure if it is fully installed as it never pops up anything. Just an icon, hanging there and cannot be removed.

@saswata450 There is no need to download it, it installs itself without asking for permission.
