Remove Facebook, Whatsapp, Telegram, VK, Twitter, and Instagram from the browser. If people want to add them as an extension, then enable that function, but this built-in function is a cybersecurity worst practice and a privacy worst practice.

@saltyfox how are they a problem if you don't use them?

@newworldman Plugins can access and collect data, regardless of whether they are disabled or not, and regardless of whether I use them or not. This is a basic Privacy Best Practice.

@saltyfox can you prove they are doing that in Opera?

I guess you can ask but I'd be surprised if they remove them, so your best bet is to use another browser, such as Vivaldi. Maybe you do anyway?
