Opera GX user, Opera normal installed without prompting?

I've been using GX for a while now, never used normal Opera. Just noticed Opera was installed, had to have been today, unprompted by me. It uninstalled with no problem, but how could this have happened? Did GX have an update that pushed some sort of install? Why was there no installer prompted when this happened? Not really okay with a browser installing another browser without my consent. Any staff / devs have a clue as to what happened here?

@titaniumblue Opera GX doesn't install regular Opera. And regular Opera doesn't install automatically.

Did you install something recently? Maybe Opera was bundled with some app you have installed.

@leocg Right, and that's what I would expect. Nothing new was installed, was doing stuff on my computer, then Opera normal showed up on my computer.
There really isn't anything more to it. Wasn't there when I started up that day, probably was playing a game or something and when I closed the window it was there on my desktop.
