      If good if you could give us some way to disable the file picker when uploading files. The problem is that this displays a set of random images from my computer as suggestions to be uploaded. This option poses a privacy risk. Earlier I was uploading an image file to youtube and one of the suggested images was a screenshot that I had taken of one of my bank accounts which included information like my account number and bank balance. If i had been in a public space where other people could have seen this image my account information would have been compromised. Needless to say, I do not want my browser randomly opening and displaying files from my computer like this.

        Goto the URL opera://settings/easyFiles and disable the pop-up. Then, it'll just show a regular file picker from the operating system.
