Unable to open Opera "Safety Check"

Hi, i've tried to access the safety check in setting in opera://settings/content as well as trying to directly open through opera://settings/safetyCheck. Clicking the button does not work, and going to the page directly sends to the home page.

I've recently had a bout with malware on my system and am wondering if this is because they modified anything in my browser for this behavior to occur.

Anything i can do? Thanks

@Laqster What is that Safety Check?

@leocg Hey there, it's a button located within opera://settings/content on my browser. I've reached out to the subreddit wherein the responses said it could be leftover from chrome or an old update?

@Laqster It seems to be something from Chromium that wasn't hidden.

@leocg Thank you, that's a sound conclusion. I was suggested a standalone install and the button was not there. Glad it's more of a benign bug than anything malicious.

Lastly, is there anything I could have messed up on my end or had accidentally injected?

@Laqster Same version on both? Newest install probably got a version with a fix for it.
