<![CDATA[WHY did Opera hijack my computer???]]>I am VERY upset that Opera 39.0.2256.71 hijacked my computer. No other browser app including Chrome (yuck btw) took over all of my links and default file types without first ASKING.

Next time, click on Options and make sure what the program will do.

Aside from opening web pages, there's nothing else I imagine it would be opening by default. And you can easily set one of your other browsers as default, if that's what you want.
