      The Share button is useless, mostly because it's Mac focused and while I'm on a Mac I'm not otherwise part of Apple's ecosystem. Share via GMail might be useful.

      I don't believe it can currently be removed (but I really hope I'm wrong).

        @awfki Cheers! You can disable some of the functionality by disable some flags (internal settings/experiments) in Opera. Flags relating to Share (i have this disabled as well) is at (click, or copy & paste the links in the location field of the browser):
        opera://flags/#mac-system-share-menu (Set to: Disable)
        opera://flags/#more-share-menu-access-points (Set to: Disable)

        After changing the flags, be sure to restart Opera.

          @deluxive Unfortunately this doesn't work on Opera 52.0 (Mac). Any other suggestions? Thanks! 😃

            I do not see that second setting on the flags page.
