In the current years we live with constant threats from websites containing viruses / malware and sites containing fake news, so it would be interesting for the Opera team to add a button on the Opera menu to report a site. And even partner with Google to submit the reported sites for Google analysis and add to the Safe Browsing blacklist

@guilherm456 Opera already has some partnership to protect the users against malicious sites but there is no way to directly report them.

For going to the website, I agree that would be an interesting tag to have in the URL bar if the site is considered unreliable or fake. Would be an interesting extension to make!

Yes, I know that it is possible to report individually (I for example have reported many links that I considered malicious using the Netcraft website as you suggest), but I think it would be much easier to have an option to report those sites directly through the Opera menu, as it happens on Microsoft Edge
