At least Opera for Mac used to let you send a link to the current page by email - just tried to do this in version 53 and the option is now gone ... only messages | reminders | notes and for me pocket ... clicking more shows that Opera Mail is permanently ticked ... but where has Mac Mail gone???
After all these years and Opera still cannot offer a decent Reader View and now with the email page as link function I use all the time gone it's getting close to goodbye from me!

There are extensions that add an option for this when you right-click on a page.

You don't need those to send a link by mail in Opera for Mac --- what I have found is that after updating to 53 my MacBookPro behaves just as before (i.e. a Mail link on the share menu) but on my iMac it has gone ...
In addition, on my iMac when I go to System Preferences | Extensions | Share menu I see the Opera icon next to the Mail option (which is ticked and greyed out) ....
Still working on it ...

For reasons unknown the Opera 53 update had changed the default email reader (set in the Mail app Preferences) menu from Mail.app to Opera.app!
Correcting that solved the problem.
BTW Running OSX 10.13.4 on iMac late 2012; my 2015 MBPro was not affected by this Opera update.

@thunderclutch I believe this is related to allowing Opera to handle mailto: links on for example gmail. i think there's something wrong here but I'm not yet sure what exactly
But just for clarity for others passing by: you do not need an extension to share links via mail in Opera on Mac, you can use the Share menu for this which is a system facility.
