      (I'm sorry I did not write in the previous post in English.) Hello, does anyone know why when downloading a package. The Opera on Ubuntu in chrome shows that "file can cause damage to your computer"? I will add that downloading the installer on Windows or on Mac OS does not display it.

          That is a typical bs warning of chrome (and most browsers) commonly known as "safe browsing". In chrome go to settings > advanced and uncheck safe browsing under "privacy and security".

            Any file the program thinks is either an executable or installer will trigger a warning - in Linux "installers" should be either *.deb or *,rpm files. (Opera may not know which style of packages your system uses.) You should not see any warning for things like JPEG images or other standard document formats.

              I understand, that when downloading other packages by me, the .deb is not displayed only at the opera. I'm just asking on this forum because I thought that one of the options is that the file may be infected or something like that or something with the source and etc.

                  So the problem being discussed here is not what is written in the topic title? Doesn't seem to me that there are any problems with installation of Opera.

                        I still have a question whether this is the official Opera download page in Poland - https://download3.operacdn.com/pub/opera/desktop/56.0.3051.52/linux/opera-stable_56.0.3051.52_amd64.deb .I is it from a server with Polish or directly from the main server in Norway (or from?)? And safe browsing does not know why in chrome this page is dangerous or probably dangerous?

                          If you reached that address through www.opera.com, then it's probably official.
