Installing Opera Touch

Hi, just got an android phone and am wondering: is there any way to download and install Opera Touch in it without using Chrome or Google Play? For example, downloading the Installer to my laptop then Bluetooth that to the phone and install?

If there's a way, could someone provide detailed step-by-step instructions? This may sound silly, but I'd like to install and use Opera Touch on my phone without Alphabet knowing about it.

If you install it and have a Google-based Android phone (one that includes Play Store) then Google knows about it. Some phones use an alternative store but if you have Google Play they know what is installed on your phone.

Thanks for the info, sgunhouse. I do have Google Play on my phone. Does this mean that if I install and use Opera, Google will track and collect e.g. my Opera searches?

Is it possible to remove Google Play from my phone? What about seamax?
