(previously, the last method .deb didn't work, so I used snap.)

a built in permissions system, line like android apps do.

So you either grand grant opera the permission

Typos everywhere 😛

For that reason, snap apps have a built in permissions system, line android apps do.

So you either grand opera the permission to access your home folder, or be a sane man and install opera as a deb and use it like all the other linux apps.

Opera does not allow websites to access your local file system, so if it is the app then there is nothing to do about it.
