Yeah, don't worry about it for now. Just keep using regular Opera. Just goto https://www.opera.com/ to download Opera and install it again. That should fix it.

If you do install Opera GX though, it'll be installed along side Opera and use a separate profile etc. It won't interfere with your normal Opera. You can have both if you want.

Should one conclude that it is better to install it versus the plain Opera? I don't really understand the difference in practical use. Can you help?

Just apply the update.

But how it's related to you not being able to uninstall Opera?

" version of Opera and assumed that I had to delete what was already installed. Are you aware of it? Opera GX?

Did you already try a reinstall?
