Opera downloads continously from Google.

This extension blocks only the connections from the pages opened inside Opera but not external ones.

Go to the settings and uncheck:
- prediction service,
- predict network actions,
- send feature using information.
Does this still occur? These are options that will use traffic.
Look at your speed dial entries and check if there are some entries without a thumbnail. If an entry doesn't have a thumbnail, Opera tries to access the site to "complete" the Speed Dial entry. That leads to a some traffic at the start of Opera.

The speed dials are all with their thumbnails.
I disabled all 3 options and for the moment I'm not seeing strange traffic anymore.
I have to test longer because this problem was discontinous.
Then I will try to activate one option at a time. -

Bingo! Finally I discovered the real cause of this problem.
I installed a packet sniffer and I saw that all that traffic was originated from youtube.
Considering that I didn't have any Youtube page opened I rimembered that only one extension could cause this traffic: "GetThemAll - Any file downloader"!
Probably throughout my browsing this extension starts to download all the various videos embedded in sites and keeps to download them also after closing the pages.
What a pity, it's a useful extension. -

Try also to report the bug to the developer.
It has taken about a month to resolve that bug after my bug report.
