            @hbilke Could you share the installer and SHA-512 checksum for it?

              In the VM, what browser did you use to download the Opera installer from opera.com? Did you type opera.com in the address field or did you click a link to opera.com on some other website to get there? What OS were you running in the VM btw?

              I guess some Opera partners have an installer that includes Facebook shortcuts and you somehow got that installer. You shouldn't be served that installer unless you clicked on a special link from a partner website or app/program. However you got it, it was just a mistake and it's not malware or anything like that. If it happens again, try to figure out what triggers the downloading of the wrong installer so the website bug can be fixed.

                The dl was done with firefox and your hint about direct or indirect download made me check:

                IT was a redirect from reputable well-known ct-magazine (Germany based)

                The downloadlink is
                https://net.geo.opera.com/Opera/stable/utm_medium.... (with ref to ct-mag)

                So I have to quarry there.

                Me thinks I can stay with Opera.

                Cheers to all contributers

                Stay healthy
