@fdauti Actually there are. By my count here it is Opera 15, Vivaldi 6, Brave 3. Pick your poison.

Actually I see 5 on Vivaldi and they look pretty normal,

Chrome Media Router
Chromium PDF Viewer
CryptoTokenExtension
Google Hangouts
Vivaldi Picture-In-Picture

But I'm not surprised Brave uses even less

While Opera is closed, open up a command prompt and type:

"path to Opera's launcher.exe" --show-component-extension-options

and press enter.

To find the the path that launcher.exe is in, in Opera, goto the URL opera://about and look at the "install" path.

Then, when Opera starts, goto the URL opera://extensions and click the notification next to the extension that wants you to confirm the update of the extension.

I did exactly what you said i closed Opera then pulled up command prompt i typed exactly what you wrote ..."path to Opera's launcher.exe "--show-component-extension-options
and it said ' "path to Opera's launcher.exe" ' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.

@trippin42 You don't literally put "path to Opera's launcher.exe", you put:

"C:\Program Files\Opera\launcher.exe" --show-component-extension-options

or

"C:\Users\yourusername\AppData\Local\Programs\Opera\launch.exe" --show-component-extension-options

(Where you replace "yourusername" with your actual username on Windows.)

Or, you can try:

"%ProgramFiles%\Opera\launcher.exe" --show-component-extension-options

or:

"%LOCALAPPDATA%\Programs\Opera\launcher.exe" --show-component-extension-options

Again, if you goto the URL opera://about and it says the install path is C:\Users\Bob\AppData\Local\Programs\Opera, then you'd use:

"C:\Users\Bob\AppData\Local\Programs\Opera\launcher.exe" --show-component-extension-options

opera://about

ok i want understand this ... (for dummies like me Lol) working with command prompt is tricky it has to be exact, at least i think it does. so when it says ."path to Opera's launcher.exe " ( i was thinking it usually doesnt have spaces between words like that and the " " were also significant) .ok this is what i put in .EXACTLY "C:\Users\attil\AppData\Local\Programs\Opera\Launcher.exe" --show component-extension-options

it opened up Opera in a new window (the message is still there

Cache: C:\Users\attil\AppData\Local\Opera Software\Opera Stable

i started thinking maybe the quotation marks arent supposed to be there, I did it again, this time without the quotation marks ( i do Exactly what it says ) and it opened a new Opera window Without that annoying message tada you did it you learned me something ......ie quotation marks mean a variable is inside and dont copy them in the command \

@trippin42 The command line will not make the message go away but will allow you to see the hidden extensions and check if one of them is triggering the message.
