@Keepskite
Actually I see 5 on Vivaldi and they look pretty normal,Chrome Media Router
Chromium PDF Viewer
CryptoTokenExtension
Google Hangouts
Vivaldi Picture-In-PictureBut 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-optionsand press enter.
To find the the path that launcher.exe is in, in Opera, goto the URL
opera://aboutand look at the "install" path.Then, when Opera starts, goto the URL
opera://extensionsand 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-optionsor
"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-optionsor:
"%LOCALAPPDATA%\Programs\Opera\launcher.exe" --show-component-extension-optionsAgain, if you goto the URL
opera://aboutand it says the install path isC:\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.

Install: C:\Users\attil\AppData\Local\Programs\Opera
Profile: C:\Users\attil\AppData\Roaming\Opera Software\Opera Stable
Cache: C:\Users\attil\AppData\Local\Opera Software\Opera Stable
this is what i see at Opera://about
So i typed in C:\Users\attil\AppData\Local\Programs\Opera\Launcher.exe --show-component-extension-options and hit enter it opens a Opera window (cause it was closed) but there is NO info in the cmd box
