      Why does Opera for Android insist on automatically creating
      an account?? I have enough accounts!
      Bad thing is I'm unable to remove the account if I have Opera installed.

        @jamesjoey123 Opera for Android doesn't do that. You probably are creating new accounts instead of logging in with an existent one.

          When I go into Settings, Accounts there is an account called: com.opera.browser.
          The account is there when Opera is installed on my tablet
          I uninstalled Opera and the account is gone.
          But yet Opera doesn't do that??
          Then who does?

            @jamesjoey123 Ah, that kind of account. No idea why it is created, probably Opera needs it for something.

              It must need it because I'm unable to remove it.

                @jamesjoey123 Apparently, it's not something new: https://www.reddit.com/r/operabrowser/comments/di9srl/after_installing_opera_for_android_an_opera/

                  I didn't see any explanation as to why Opera needs this.
                  If I don't know why this account is there I'll just use another browser.

                    @jamesjoey123 As said in the Reddit topic, most probably it's because of sync.

                      Most probably.
