Opera Version: 79.0.4143.56

Q1a. Are Extensions and Plug-Ins listed together in the Extensions section?

Answer:

b. Is clicking the 'Extensions' tab the new way to access Extensions and Plug-ins and typing opera:plugins into the address bar the old way to access plug-ins only?

Answer:

Thanks.

@sporty78 There are no plugins nowadays.

I am a survey panel member and sometimes a plug-in has to be installed in order to review sections of a website being tested.

Would that add-on be included in the Extensions list?

If so, would clicking on 'Extensions' access that list?

@sporty78 Add-ons and extensions are the sane thing, basically.

As originally asked then:

Am I correct that Extensions and Add-Ons would be listed together under the Extensions tab?

It only requires a Y/N response.

@sporty78 What do you cal an add-ons? Since the page where you get Opera extensions is named addons.opera.com. I guess the answer is yes.

However, as I said browsers (majority of them at least) no longer use plugins nowadays.

Let's try this again:

I am a survey panel member (which means that I receive daily invitations to take part in them) and I access the survey links using Opera.

Sometimes, the survey disclaimer states that an add-on needs to be installed. At one time, opera:plugins would have accessed plug-ins and the Extensions tab would have accessed extensions only.

However, since opera:plugins is no longer functional, I am asking if 'Extensions' is where I would find the installed add-ons so that I can delete them after the survey is complete.

Again, I ask: Are Add-ons and Extensions listed together in the Extensions tab?

@sporty78 If I remember correctly, opera://plugins used to list thing like Java, Flash, etc. Those plugins are no longer supported by 9 out of 10 browsers, so if you are talking that kind of plugins then they are not listed in the extensions page.

Now, if plugins is just another name for extensions, then they are listed in the page.

I will make my question simple:

Besides the 'Extensions' tab, where else would 'plug-ins' (that need to be installed in order to complete surveys) be listed?

I click on the survey link, a pop-up appears telling me that a plug-in needs to be installed in order to complete the survey, and I install the plug-in; 'Where' would that plug-in be listed?

If my question still confuses you, leave it for someone else to answer.

@sporty78 You can only install extensions in Opera.

In the case of a survey-specific add-on then that has to be installed, 'where' is it installed to?

@sporty78 Unless you say what plugin you are talking about, no one will be able to answer you.

If you're talking about a survey extension from https://chrome.google.com/webstore/search/survey?_category=extensions, then yes. If you install one, it would show up in Opera at the URL opera://extensions. You'd go to that page to manage its settings and uninstall it if you want.
