      Okay so I don't really have a uh photo of this but whenever Opera starts up on my computer, a little extension called Editor adds itself. I've noticed that it makes my search engine auto go to Yahoo, and I just wanted to know if anyone else has this problem or has a solution

        @captainr10t It seems that you got a malware. Try checking your system with your antivirus and also with Malwarebytes.

          Before you get rid of it, what's the ID for the extension? Goto the URL opera://extensions, turn on developer mode, and click "details" for the extension to find out.

              @captainr10t It's at the top right of the opera://extensions page. It looks like a switch.

                @captainr10t did you ever figure out how to fix this problem? I have been having the same problem.
