      Hi Guys! I was installing a new file explorer thingy on my Windows machine and I wondered if you could change the file explorer Opera uses when you click on 'Open in Folder' in the download tab? Just wondering. Thanks! #settings #setting #file #download #downloads

        Opera doesn't have an option itself to control this, but Opera might use your custom file explorer automatically if the custom explorer is able to override Windows Explorer system-wide. Then again, Opera might explicitly use Windows explorer?

        Have you found a solution for other Chromium-based browsers like Chrome, Edge, Brave, and Vivaldi?
