      Hi,

      I'm comparing the extension systems of various browsers and could not find any information if Opera supports the blocking/removal of malicious extensions similar to Firefox or Chrome.

      I'm aware of the review process, but is there a mechanism to detect and block malicious extensions that are already installed on the system (by malware or from other sources)?

      Thx!

        Yes. We have a blacklist. It's checked periodically by the browser. Extensions found on the list are disabled.

              Download files with Internet Download Manager

              We've identified this extension as malicious and have blacklisted it. This means it can no longer cause any damage to your machine. You can leave it as is, or remove it.
