I have not manually deleted browsing history and want to retrieve all browse history since installing Opera about 9 months ago!
Apparently Opera browsing history stores in the "History" file located in the "Opera Stable" folder. What file type is this and how can its contents be viewed? -

@DavidCarter Go to opera://history or open the history panel in sidebar or go to menu > history

@DavidCarter Now, if you want to open the file directly, you need to use a database editor.
DBBrowser would be an option

Another site claims Recuva or EaseUS Data Recovery Wizard may be capable of retrieving history beyond 90 days. What do you think? I find it inconceivable this data would not be stored somewhere in Opera folders.
Also if the "History" file is opened using DBBrowser, will the file display a readable list of visited websites?

I opened "History" with DBBrowser. The information is convoluted and displays no recognizable list of websites. At this point I simply want to collect Opera's browser history and transfer it to Firefox or other browser
