In macOS, the system opens the user’s default browser if it supports web authentication sessions, or Safari otherwise.

(Source: https://developer.apple.com/documentation/authenticationservices/aswebauthenticationsession)

Unfortunately, Opera does not support AsWebAuthenticationSession, so every time another application needs to authenticate the user in a browser, Safari is opened instead of Opera (my default browser).

Applications that use are amongst others: DeepL, ChatGPT, and EduVPN.

Other browsers experienced the same issue, like Firefox and Chromium. Please check the link how it was resolved there.

FYI, I've also reported this is as BUG-29287. Feel free to mention other application that use SSO and experience this problem. That way it will be easier for others to find this report and know what's causing it.
