With that little Firewall-"Extension" you could simply add relevant exe to your whitelist. Let's see how occuring Opera-Updates get affected or simply work... but you have another two tasks running in background. More Benefits it helps to look up processes and where they want to talk to which ip-addresses and even restrict LAN-Connections.

@erikdourns Too bad they don't identify which ones "some of our applications" are. That's the obvious problem with unified privacy statements - you don't know which parts of it apply to the product you use (in our case, the browser).

@erikdourns You can try the ones at https://chrome.google.com/webstore/search/save as mhtml?_category=extensions to see how well they work.
