@terabytenet said in Opera installs bring yet another pinned task bar icon:

PatchMyPC

Does it have an option to specify command-line arguments for the installer? If so, you can tell it to pass -startmenushortcut=0 --pintotaskbar=0 --desktopshortcut=0 --setdefaultbrowser=0 --run-at-startup=0 (0=false, 1=true, adjust how you like) to the installer.

I would avoid having anything else update Opera though. It's likely to break something. Example.
