Reminder to not use Opera browser.

Not only because of their parent company's predatory loan history, but they also restrict extensions (such as uBlock Origin) from working on search engine pages so that they can force you to see search ads that they benefit from.

I don't use Opera browser because it's owned by a Chinese company. But it preventing uBlock Origin from working is another reason not to use it.
