Description

Opera is not a company focused on its desktop browser. The browser is chromium-based, and we already have Edge and Chrome, both chromium-based, listed. It may make sense to merge Chrome, Edge, and Opera, and possibly other Chromium-bases browsers like Brave into a Chomium/Blink column.

Opera is a marketing ( or possibly crypto) company at this point. They don't even post browser release notes. The only post on their developer site since 2019 is about wallets. Being listed in caniuse and mdn's bcd is, at this point, keeping Opera on anyone's radar.

Maybe put the UC browser or Duck Duck Go browser in their place? The UC browser for Android has greater market share
