1. Images
   
   
   • View Image Info (properties) Allows you to view the image as well as details about the image (size, type, etc.)
     
     • Note: now located at Google Chrome webstore.
   • Images On/Off Adds a button to your extensions bar to toggle images on or off.
     
   • Gif Blocker Disables gifs.  Click on a gif to show the image.
     
   • Classic Images Allows you to save images using shortcuts used in Opera 12.x.

     • tutorial
   
   
2. Youtube
   
   
   • SaveFrom.net helper Download videos from YouTube, etc.
     
   • Enhancer for YouTube Adds a nice toolbar for YouTube
     
   • Audio Equalizer and Amplifier Click "enable equalizing" and "use mono" then refresh the page.  Useful for when sound is only available through a right or left speaker or headset.
     
     • Note: May work with sites other than Youtube such as TheEpochTimes.com
   • Disable HTML5 Autoplay Also works on most other sites as well.
     
   • Picture-in-Picture for Chrome Works on most other sites as well.
   
   
3. Article Reading and Note Taking
   
   
   • Google Keep A notepad for Opera that is synced to your Google account.  I'm a little skeptical, but only a little.  It looks secure enough.
     
   • Reader View View an article and nothing else.  This is primarily what I use Edit the page for, so this is very handy for me.
     
   • Notepad can only use one note, but there are no security issues and it is easy to use.
     
   • rss feeds
     
     • Needs Smart RSS.
   • gmail notifier There are many to choose from, but I prefer this one.
     
   • Instant Dictionary Double click on a word to see its definition.  Better than the Google version which has spyware.
     
     • Note: Requires Install Chrome Extensions
   
   
4. Security, Privacy, and Javascript
   
   
   • Stop Reclame an ad blocker, however, this has an option to block websites.
     
   • AdBlock Plus Excellent and easy to use ad blocker.
     
   • Scriptsafe Sort of an ad blocker, but it also allows you to mask Opera as another browser. Privacy settings → User-Agent Spoof: Chrome, Firefox, etc.
     
     • Note: may break many websites.
   • Luminous -- tutorial
     
   • User-Agent Switcher Mask browser as another browser or OS.  Kinda sad that we need this still in 2019.
     
   • LastPass A password manager alternative to Opera's password manager.
     
   • Show Password Displays passwords on websites as plain text as opposed to dots.
     
   • Opera Password Decryptor External file for viewing all Opera Passwords
   
   
5. Misc
   
   
   • Opera Internal Pages gives you quick access to all of Opera's internal pages. See Opera Internal Pages
     
   • Homepage in New Tab can also be set to open in same tab.
     
   • Modern Scroll Customize the scrollbar.
     
   • Custom Scrollbars Customize the scrollbar.
     
   • Edit the page It allows you to delete sections of any web page.  Not quite as good as the pac–man from the 12.xx and older versions of opera, but it comes close.
     
   • Scroll Anywhere Allows you to grab the page and scroll like a smartphone or grab like a pdf.
     
   • Install Chrome Extensions
     
     • Google Chrome Web Store
