How Do I Uninstall Opera Browser Assistant? -

I’d try finding one of those programs that are designed to completely and utterly uninstall stuff. The good ones find any file that’s leftover and removes them as well.
I’m not smart enough to know which ones are the best, but that’s what I’d try.
Sorry I couldn’t be more helpful.

Highlight the application, hold shift and press del on the keyboard.
Why the fuck would you use neo-Opera in the first place? CCleaner can probably remove it along with all the trash it's going to leave on your drive.
I still mourn old Opera.

Locate the operation in details (if you can't find it in processes) and end it
Get autoruns and find out where anything Opera is installed. You can use it to delete any place is program, it's startup shortcuts or Registry settings are.
This is a pretty good tool to have in general, some software really wants to fucking insist it runs at startup no matter what dark nether regions of the Registry it has to stick it's dick in.

I was looking for Chrome alternatives without thinking.
Step 1: Trash PC

Were you just memeing about the Recycle Bin or did you really just drag the Opera folder into your Recycle Bin like a mongoloid? If it's the latter then you should uninstall the program like a big boy:
Well, after the fancy uninstaller did nothing and Shift-Del did nothing, I learned that I had to be more thorough with Task Manager and shut down the processes. Thanks for your help.
First-party uninstallers are untrustworthy, as my years of experience with Mac adware has found.

Just fyi, Opera got purchased by some Chinese firm for $600 million in 2016. The whole kit & caboodle. Never touch anything from Opera ever again. https://archive.md/IIQ81

Foxxo's computer has the wuflu now.
Delete System32, ASAP.
Try out Vivaldi. It's like the good old Opera, but more modern and on Chromium. And it's fully owned by a bunch of Norwegians, including the co-founder of Opera, who left Opera in 2011, around when it was going to shit. So in a way, it is the spiritual successor to Opera.I was looking for Chrome alternatives without thinking.
Why has no-one said just use Brave yet? At least you get paid to get your shit spied on.
Vivaldi is a good alternative, highly configurable, lots of useful extensions built in, compatible with chrome extensions. Definitely one of the better browsers.
As do I, which is why I bring this up. Someone has cobbled together a working fork (I guess that's the best way to describe it) of Opera 12.15, complete with Presto engine. It's slower than your grandmother's Staples-bought computer, but technically, it works.
Or you could just do what these fine gentlemen have suggested, and use Vivaldi. Fuck Brave, for no real reason other than to be contrarian.
I use Brave on my Linux machine.
