Opera Browser and the Password App
As the Opera Browser is (I believe) built on the same engine as Chrome/Edge can I ask that there be a fully working extension for the excellent DropBox Password manager please. Especially now that the stand alone version is being shut down or being subjected to 'sunsetting'.
