Unwanted Bookmarks on Opera GX: Seeking Solutions

Have you ever come home after a long day, excited to catch up on some schoolwork, only to find your web browser filled with unfamiliar bookmarks? This is precisely the experience I’ve had recently with Opera GX, and it’s left me puzzled and concerned.

Upon logging into my computer, I was greeted not only by my usual bookmarks but an array of new ones in various languages, including Spanish, Russian, and Arabic. These bookmarks were not just random; they featured an eclectic mix of content ranging from anime-related YouTube videos and questionable adult content to product listings from AliExpress, articles, and links to music on SoundCloud and NexusMods.

The sheer variety and unfamiliarity of these bookmarks sparked my curiosity (and a bit of concern). Could it be a browser glitch, or is it something more sinister? I’m not familiar with many of these sites, and maybe you aren’t either. I’m reaching out to see if anyone else has encountered this issue or if there’s a known solution.

If you’ve experienced similar strange occurrences or have insights into fixing this problem, I would greatly appreciate your input. Let’s discuss and help each other navigate this puzzling situation!
