Nice! Very nice! I have installed Brave, used it for a couple of websites and uninstalled it. And right after that i got TONS of problems…: my Opera browser crashes (it cant get access to my profile files). I dont have access to OperaSoftware folder, I can’t delete it, i can’t change owner of this folder, i can’t uninstall Opera, tekeown and icacls commands doenst work. Even after uninstalling of Brave i still have Brave folder in users/…/AppData/Local/ and this folder has same problems as Opera. Nice!!
Download the Opera installer from Opera (not, from anywhere else):
‘https://www.opera.com/download’
Download the Brave Browser installer from Brave (not, from anywhere else):
‘https://brave.com/download/’
Install both applications. Do not import anything, during installation. If Brave prompts you to allow Brave Rewards, Brave Talk, Brave’s Firewall & VPN . . . do not allow those.
In other words, keep the installations simple, without including “bells and whistles.”
Exit / Quit everything and restart the computer.
