Comment:

 Thanks for the ticket, @brasofilo!

 I did some digging, and this Opera check appears to originally have come
 from b2 (fun!).

 Since Opera now uses Chromium, I'd be curious if `$is_opera` related
 conditionals throughout core can be removed in favor of `$is_chrome`.
 Differences in the browser's behaviors should be looked into, though.

 For reference, here is the [https://help.opera.com/en/opera-version-
 history/#uas official documentation for the Opera's user agent].

 @brasofilo are you interested in creating a patch for this?
