So today I learned a thing: Opera auto-updates itself. And it is 
impossible to disable this behaviour.

I don't find that very amusing.

(Well OK, it's but *impossible*, just damned hard. There's a 
command-line switch --- which won't work if you click a URL which 
auto-opens the default web browser. Or you can rename the updater 
executable. Which may accidentally get "repaired". Or you can try to 
firewall your web browser... good luck with that!)

Not only can you not tell it to stop this, you also cannot tell that 
it's doing this. There's no UI to tell you an update is happening, or 
how far it's got, or anything. That's very annoying.
