Why Opera Browser is Using Webcam?

Yaser Al-Najjar - Oct 17 '19 - - Dev Community

I realized many times that Kaspersky is warning me whenever I open Opera browser that it starts using the webcam!

opera cam

Opened pages

All are usual pages that do NOT require webcam functionalities, like: Asana, ZenHub, Twitter, Facebook... etc

Plugins

I checked my plugins, and it's kinda empty just those:

  1. Install Chrome Extensions (by Opera Software).
  2. Opera Ad Blocker (official plugin form Opera).
  3. WordWeb Dictionary Lookup.

Why I use Opera?

Well, it's super light (memory and CPU) comparing to Google Chrome.

But I recently feel really concerned about why it uses the camera without showing any permission dialog.

I hope to see where I'm wrong at this.
