with Opera it's an integrated mail client. So yeah it could be an "extension".
To be honest it's probabl no more of a security risk than running windows or Java. :-)

Don't you have the same risks with the security of browser extensions no matter what browser you use?!

Browser Extensions & Secuirty

I am looking for a browser extension that will tell me how many unread emails I have in various IMAP accounts, I have seen this for Chrome but it has mixed reviews, is there any way to test the security of something to see if the password is only held locally or not?!
