General Questions • Opera browser for Debian, best way to install?

Aside from Flatpak, Snap, or manual deb installing, is there an "official"/recommended way to get my preferred browser in Debian?
If the method you mentioned works (grabbing the deb, etc.) then you should stick with that. Opera, I think, is a peculiar case and will likely remain in 3rd party repositories. Also, if you like using this browser, it might be in your interest to continue downloading it the way you do. If the developers see a drop-off in deb downloads, they may stop packaging or providing that solution.
There's always the version of Opera on Flathub, if the official devs ever stop releasing deb files. I don't think they would, since there is enough demand for Opera on Ubuntu/Mint/other Debian based distros. However, my system isn't yet configured to install flatpaks. I'm a bit out of by it due to how much space they can use, I think Opera installed from a deb would use less space.
