Opera GX is Chromium based with an Opera Software folder per channel. GX Stable holds Default plus Profile numbered extras, with Bookmarks and Preferences files inside.
Confirm at opera://about under Profile path before copying. GX mods and Flow files live in the same tree, so one backup covers them.
