Comment:

 WordPress Beta Tester uses these globals and received
 [https://wordpress.org/support/topic/bug-opera-doesnt-get-correctly-
 recognized-as-user-agent/ a support ticket] about this issue.

 Given that [https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/46132#comment:2 comment
 2] details one difference that existed between Chrome and Opera, the
 safest option seems to be adding an extra condition and moving the Opera
 branch above the Chrome branch.

 For sure, we should explore the purpose and differences of the two and act
 accordingly. As this ticket is 4 years old, we should try to make sure
 there's accurate detection.

 [https://github.com/WordPress/wordpress-develop/pull/4721 PR 4721]
 refreshes the patch to use `str_contains()`.

 -----

 Milestoning for 6.3 as the fix, if accepted, is a straightforward one.
