Record marked as obsolete and not updated for a long time.
The vx file extension is associated with Opera, the web browser developed by Opera Software. It may have been used for internal browser data in an earlier version of Opera.
A vx file is part of Opera's data files and should be kept with the related Opera profile. Its exact contents depend on the Opera version that created it, and it is not a general-purpose interchange format.
The format is obsolete. It may be encountered in older Opera installations on Microsoft Windows, Apple macOS or Mac OS X, and Linux or Unix systems, but current Opera releases do not normally create it.
A vx file is not intended to be opened independently. Use the older version of Opera that created it, together with its original profile or data files. Current Opera releases may not recognize the file.
A text or hexadecimal editor may display raw file contents, but this will not provide a usable view of the Opera data.
There is no standard converter for the obsolete vx file format. It does not represent a document that can be usefully converted on its own.
If the associated data is recognized by an older Opera installation, use Opera's own data export or migration features where available. Otherwise, the file cannot normally be converted independently.
