Improve the explanation in the 'Fetching data' section to clearly distinguish when an Effect is needed (synchronization with external system) versus when it's not needed (user events, data transformation). Closes reactjs#8226
Add Opera browser detection to scroll restoration logic to fix content jumping issue when scrolling on Opera on iPhone. Opera has similar scroll behavior to Safari and needs the same scroll restoration fix. This sets history.scrollRestoration to 'auto' for Opera browsers, preventing the content jumping issue. Fixes reactjs#7777

Details
The global bundle is the javascript bundle that loads alongside every page. It is in its own category because its impact is much higher - an increase to its size means that every page on your website loads slower, and a decrease means every page loads faster.
Any third party scripts you have added directly to your app using the <script> tag are not accounted for in this analysis
