Opera went through this fight between e.g. 2004-2013.
It wasn't really fully resolved until the browser engine was switched to Blink/Chromium.
Now, of course Opera is ~indirectly managed by the chinese government, so no-one should be using it. Please just trust me on this one. The desktop browser is now built in Poland (not Norway/Sweden). The remaining technical management is very weak when it comes to things like principles.

- linux2647 7y agoDo you have a source on China (indirectly) managing Opera?
- tpmx 7y agoA source on China indirectly managing Chinese companies? That is generally speaking a true statement, regardless of which Chinese company you're speaking of. Do you want a source on that?
