I’m surprised why Opera doesn’t come up more often in HN discussions. Sure it is not open source like Firefox but it is pretty performant and a competitor to Chrome which we all agree is a good thing.
- oppyop 4y agoIt’s built by the creators of Vilvadi before they sold it to a Chinese company.. which seems like a good reason to avoid both of the browsers.
- thablackbull 4y agoReddit is also (partially) owned by a chinese company - people complain but ultimately not going to stop people from using. That's just global capital at work. Opera's team is still in Norway.
- rubyist5eva 4y agoYes, I think it's worth noting that Opera is still located/incorporated in Norway so they are still under the jurisdiction privacy laws there.
- zx8080 4y agoWhat are privacy laws in Norway comparing to Sweden (where they're pretty relaxed for corporations and goverment)?
- zx8080 4y agoNo engineers are situated in Norway for Opera AFAIK.
- rasz 4y agoOpera was sold to China, nowadays they run predatory loan scams in Africa https://hindenburgresearch.com/opera-phantom-of-the-turnaround/ https://hindenburgresearch.com/opera-phantom-of-the-turnarou...
