Right, so it seems like they changed their target audience.
The list of extensions for "power-users who miss previous features" is a slap in the face. A half-broken bookmarks extension and then two extensions that are using data-hungry web services. Replacing the simple notes functionality with evernote? What the hell happened to my privacy and my data being local on my machine.
- dgesang 13y agoThe NSA already knows anyway.
- mih 13y agoNotes were still synced with Opera link so there never was any privacy. Still using Evernote to save little snippets is like using my 4WD to visit the neighborhood shop when my bicycle would do.
- Sprint 13y agoI never used Opera link as it was optional and off by default as it should be. :)
- bru 13y ago>Notes were still synced with Opera link so there never was any privacy I prefer giving my data to a Norwegian company rather than an American one, especially in the light of the recent events. Moreover, Opera has a clean track record of the matter of privacy, while they were times when they could have abused their power: a substantial part of mobile traffic[1] was going through their servers due to Opera Turbo technology, and AFAIK they did not try to exploit it. 1: They still owned more than 20% of the market in 2011. I do not know which part of the users were using Turbo regularly, but I believe they were a lot in the pre-smartphone times.
- PavlovsCat 13y agoYup, I think it's safe to assume whoever the clever people were who made Opera what it was, have long since left the building. This guy is like a blind man talking about a painting; I can't shut him up, but I won't listen to it either. RIP Opera, and thanks to all the unknown people with all those little and big smart ideas.
