The more people are telling: Stop using Opera, because itās spyware, the more I find pleasure in using it.
The louder they have to shout, the less they actually have to say.
Google, Edge or Safari, they all have their stengths and shortcomings, as they relate to some of the big companies. Hardly anyone does call them spyware whatsoever. Firefox might be an alternative for someone looking for a more private experience .
But people calling Opera spyware only to promote some tiny project that only does promote itself as private, is ridiculos. They donāt even have the ressources to keep their peoject safe. They are totally relying on Google, that they despise, to do the hard job for them. Remember: without Google there wouldnāt be anything like Brave or Vivaldi, as they donāt have enough people or money to maintain the source code. Same goes for all these Firefox forks, maintained by one or two people. Itās quite annoying that these projects are called browsers, as they are only variations of browsers.
Opera in my mind is the only OS independent Chromium variant, which isnāt only a fork but offers really something different and has more than hobbyist ressources.
As long as thereās no proof, for Opera doing something shady, Iāll be using Opera gladly.
But Iām glad, youāre addressing these allegations.
