      @blackbird71 turn, xD
      I don't know too much about.
      ...

      I do know that in stock markets, there are folks who sell stocks 'short" at a current market price (without actually owning it, but promise to deliver it to the buyer at some future point in time) and hope to profit if the future stock price goes down before they must purchase it to cover their sale. In some cases, short sellers have tried aggressively (and even illegally) to use scare tactics to drive the stock's price down so their cost to cover the short sale will be greatly reduced, hence their profit much higher.

      I'm not a lawyer, but the serious and directed nature of the Hindenburg Report's accusations about Opera, if not based in fact, would certainly call for Opera's legal action against Hindenburg in the realms of both attempted stock manipulation and libel. The question is what, if anything, Opera will do in response. If there is no Opera response other than a PR statement, I will be greatly concerned.

        I'm far from being someone who can understand all those numbers, but it doesn't seem to me that Opera is going down like that site seems to be trying to show.

          But if you meant that some people shells services whit lack of features, that would be the reason.

            I am sad about this controversy, I am sure Opera is in full damage control and the frowned upon practices will stop.

            I am not going to stop using Opera or Opera mobile. I will weather the storm.
            Opera is the best desktop browser for my needs as a power user.

              But I said that the Opera VPN is not secure because it is still possible to track where the user has logged in with the appropriate tools.

              If it needs encryption and does not has, then sure.
              But dedicated VPN services would not log but be also unencrypted.

              Thats what I am talking about: The Opera VPN setting; when I set it to
              Asia = shows no location at all
              North/South US = shows Dakota/US
              Europe = shows nothing, or ones it says Fance ...

              See here

              If you using AirVPN - it works fine 馃檪 Only with Opera VPN it doesn't!

                Sorry, but I don't understand you point ...(?) Whats VPN is good for if anyone can see your origin IP adress via WebRTC?

                  @senix The problem is on the sites that you are using to check the location. They are guessing it wrongly.

                    I've tested on a Clean Profile and the result is the same, the detected IP came from the Opera VPN server and not mine.

                    So, try those URLs:

                    • Ipleak.net
                    • iplocation.net

                    And some others.

                    --

                    Share which you've tested and shows up the origin IP.

                        Both of them are working correctly - now!
                        It was different before, on Opera.

                        Don't ask me why the screenshot is so messed up ... 馃槥 (when you click on it, and it is enlarged, then it is correct).

                          I don't know.

                          Maybe an extension or Flag was involved?
                          A Bug on older Opera versions?
                          OS changes?

                          At least for now you know it's working.
                          Keep testing it to be sure.

                          Your other check websites work fine too?

                            Ja, most of them are correct, but some sites are sometimes in Sveden, or in Ukraine. An hour ago I had the same site (gmx net) in Paris and then in Ukraine 馃槈
                            Well, its not that bad, just strange ...

                            My Add-Ons the same since month, I don't change my system not that often.

                            BTW
                            I use Linux openSuse Tumbleweed as main, and Leap 15.1 is my alternate; and also have windows 10, but don't use it very often ... And I haven't test all this on Windows yet.

                              Just run the upgrade from .27 to 66.0.3515.36 and it looks much better, I guess.
                              All sites now are correctly displayed ... may it was a 馃悰

                              Thx for your help 馃檪

                                Hallo,
                                If you delete my post, because I don't understand yours in this translation, then maybe next time please let me know, so I know why; furthermore I wanted to write to you, with a PN, doesn't work either, because you deactivated it. Also as a mod you could (maybe) be reachable if users have questions. Delete and move posts, that seems to be your hobby 馃槥

                                    That makes no difference.
                                    It would have been nice if you sent me a message, or just put the translation underneath. Then everyone would have understood, just delete posts, that's... 馃槥
                                    And that's why I was, or I am still mad, because it wasn't the only one of my posts that you delete or move.
