Is Opera Mini safe for online payments (PayPal) and shopping?

Could I have problems with PayPal if I use Opera Mini for online payments and generally online shopping?

I read that someone (a 2009 topic) got his PayPal account "access limited" for suspicious access to his account and he thought it was due to Opera Mini because it zips data with its servers.

I know Opera Software is a reliable company, but in 2014 can be this kind of problems with online payments?

Yes, Owned by Chinese.
And these poor Chinese companies have a very good reputation to track & profiling users and store user data to serve them to Chinese Govt. Even sell user data with ad publishers and also bombered users with annoying ads everywhere.
Just like once upon a time a very good reputed company named Opera now becomes an ad showing company who tracks user data.

@jackob11 You can replace Chinese by American for example.

And being owned by a Chinese group doesn't make Opera a Chinese company.
