General reliability, security and privacy of Opera

TheCelticCross last edited byI‘m really liking to use Opera for its modern design, fantastic features and nice performance.
But I‘ve also read and heard some worrying stuff about it.
I know that Opera has been refuting all these allegations as wrong and misleading.
Yet, I wonder if there‘s some neutral and serious review of the browser from an independent side which would calm any worries.. And yes, I‘ve read through the privacy statement. -

@TheCelticCross What would be those allegations? They are from any reliable source?

@leocg Thank you for responding. I think of so many reviews and videos by people, who highlight the Chinese owners and massive data collection.
I actually don't know how serious they are. As one example from Germany, my home country, I could name Kuketz Blog, claiming that Opera is the outright contrast to privacy

@TheCelticCross Never saw any of those articles, I only keep seeing people posting here and there asking if Opera is really safe because they heard somewhere that Opera is owned by Chinese and all Chinese companies are spies of the government and, because of that, users information is sent to China, what doesn't make any sense.

I've had enough to hear people saying that. Google Chrome who is American and owned by Google, doesn't spy? Let's be honest.
