      Is Opera safe and does it respect privacy and security like Brave and Firefox Does. I ask because it seems opera does not have a good reputation when it comes to privacy and security.

        @powerdragonhd You can read Opera's privacy policy and take your own conclusion.

        Regarding security, Opera is probably one of the most secure browsers.

          @leocg Ok thank you for the response. Is this information still true with Opera the Company https://forums.opera.com/topic/37155/opera-browser-is-owned-by-a-chinese-company/10. and what I'm trying to say is Opera Just as safe as Brave and Firefox with you data and Privacy? sorry if the grammar does not make since I just did not know how to word that properly.

              Ok. I'm saying is does Opera still follow Norway Privacy laws because it Owned by a Chinese Company read this reddit article and tell me if this is correct or not: https://www.reddit.com/r/operabrowser/comments/7u7ksj/opera_for_example_is_a_norwegian_company/dtij7yb/

                @powerdragonhd https://www.opera.com/about Yes, Opera is a Norwegian company and always will be, unless they close the company and open a new one somewhere else.

                        @powerdragonhd The original one without its Opera part should help solving such issues.

                            @powerdragonhd Keep only the Chromium part of the user agent, remove the OPeRa part of it.

                                @powerdragonhd I don't have any to recommend. One more recently updated would be better, also one that allows to change the user agent per site.

                                          1. is there a dedicated Opera start page?

                                          2. There seems to be a little red ! on a person icon top right corner

                                          3. Can Speed Dial page be set for start/home page?

                                            1. What do you mean?

                                            2. It probably means an issue with Sync

                                            3. Yes
