My Opera was not making any money for Opera and only thing they were getting from it was brand loyalty and good will from the My Opera users.

My Opera was a really nice thing to have and I am sad too that it is gone, but I am not faulting the people who were paying for it for closing it down.

Personally, I find Facebook to be untrustworthy company and would never give them my information to sell.

Don't really see Vivaldi as Facebook clone, it is more like clone or child of My Opera. Vivaldi is not perfect (neither was My Opera), but they are working on it.

... and Opera thought that time had passed the need for it (Facebook and such taking its place).

It's like "bomb USA because there is Canada".

Lots of people moved to https://vivaldi.net/ after My Opera closed.

Your vivaldi is a glitchy clone of Facebook. Why not use Facebook?

It was full of spam and falling apart after years of neglect and Opera thought that time had passed the need for it (Facebook and such taking its place).
