Note that the most recent added was in April of 2018. I am sure that there have been updates.

It is also of interest that Opera is based on Chromium, so vulnerabilities in Chromium may also be resident in Opera, but not checked for that residence.
Always be aware of what you sign up for, and what your agreement entails, as far as your security is concerned.

They think that chinese company can access user data. Sorry, the chinese company may own a controlling share of Opera, but Opera is incorporated in Norway and has to obey strict Norwegian privacy laws. Who owns shares in the company can't change that.

I don't understand how some users are concerned about security.

Well, I've been a Opera user for about twenty five years and I am not concerned about security.

I can say. I personally do not know that it has been verified by reliable sources. However, as I said, I've heard that some Opera users are concerned about security.
