        @anothermemberofsociety Don't know and don't see the relevance for the discussion about if Opera GX is safe or not.

          Quihoo been accused of a lot of things in the past, and in 2016 they bought part of Opera company, so doesn't that mean they are using the software as a way to spy?

            @anothermemberofsociety You probably wrote that post using a computer/phone made in China or with several components made there. So, I guess you can make the same question.

            Such questions were already answered several times, so just do a search or navigate on the forums.
            Basically you should remember that Opera is a Norwegian company and, also, the main company is listed on Nasdaq.

                      @anothermemberofsociety If I remember correctly there were some rumors about it but that was all. And loans are predatory by nature.

                      Anyway, these forums are for discussions about the Opera's browsers and their included services. For discussions about other Opera Ltd products, go to their own pages.

                        is it being used to steal on your data?

                          @anothermemberofsociety I think it is safe.

                              @anothermemberofsociety I could have said that Opera's VPN is safe, what difference would it make?

                                  @anothermemberofsociety It's just a matter of put the brain to work, Opera is a Norwegian company and, therefore, has to follow Norwegian laws.

                                    @leocg Oh i see, makes sense to me, it's just because since it was sold it could've change the privacy laws

                                      @anothermemberofsociety By the way, you shouldn't forget that Opera may also have to follow the laws of the countries where it has offices.

                                        @leocg Oh i understand, but those apply to the respective countries? Because laws in norway are different from china or Poland, so which one would be applied here?

                                          @anothermemberofsociety Yes, they are valid for and in those countries.

                                          I mean, if an American company opens a branch in Indonesia, it has to follow American laws but also the Indonesian one for what happens in Indonesia.
