      In a Tech Radar review, the author wrote the following:

      "Some find it troubling that in 2016, Opera was sold to a Chinese consortium. The country’s tech companies have been in the news in the past for controversial privacy policy and data sharing issues. That said, Opera does claim to allow you to disable certain data collection processes in settings... If privacy is your priority or you have sensitive data that you need to keep safe, Opera probably isn’t the best choice. Otherwise, there are a number of tools and settings that will keep you reasonably protected while browsing with Opera.

      Two questions: 1) What are these tools and settings to keep us safe while browsing? 2) How would one go about disabling this data collection?
