Hello, this might be a question to @Opera-Security , if you were so kind to answer then.
But I wonder, as Chromium 126 just came out with security fixes and Opera 111 was released the other day with only Chromium 125.
How secure can we Opera users be that we're not left with unfixed security holes.
For me, it looks as if Opera was always some versions behind. But how does this affect the security of the browser?
I hope you can explain because this seems to be a general question, maybe by writing a blog post or so.
Thank you very much for caring.

@leuchtfeuer812 Hello, thanks for your question! While we generally keep up with the most current version of Chromium, that is not always possible. However, even when we are not on the absolutely latest version, we still make sure to backport all current security fixes so our users' security is not compromised. In addition, we have set up a fast-track method of implementing security fixes that address zero-day vulnerabilities without having to wait for a full Chromium upgrade. Hope this helps!

@opera-security Thank you very much. That was a really pressing question for me. For me it‘s very important to be protected from security threats. I rely very heavily on Opera for its pleasant features. So it’s good to know that it’s safe on this side, too.

Opera has been updated nearly two weeks ago. Since then to my knowledge two severe Chromium issues had to been addressed and they were in all major Chromium built browsers. I doubt they were fixed by Opera in advance, were they?
Even tiny Vivaldi seem to be quicker in fixing issues like that. I just Wonder.
