[Duplicated]I read non credible rumours regarding privacy in Opera, should I believe them?

I would like to try using Opera rather than Chrome as my main browser to see if it is less resource intensive. I have read many opinions about the browser regarding its supposed lack of privacy now that it is owned or partly owned by a Chinese company. I can't find anything credible to make me anymore suspicious of the browser than I am of Chrome (which I currently use). I know Google is interested in my browsing behavior and, for the most part, I'm ok with that (it's free after all- they need to get something out of it). Is there any real, verified reason to not use Opera, including for online shopping and banking? I see this has been addressed in this sub a couple of times but not recently (most posts are a year or more old). I'd love others' opinions and, even better, I'd like to know if there is anything real I should be aware of? Thanks in advance.

@naitika01 (Part of)Opera Software was acquired in 2016, so those "opinions" are almost ten years late.
Any of those "opinions" are from a reliable source? Or just from some random unimportant people on the web?
Any way, see https://www.opera.com/privacy and https://blogs.opera.com/security/2023/07/debunking-spyware-misinformation/
