@generosus Following your reasoning, you should pay attention to one thing: the function of the Chief Information Security Officer at Brave (so praised by you), is performed by Yan Zhu, born in Beijing, China! Besides, you're making yourself look like an employee of a marketing agency doing intrusive buzz marketing for Brave, and you haven't provided ANY evidence that we're dealing with spyware.
@generosus Of course I don't think you work for anyone, but your argument sounds like one. If brave suits you - great. I also use this browser sometimes, but I don't think that writing on their forums and channels how bad they are is a proper way to communicate that. As for the new Opera browser, I think it was released in a stable version too early. There are a couple of bugs to fix.
I think it's worth keeping rational perception. A Chinese on the board or even as a shareholder does not make a Norwegian or American company immediately Chinese. The same way Microsoft and Google could be seen as "Indian" since their indian CEOs took over. But it ain't.
You are succumbing to the paranoia fueled by the right wing media. FOX News lost a recently a lawsuit against a company called Dominion. The TV station claimed it had ties to "Chinese Communists."
Opera, having its headquarters in Norway and offices, among others in Poland (key countries on NATO's eastern flank) is certainly under surveillance by the US and other services. If data leaks or data transfer to China took place - such information along with evidence would certainly have been published, for example in the form of some journalistic investigation.
We are dealing here with a rumor that is popular in the current geopolitical situation.
@fuckopera69420 Firefox?
A browser which doesn't support tab grouping and handles multiple tabs with a horizontal scroll, making it easier to distinguish between tabs.
Takes a lot of memory to run. Even with an up-to-date computer, some users may find that it becomes hard to run the browser when several other programs are open.
