@dunjineer said in Relentlessly shoving Facebook Messenger in my face:
I hate Facebook and their policies with user data, which are the antithesis of privacy and user respect. I always turn off their services in the Opera side chat widget bar thing, and repeatedly I get a pop-up asking me to sign in or sign up.
I close it and delete/hide it.
It pops up again a few weeks/months later when I start opera again.
I posted a bug report about this, and mentioned it in a review. Clearly Facebook's ad/signup money is more important to Opera developers than it's users' sanity. remembering that Opera claims to have an "automatic ad-blocker" is the insult added to this injuiry.
this, coupled with other policy changes I noticed(automatically turning on some "safe" advertisers and other hidden user setting changes I catch here and there, very simply made me lose trust in Opera software, and the good intentions of its policy makers.I just finished downloading Firefox. Good bye Opera, it's been mostly good while it lasted the past couple of years.
Yes I agree with you.
