To Opera we're only shoppers now. This is what it is, when it's free you are the product. Thanks for all those years, but this is the last straw. Going to Firefox.

@curiouscroc Found a solution, installed the Vivaldi browser, how ironic!

@MissDonna I concur, this is quite annoying. Using an extension for now.

@qrc007 I'm using https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/disable-html5-autoplay/efdhoaajjjgckpbkoglidkeendpkolai but seems it's unmaintained

@andrew84 RIP

@leocg lol, i trust 100% more open sourced software than black box software. Practices like this is why open source exists.

@leocg Maybe it's time we grow a pair and say no and reclaim our digital privacy or what is left of it. AFAIK Firefox is Open Sourced.

Sounds like profiling bloatware to me. Please no.

@leocg Fine, but let me choose which ones i want to run.

@andrew84 The fact that it was shadily activated is questionable practice. It could be a bug indeed, but seriously, do people need such services for shopping? Looks like Opera is being capitalized, and I don't like/trust it.

@curiouscroc Vivaldi is chromium based as well, same devtools.

@curiouscroc Well now Opera is profiling you with their internal plugins that you cannot disable. Big G attentive behavior much.
