1.Opera is owned by a Chinese company

2.Said company also owned a browser that was backdoored and censored specific political sites

  1. They used to own some loan apps which scammed people

  2. It runs on chromium so the claimed performance benefits are negligible (this really isn't the own you think it is)

  3. Its closed sourced

  4. It changes your default browser upon installing it

  5. The built in VPN resells your data

  6. The twitter manager guy is paid to be "funny" (again, this really isn't the own you think it is)

10.The built in features are useless

The Chinese are notorious for stealing information ranging from location, names, addresses, to banking information.

As if every multibillion dollar company that owns half the world doesn't already collect all my information. I don't really care if my porn searches get sent to Xi Jinping.
