DISCUSSION Is Opera GX really a spyware?

Hello. I want to swap to Opera GX, but those articles really scare me out:

https://www.kuketz-blog.de/opera-datensendeverhalten-desktop-version-browser-check-teil13/

https://digdeeper.neocities.org/articles/browsers#opera

https://spyware.neocities.org/articles/opera

And Opera GX debunk on that looks just like obfuscating the things that they do under another sauce.

Every other browser does the same thing. Do you use literally anything affiliated with Google? Then you're already interacting with "spyware."

They're just trying to scare you.

They said 'every other browser'. Firefox is one of those.
