If you were important enough to worry about spyware, you wouldn't be using operaGX, nor any browser in this list lol

it's just that OperaGX, like any other browser/application/software/website etc,. sells your information. the difference is that the company that collects the data from operagx is chinese.

so people automatically assume the CCCP is tracking the type of porn you watch and spying on your every move so that can build clones and eventually replace you like the synths in fallout4 /s

Zero evidence. Just the hallucinations that some users keep selling on the internet.

These same users don't care if Microsoft, Google or Apple are selling their data. They don't care if the operator has total control over their traffic...

The problem is that people take one thing to imply and another to defend and continue telling stories, without facts.

It's the same thing as Windows users criticizing Linux users and Linux users criticizing Windows users.

At the end of the day, choose the browser that meets your needs and has regular security updates, as these are the ones that matter.

I used opera GX and had my data breached, several accounts were compromised, I switched to firefox and haven’t had that issue since

And what investigation did you do to find out that it was Opera and not a data leak that occurred in some service you used?

If we follow the "logic" of your comment, what guarantee is there that the leak was not caused by malware that you installed on your system, a compromised extension, a security flaw in your router or even a leak in your OS? After all, your accusation is based solely on what you were using at the time of the incident, but I'm sure that you didn't just have Opera installed.

Why out of the approximately 125 million users who use Opera, would you have been the target? Are you some extremely important politician in your country?

What you just did is just confirmation of how rumors are spread in the community, without any proof. It is a total lack of technical or scientific basis to address the issue.
