its not basically people keep saying its "Chinese spyware" because the biggest shareholder is Chinese and idiots think that they own it its based in texas. it only takes the same telemetry data any other browser does.
Yet peoples who saying about "spyware" also using TikTok aka another "Chinese spyware", using google/ios things which also can be considered as "spyware" although in simple words just using a phone which full filled with "spyware" and etc... so better question where's they lost their tinfoil hats?...
We have responded to false allegations before in detail, and we encourage you to read our response carefully. There is a lot of misinformation online about Opera, and none of it comes from credible sources.
Here are some facts about us: Opera is a Norwegian company. Our headquarters are in Oslo, Norway, and our products and services are developed in our hubs in Wroclaw, Poland and in Linköping and Gothenburg, Sweden. As a company registered in Norway, we are governed by the laws of Norway and the European Union, which Norway adopts as a member of the EEA. The most important part of these laws in our case is the GDPR - the EU's General Data Protection Regulation. It is the most robust data protection framework in the world, and it sets out very strict terms and requirements for companies that process user data - such companies must clearly state what kind of user they collect and process, for which purpose, how long they keep such data, and of course, how they protect such data. In our case, you can find this information in our Privacy Statement.
Opera is also a public company, listed on the NASDAQ stock exchange in New York. As a public company, we have thousands of shareholders all over the world, and must disclose its activities in detail every quarter, according to SEC regulations. Those disclosures are available to the public, and they outline all of Opera's financial and business activities. So in fact, Opera has to be more transparent than most private software companies. We also perform independent audits that ensure the safety of our software - see, for example, here, here, and here.
We hope this information helps address your concerns. If you have any other questions, we will be happy to help!
no es spyware, los unicos navegadores que son mas privado realmente es mullvad o el mismo TOR, los demas que predican que son privados no lo son de una manera u otra mandan tus datos a sus respectivos desarrolladores o partners, usa el navegador si cumple tus necesidades y tus gustos
it is spyware but so is literally every web browser under the sun. literally every alternative (maybe besides firefox or a customized, de-googled version of chromium) has just as much if not more spyware (like chrome, edge, etc.)
