    I stopped using Opera when the CCP bought up the company a few years ago.

      Yeah, that was a depressing discovery. I didn’t see any news about it but one day randomly wondered how opera could afford to develop a free browser that wasn’t FOSS. Digging into it was surprising. Not quite John McAfee surprising, but still sketchy. Like they were in the predatory banking industry and then there were the ties to China. It wasn’t hard to see that it was time to check out Firefox again.

      I stopped using Opera when they dropped their actual product in favor of yet another Chromium-based something.
