about opera... https://restoreprivacy.com/secure-browser/ (scroll down) opera vpn is a transparent proxy, weather they log or not, its crap. and i have in mind that i read that opera reborn do not filter ads on search pages. #only in german https://www.deskmodder.de/blog/2019...n-obwohl-ein-adblocker-aktiviert-ist-loesung/ "Opera shows ads on search pages even though an adblocker is enabled" (solved)
Opera used to be the fastest browser I ever used compared to all others. The thing would instantly open sites without the chokes and slows unrolling certain portions or jumping around to correct itself. It might be even better now. Wouldn't know because haven't tested it in a long while.
Why would you say that? (The goal of my question is to get information, NOT to challenge what you said. I honestly don't know much of anything about Opera.)
What a joke, Opera isn't even close to being perfect. Vivaldi is better in so may ways. But I do have to say that Opera is better than Chrome and Edge. It runs quite smoothly, so it's now my back-up browser, for testing stuff. So overall they did do a good job.
The thing is that Opera now integrates much better with Chinese phones with Chinese custom Android port, meaning they have probably done some work in that regard and possibly that also means some background changes!
