I’ve been using Opera for a few years now, ever since my brother recommended it to me, and I’ve been enjoying its features, UI and everything. However, I (surprisingly to me) haven’t noticed many people mentioning it. Also, when I was on Reddit and mentioned that I use it I got downvoted which left me somewhat confused haha.
So I’m wondering if there’s anything wrong with it and/or if I should give another browser a go (I noticed Firefox is mentioned a ton on here)
Nothing is wrong with it, people just tend to downvote if they don’t agree with someone’s choices.
I personally use Firefox, but only because I don’t like chromium based web engines
Its literally from a chines company and chromium.
You can’t get more bad unless you directly implement NFTs and Crypto shit like Brave.
I was an Opera user for years, but when all the browsers started moving to Chromium (including Opera) like they forgot what a bad time it was with the IE monopoly, I went to Firefox and never use Chromium browsers if I can help it.
Also I was starting to become aware of the privacy aspects and moving away from Google, et al. Opera sold their browser division to some Chinese companies, which for a closed-source product means as far as privacy is concerned, you can’t trust it anymore.
Especially with the crap that Google is trying to implement in the near future with DRMs preventing ad blockers
