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
Especially with the crap that Google is trying to implement in the near future with DRMs preventing ad blockers
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.
Its literally from a chines company and chromium.
You can’t get more bad unless you directly implement NFTs and Crypto shit like Brave.
