It is important to mention who owns the browser

Latest comment: 5 months ago3 comments3 people in discussion

For some reason the fact that it is owned by Chinese consortium, is unknown to most of the people who use it. 2A06:C701:4903:A200:FC72:201F:F603:C1F7 (talk) 21:37, 13 April 2023 (UTC)Reply

Ooh, a conspiracy theorist, huh? I'm 2 years late for the party, but, man. If you think that Opera is owned by China, maybe try looking for Opera in Poland. The Master of Hedgehogs ^{(converse) (hedgehogs)} 19:47, 8 February 2025 (UTC)Reply

There is no conspiracy. Since 2020, Opera is a subsidiary of Kunlun Tech Co. LTD. A Beijing based company owned by Zhou Yahui. While there is no public evidence of information sharing; by virtue of now being owned by a Chinese company, Opera is subject to the mandatory data sharing policy of the Chinese Government.

At the very least, that is worth mentioning. Taffy-nay (talk) 11:37, 16 March 2025 (UTC)Reply
