What's your opinion on Opera browser?

I've been using Opera for a few years now 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 lot on here)

AffineConnection,

It’s just another Chromium browser now.

Opera 12 was my main browser until it died and was replaced by a completely unrelated and terrible browser called Opera 2013. Opera 12’s spiritual successor is Vivaldi, and that’s what I still use now.

Vivaldi is the only browser that has all of the UI features that I want… No amount of extensions and customization of Chrome, Edge, or Firefox has been able to come anywhere close to matching it.

argv_minus_one,

Proprietary. Don’t trust it.

CanadianBaconeer,

Chrome reskin; Firefox and Vivaldi (made by Opera’s creator and former owner) are much better browsers.

not_sure,

i stopped using it after learning that it was chinese owned. back to firefox.

Spyware and something a virus will install on your computer. I used it for a while but eventually went back to brave or a Firefox fork.
