Opera is not a trustworthy browser and there has been no point in it existing since they stopped using presto.

~Why is that? Any extra resources on it not being trustworthy?~

Nevermind, I just read other comments below :)

Basically, owned by a Chinese company and based on Chromium. If you need something based on Chromium, I recommend Brave since it has a built-in ad-blocker. I use it as a backup, and it works well for the odd page that doesn't work in Firefox. That said, I recommend Firefox or one of its forks over anything Chromium based.

Exactly. I used Opera until they dropped Presto and went back to Firefox.
