(Current Opera isn’t much different – there is is a lot of trash features that I have to turn off to make it usable… if Chrome loaded websites as fast as Opera, I wouldn’t have to deal with Opera) The development focusing on adding whatever useless gimmicky features they could think of. Vivaldi on the other hand feels like it’s stuck in development hell with bugs and issues from back in 2015 still present in the browser. Only when Opera switched to Blink or WebKit so that it could make use of Chrome’s extensions, it became worth of something. Even back around 2007 Firefox has smoked it with it add-ons and ad-blocking capabilities. The Presto Opera under Jon von Tetzchner wasn’t much better either. I don’t care about Opera or what happens to it, it’s just a tool that I use. I will keep using it until it shuts down and find another Chromium fork. I use Opera only because it loads pages faster than Chrome for whatever reason. If that would not be bad enough already, Hindenburg Research's analysis suggests that Opera's CEO is directing company cash into businesses owned by the Chairman to "draw out cash". The company concludes that these applications may be removed by Google at any time which in turn would cause Opera Software to lose a large part of the company's revenue.Īccording to Hindenburg, Opera generates "over 42% of the company's revenue" from its short-term loan business. The bulk of Opera's lending business is operated through applications offered on Google's Play Store according to Hindenburg Research and in "violation of numerous Google rules". It uncovered that Opera's CEO "was recently involved in a Chinese lending business" that saw its shares plunge by more than "80% in two years" and that Opera has started to make a "similar and dramatic pivot into predatory short-term loans in Africa and India".
