Headquarters still at Oslo, Norway.
But is currently owned by Chinese company.
Opera (company) - Wikipedia
Interesting idea. But I find staying far away from social media and Google is enough to take most of the stress out of the web.
Very thankful for the comments above exposing the Chinese ownership. I tried Opera many many years ago and removed it.

The internet is sliding into being land mine fields of hidden Chinese traps trying to gain access to a person's data.

Its a registered Norwegian company and its based in Oslo. It has Chinese investors, which is not the same thing. I have shares in Apple, but that doesnt make it an Australian company for example. I haven't seen a single BBQ or esky in any of Tim's videos at the donut centre.
Nope, it's still registered in Norway, pays there taxes and underlines the local laws.
Manchester City is still an English soccer club, but its owned by Arabs.
Volvo also owned by the Chinese is still a Swedish company.
So they have to comply the same privacy laws as Vivaldi.
That's all. Thanks!
Try the Orion browser. It’s free, not tied to Kagi’s paid search engine.
Yes, and TikTok is headquartered in Los Angeles and Singapore, not in China. The Opera CEO and chairman is a Chinese billionnaire and the founder of Kunlun Tech Co, of which Opera is a subsidiary. I wasn't implicating anything about privacy laws. Even if Opera was headquartered in China, it would still have to follow European privacy laws when operating in Europe.
I'm gonna go out on a limb here and say they meant that as you don't need to have a Kagi subscription to use their browser.
Not exactly. Opera is also "owned" by several US Venture Capital. A questions to all the China-storytellers: do they also have access to "personal data"? LOL
When anti-plastic sentiment was at its height in the 1970s and lots of legislation was about to be passed banning and/or lessening the use, the plastic companies invented recycling as a response. If they could convince us it was responsible to use plastic because they would recycle it (they don't, of course), then they would have an excuse to keep on producing it.
This has got to be a similar sentiment. Pretty gross. Get off the internet if you need to relax.
