They are different products in the sense that they offer different features/benefits e.g., there's the standard Opera browser, Opera GX which is designed specifically for gaming, Opera Mini which is a "lightweight" but less feature rich browser (currently only available for Android), Opera Touch which is designed for one-handed use (also currently only available for Android), and Opera Developer which is designed for developers to test and explore new/upcoming Opera features.

Opera is still around? It's like finding out Haircut 100 are still together and have a new album.
Earlier, I also found information confirming that Russians are also involved in the development of this browser.
But now I can't find it.
Can you drop me some links? (You can do it in private messages).

Haven’t used Opera since the built in browser on the Nintendo Wii lol…
Opera is a great browser. I don’t understand the bad comments about China. US company’s are not better. Apple is better. That’s for sure. But ones are not.
So Ai makes an image and Voice recognition types for me what else is there?
Ai this and Ai that. There sure is a lot of hype for not much.
Speak and spell with add a picture yea....
ok not quite a technology marvel yet.

One:
any proofs of opera actually following EU law? Or is it “just trust me bro”?
Some otherwise unknown dude makes a YouTube video and all of a sudden that is some sort of evidence about Opera? And that channel, if one looks at it's videos, does not inspire confidence in that the channel owner really has a full grasp on the issues of security and products.
To whoever disliked my comment about defining Sinophobia, I’m confused. Do you not agree on what the word means?

No, the problem is the chart you posted uses different sources for data. For example, "Wikimedia" and "NetMarketShare" show drastically different percentages for the exact same month/year (October 2021).
I used Statcounter, which was also used for February 2022, February 2023 and May 2024 in the chart you posted. You had stated that Opera "gained a lot of popularity" over the past five years and therefore I used one source (Statcounter) to compare Opera's share in July 2019 to July 2024 and found it had declined from 2.58% to 2.06% for those months/years.
Give me some evidence from official websites or from major respected tech sites, instead from neocities sites, blogs, YouTube teenagers and self declared privacy experts. I see your reply as a joke. Many thanks
Anytime I see a news post about Opera the Chinese conspiracy theories come flying in quickly. I am not sure why these people want to damage the reputation of Opera. Is it because they want no browser competition and choices, or maybe they want to push everyone to use Chrome, and we know how trustworthy Google is (sarcasm).
I suggest anyone worried about the privacy of Opera to read this: https://blogs.opera.com/security/2023/07/debunking-spyware-misinformation/
I found that post explains some of the misconceptions brought up, and provide links to their privacy statement which you can fully read. Once you read that blog post and Opera's policy statement and still don't agree with their privacy, then make the decision not to use it. Don't haphazardly listen to the conspiracists that always pop up out of the woodwork to slam Opera, please make informed choices.
With that said, also understand Opera has to make money and might have features to accomplish that goal (in the same way most of the browsers do), but you always have the option to change or disable them. Lastly, Opera is listed on the NASDAQ stock exchange (the only pure browser company I know that has done so, unless you count Google and Apple). Why would they purposely hide malicious activity, which if discovered would ruin their stock.
These Chinese theories don't make sense nor have been proven by a reputable source, so I use Opera without any worry when it comes to privacy. The reason I might consider leaving Opera in the future has nothing to do with privacy, it has more to do with all the Chromium browsers getting rid of Manifest V2. If Opera follows that path like all the other browser makers using Chromium, then it looks like I will be moving to Firefox since they will be supporting Manifest V2 into the future.
Personally, I want competition, so the more browsers the better.Nobody wanted this
They did just add Handoff support. I haven't personally found it particularly battery hungry. Used it all day yesterday for like fourteen hours on battery.
I want your phone if it lasts 14 hours while surfing the web. The 15PM may have 14 hours of battery life, but not while continuously surfing the web. Web browsers significantly cut battery time. Sounds like you're telling a tall
