With the number of people concerned about privacy, it is a wonder why chrome is even popular.

    Opera cons notwithstanding, Opera One is really nice as a browser.

    Firefox itself has some UI quirks that can cause a bit of friction.

    Chrome always feels like it just works, but I rely on Google’s ecosystem frequently.

      Opera is Chinese spyware. Look up Vivaldi, it’s Opera on steroids but with none of the privacy risks…it was also made by the original creator of Opera.

        Great Idea! I keep forgetting to. I don’t really mind being spied on by the Chinese since they already have their finger in many other pies I like to eat…and upon writing this I realized how foolish I am!

      Opera has in the past been caught passing all of its users’ data through their servers, decrypting and re-encrypting it there all while telling the users that the data was encrypted end-to-end.

        Wouldn’t you need to trust shady certs to do this? I’m surprised they could even MITM in this day and age unless they just damn included sus certs in your cacerts.
