    If you think the Chinese regime isn’t using Opera as a potential attack vector then that’s just naive. Browsers are very critical pieces of software infrastructure.

      opera sure, but at that point, any proprietary software can be used as an attack vector by the government of the country the software is made in, that’s not specific to china

      i don’t see why chrome or safari should be considered more trustworthy than opera just because they aren’t made in china

        You really don’t see the difference between a flawed democracy with laws and regulations and an authoritarian regime? Tankie talk much?

          the USA is not a “flawed democracy”, its an authoritarian regime that imposes its will on the world through imperialistic means

          I don’t care to know if it’s better or worse than the chinese government, both are awful and both will get rid of you if they find you to be enough of a threat. fuck em both. fuck all governments really
