A chinese web browser that refuses to let people see the source code, no thanks, there are secure alternatives.

It's not like Opera is anything unique, it uses the same base as Google Chrome (Chromium).

[2016](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Opera_(web_browser)#Acquisition_by_Chinese_consortium), apparently

> In 2016, the company changed ownership when a group of Chinese investors purchased the web browser, the consumer business, and the Opera Software ASA brand. On 18 July 2016, Opera Software ASA announced it had sold its browser, privacy and performance apps, and the Opera brand to Golden Brick Capital Private Equity Fund I Limited Partnership, a consortium of Chinese investors.

Opera died the day they threw out their own engine in favor of chromium.
