That deal never went through, that being said, a deal did go through though. The web browser has been mainly untouched as far as I can read as I dove into this a bit more. Anyway, information only gets sent if you allow it to... if you don't take extra precautions on top of web browser protection, you are going to get your data stolen anyway.
I mean facebook, google, etc... all cull your data and sell it, so do you really think anything you say is private any more?

Damn, I never knew this. I've used Opera for a long time and it has gotten significantly worse over the past 3 years.
I still much prefer it over Chome or Firefox but some idiots at Opera have decided to slowly become more and more like Chrome and sacrifice things that made their browser unique. I try to run old versions of it most of the time but bloated "modern" websites and videos hardly work when using them.

Yeah, every browser is having that issue today.

I don't want javascript on websites, I just want more shortcuts and the ability to browse faster.
It's so frustrating to have shortcuts and functions that you've used for 10 years suddenly be removed.

Yeah, but the problem is that JS has been "sped up" so people think it's a cool new thing to work with... when in reality it hasn't been sped up enough to make most of us happy.

I'm not a fan of modern website design. It favors design over function which makes finding the information I am looking for, the main reason I visit most websites, difficult. Although I am glad there is less and less Flash being used.

The mobile version is garbage now. It's sad what they did to Opera.

When HTML5 doesn't require in many cases need extensions to run insecure products, the security possibility to abuse HTML5 is great...
