I didn't think that the Opera startup was acceptable at all. It preloaded cookies from more than a dozen 3rd party sites.


Opera is basically compromised and people should know about it.


Can you give some more info on this? A quick DDG search revealed nothing.


That's when you go to Google. Asking us is akin to using us as a proxy for Google.


I googled it and got a bunch of articles about data breaches of Opera services.

What I understood the GP post to be is that the owners of the browser do shady stuff, which I found no evidence for on Google (or DDG). So was Opera compromised by a third party or is Opera compromised by the first party (malicious owners?).


One could use the Startpage bang !sp to use them as a proxy for Google.
