Is this a shitpost or is that idiot actually telling me not to use Opera because of alleged investor fraud in 2020?

I don't give a fuck about that, mate, when the other option is a Monopoly that literally removed the "Don't be Evil" clause from their code of conduct. If you want me to stop using Opera then you'll have to give me a reason about the specifications of the program, not about the company's petty crimes due to Chinese regulatory failures.

Yeah, if I stopped using/buying a product just because the company behind it did something slightly shitty, I wouldn't have any belongings, food, etc.

I use Firefox just as much as I use opera gx, I use them on each of my browsers. Opera gx is more primary but yeah...

I dont know what I would replace it with. Brave, I guess?

I've been using Firefox as my "home" browser and Opera GX as my "work" browser. On Windows, it's easy to set up launch profiles but not so much on Mac. I need to figure out a solution to this before I can transition.
