the chinese government isn’t behind every software that’s made in china lol
like yea, opera is spyware, but so are chrome, safari and edge, and none of these are made in china

what does the browser being Chinese have to do with anything?
depends on the OS!
DuckDuckGo uses the default rendering engine of whatever OS you use it on, so webkit (also used by safari) on macOS and iOS and blink (also used by edge and chrome) on windows and android
even if it uses the same rendering engine on some platforms, it’s not based on chromium, so it’s not a chromium browser
that's true, but platforms like rumble were created to be homes to the far right. we shouldn't encourage their existence.
fuck off out of here with your nazi platforms
iirc they tried to become a tiktok clone, no idea how it went but considering i never see anyone talk about it i doubt it went very well
would be nice if they shipped outside of europe…
i wonder if it’s actually possible to install linux on a machine without a CPU
the thing can read fucking SNES soundtrack files out of the box. i’m sure it could run a marathon if you asked it to
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
