Ok to everyone saying that "all browsers sell your data!" or "I dont care about my data being sold!" That's not the point. The whole reason I wanted to make this video is because Opera as a company is very shady. They try act like they care about privacy (through ad blocker, fake vpn) to the point of making it a main selling point of the browser, when in reality all of your data is being sent to China.

Look, everyone has different opinions on privacy, and whether you agree with me or not, I am NOT by any means going to use something that spies on me and collects all of my personal information.

A couple years ago, a man took pictures of his naked toddler for the doctor. Since he took this picture on his android phone, the photo was uploaded to google photos. So not only did the doctor end up getting the photo, but google got it as well. They immediately shut down all of his accounts and services that he had tied with google, and a police investigation was opened because of child ab*se. The police didn't find anything and concluded that no crime had occurred. However, google didn't give him is account back. He lost years of data that he had with google. Because of trusting google with his data, he lost many valuable and important things. (This is a true story btw look it up)

My argument isn't that I hate big corporations, and it isn't that my data is being sent to china. It's that time and time again, we see companies misusing it.

Everyone has a different level of privacy that they want to achieve, and it only takes little things (like changing your browser) to start living a more privacy focused lifestyle. We should support the people who create these privacy focused/open source applications (such as librewolf/firefox/brave) instead of the large companies who only want to use you for their benefit.

YOU should be in control of YOUR data. Not someone else.

Thanks for listening to my ted talk.

The funny thing is that even after some YouTubers get sponsored by Opera, I still see them using Chrome in later videos

If you like the old Opera check out Vivaldi, since the guy that built Opera sold it to a Chinese company and then started Vivaldi! Vivaldi does everything Opera can do PLUS More!!

"At least Google is open about what data they collect"
No WAY you believe this unironically.

"GX" probably stands for "Gamer Xperience" or something like that.

every company that is always in your face as sponsorships is almost guaranteed to always be a terrible product / service. Opera GX, betterhelp, manscaped, raycon and more, they are all bad!!
