I’ve been using Opera for a few years now and I’ve been enjoying its features, UI and everything. However, I (surprisingly to me) haven’t noticed many people mentioning it. Also, when I was on Reddit and mentioned that I use it I got downvoted which left me somewhat confused haha.

So I’m wondering if there’s anything wrong with it and/or if I should give another browser a go (I noticed Firefox is mentioned a lot on here)

    If you want a Chromium browser that isn’t Chrome or Edge, use Brave.

    Opera was acquired by a Chinese company in 2016 and has gone downhill.

    Firefox is popular with an emphasis on privacy. It is also one of the few mainstream browsers not using Chromium or WebKit

      If you really want to use a chromium browser, Vivaldi is the only one I’d trust to not maliciously use my data. It was made by the people that used to own and develop opera and it has a big focus on both customization and privacy.

      Also the android version of it allows you to stack tabs just like in the desktop version, and I don’t know of any other browser on android that let’s you do that so that’s pretty cool too.
