It's owned by a Chinese company. Also, it's not really the same browser as it was some years ago. Back then they still ran their own engine (Presto), now it's the same Chromium base as most other browsers. Some of the original Opera team went and made Vivaldi, which brings back some of the old Opera's features but is still Chrome at heart.

Thanks for the info. Been using Opera for years, always liked it.

Might have to check out Vivaldi then.

Any advice on how best to switch and use the other browser?

I wish I knew, I'm actually using both intermittently. You can import data from one browser to the other but there are things Vivaldi does that annoy me like not having the smart clipboard function or making unhelpful autocompletes. Then again, Opera also has issues with autocomplete, occasionally making me visit sites I'm not interested at all because I hit enter too quickly 🙄 Plus it's hogging a lot of resources, Vivaldi seems a bit better in that regard.
