Comments and Reviews
It's not a perfect match for privacy (can't win with Firefox), but after hardening by some proper extensions and forgetting that it's not open source - it's my guilty pleasure browser. Cool design, cool sidebar and few options that makes it better than a classic Opera (like customization or dark mode).
How to easily discard this as an option:
Randomly asks the user for Firewall permissions. If you're one of those Windows users that installs everything with elevated-rights, more-likely you had never seen this awful behaviour by any Opera flavour. You shall never install any web browser as admin unless IT administrative scenarios.
Also every time it gets updated it keeps the previous versions stored, so yeah, eventually you end-up with a lot of storage being used by those and have to manually delete them.

Unless you care about privacy, this is the perfect browser for all your resource-reducing and gaming needs. If you do care, though, then...
While the browser is kind of controversial nowadays, i have been using this browser for a long time and i honestly love it, however if you care about your privicy on the internet then use firefox if not, then this browser might be for you if you are into gaming.
Based on Chromium, most likely spies on your browsing (like regular Opera).

The only reason I'm giving it a 2 is because 1. it has good features and 2. I haven't 100% confirmed that Opera GX spies on you (but it's really likely. ill be doing some tests later)
I think that's just a hoax, Opera is not spyware i believe.
Opera's spying on users is easily provable, and there's conflict of interest all over its ownership. The browser itself is a giant hoax.
Opera GX is one of my favorites!
