Chinese bought the "Whole" Browser Business of Opera... That includes Opera for Android, Opera Mini, Opera VPN, Opera Beta, Opera for Mac, Windows, iOS, Everywhere it was available before ... Even new Opera GX browser for Windows or Android.. Everything that was under Opera name before is now bought by Chinese... And now under their control... So it's better to stay away from Opera Products...
Whole Consumer Business was bought by them(chinese)... If you liked old opera, try Vivaldi browser, it's a new browser made by one of Opera's Founder and Old CEO

I get it that Windows is ubiquitous, but we Linux users are much more in tune with security than our typical Windows counterparts. We would have been a better resource for debugging, as well.

So, is it safe to say that the VPN is under the Chinese entity, my friend ?

Opera use to have a dedicate client for VPN, but since the acquisition of the Chinese entity and the change of legislation for VPN in China, Opera has since then remove the dedicate VPN client.
And there were a huge backlash in the Opera community regarding the announce of the potential acquisition, and after that Opera has being quite about it. They manage to keep it under the radar pretty well with no immediate official announcement on if the deal happened.

No they don't.
Use Express VPN the best in the business.

Might as well remove Linux and install Windows 7.
Was Operas' business sold to the Chinese or was it just their VPN service?
I dislike the overall Firefox experience on Android but use it on Windows.
Brave on Android and Windows was also not a stellar experience so got rid of it.
Opera has been a great browser for me but I've had issues with their VPN not working at all even after a fresh windows install so just stopped using it and it's great I stopped long time ago.
Also found a browser based on chrome called SR WARE IRON that's made in Germany -anyone use this browser?

Firefox for mobile does have a bit of a poor UI but you should try Firefox Preview, that blows everything away.
They're soon gonna make Firefox for Android into Firefox Preview anyway.
LOL Linux users are last again. I use FF exclusively on my Linux laptop, and yet I am left behind. When MS Edge is supported on Linux, I will ditch FF. This treament of Linux users is unforgivable.
Why New Zealand but not Australia?! C'mon, if you can give the Kiwis access shouldn't it be a no-brainer to give to us!
Firefox no thanks, it keeps crashing no matter how many times i install it. As for lite just as useless. Opera is much better and liter than chrome on my phone and works much better than Firefox but not as good as chrome.
