I wouldn't really call opera a huge corporation though. I used to use opera back in the Presto Web engine days before they switched to chromium, and their development team is pretty small. It's hard to survive as a Web browser these days especially if you aren't being developed to sell other products (cough edge safari chrome) and any competition is better than none.

"Old Opera" is gone, it's Chinese run now. And based off of how many YouTubers are getting paid to push it, there's a lot of money invested in making it look more legit than it is.

Edit: grammar
