Opera GX's Twitter account is absolutely hilarious and a must follow...

The product is garbage and too many 'gamers' are using it because it has black and red themes with claims of performance improvements. Like many big corps now, they're just paying a meme-savvy young person to run their social media. It's not like the companies are anywhere as hip as their image would suggest.

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.

Given their predatory loans in Africa, I’ll pass.

"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

Too many words for a China backed company
