Opera cons notwithstanding, Opera One is really nice as a browser.
Firefox itself has some UI quirks that can cause a bit of friction.
Chrome always feels like it just works, but I rely on Google's ecosystem frequently.
Opera has in the past been caught passing all of its users' data through their servers, decrypting and re-encrypting it there all while telling the users that the data was encrypted end-to-end.
Wouldn't you need to trust shady certs to do this? I'm surprised they could even MITM in this day and age unless they just damn included sus certs in your cacerts.
