Opera, once known for revolutionizing web browsing and pushing boundaries had to suffer in the last few years quite much.

First their origin engine was abandoned in favor of Chromium to be able to be competitive again which many users have not liked as many features have been taken away, then the possible news of a sale and now this.

What will the future bring for Opera? Nobody knows, there is only once constant: Many people feel not in favor that Chinese investors take control over the company and will leave Opera.
