Are Opera and it's derivatives affected by this?
-
Yes. There's only 3 major browsers. Chromium (Chrome), Firefox, WebKit (Safari). Nearly every other webbrowser is a fork of one of these, most are forks of Chromium, including Opera. As such, most webbrowsers will be affected by the change.
-
Good, hopefully I can convince my friends to switch over

What's duck duck go's browser?
-
DuckDuckGo's webbrowser is somewhat unique, in the sense that it isn't its own browser at all. It's a "WebView", using the OS built-in webbrowser with a coat of paint.
This means it's Blink/Chromium on Android and Windows, and WebKit on iOS and macOS.
-
depends on the OS!
DuckDuckGo uses the default rendering engine of whatever OS you use it on, so webkit (also used by safari) on macOS and iOS and blink (also used by edge and chrome) on windows and android
even if it uses the same rendering engine on some platforms, it’s not based on chromium, so it’s not a chromium browser
-
Chromium.

Why would you use a Chinese browser?
-
what does the browser being Chinese have to do with anything?
-
You really don't see a problem installing software from an authoritarian regime that spies on basically everyone and everything and has 0 privacy protection?
-
the chinese government isn’t behind every software that’s made in china lol
like yea, opera is spyware, but so are chrome, safari and edge, and none of these are made in china
-
If you think the Chinese regime isn't using Opera as a potential attack vector then that's just naive. Browsers are very critical pieces of software infrastructure.
-
opera sure, but at that point, any proprietary software can be used as an attack vector by the government of the country the software is made in, that’s not specific to china
i don’t see why chrome or safari should be considered more trustworthy than opera just because they aren’t made in china
-
You really don't see the difference between a flawed democracy with laws and regulations and an authoritarian regime? Tankie talk much?
-
the USA is not a "flawed democracy", its an authoritarian regime that imposes its will on the world through imperialistic means
I don’t care to know if it’s better or worse than the chinese government, both are awful and both will get rid of you if they find you to be enough of a threat. fuck em both. fuck all governments really
