    Just leave opera before that

    To repost an old comment:

    Others said it’s spyware, but they are also loan scammers.

    I honestly don’t know what data this browser exfiltrates, or what else malicious it might do, but I don’t trust anyone this shady to run proprietary code on my devices. Scammers rarely respect any kind of boundaries.

      Yup, and if you want a browser made by some of the OG opera devs before it became what it is now, I really like https://vivaldi.com

      I use opera gx only for Youtube and FB. For everything else I got apps or my pc. Browser on PC is not Opera.

    Why do you use Opera? Let alone Opera GX? Do you need a “gaming” (???) browser on your phone?

      On my phone it is the least resource intensive browser. Also I am not as security fanatical as many people on the fediverse are. I got scripts for blocking trackers though.

        Gib Addresse, kriegst ein Handy mit Android 15+ und genug Ressourcen für FF.

          Bin bestimmt irgendwann in den nächsten sechs Monate wieder bei dir in der Gegend. Aktuell geht es noch. Aber langsam kommen die Altersprobleme. Hatte überlegt Shiftphone zu holen oder irgendwas wo custom OS haben kann.

            Es gibt auch Fairphones, die für ihre Reparierbarkeit bekannt sind. Übrigens kann man auch eine andere Betriebssystem als stock Android installieren.

                Yep, seht so aus. Ich wollte nur bekannt geben, dass Fairphones auch eine gute Option sind.

    Sounds like a feature, because there is no likeable content on FB. Therefore it’s safe to assume people hitting that little icon want to download it.

      There is some likeable content, but the crappy algorithm wants you to see reactionary boomer shit 80% of the time. Post in background was about various sexualities, picturing a hetero couple, a gay couple, a lesbian couple and what I assume is a couple where one person is possibly nonbinary. Rather wholesome. But after zuccs announcement, I am not having facebook to keep in touch with family in a far away country anymore. They should get Signal if they wanna keep in touch.
