I don’t care about Opera or what happens to it, it’s just a tool that I use.

I will keep using it until it shuts down and find another Chromium fork. I use Opera only because it loads pages faster than Chrome for whatever reason. If that would not be bad enough already, Hindenburg Research's analysis suggests that Opera's CEO is directing company cash into businesses owned by the Chairman to 'draw out cash'. The company concludes that these applications may be removed by Google at any time which in turn would cause Opera Software to lose a large part of the company's revenue.Īccording to Hindenburg, Opera generates 'over 42% of the company's revenue' from its short-term loan business.

The bulk of Opera's lending business is operated through applications offered on Google's Play Store according to Hindenburg Research and in 'violation of numerous Google rules'. It uncovered that Opera's CEO 'was recently involved in a Chinese lending business' that saw its shares plunge by more than '80% in two years' and that Opera has started to make a 'similar and dramatic pivot into predatory short-term loans in Africa and India'. Epic's proxy does not log anything - though it is not private-by-design unlike the TOR network - we continue to use our encrypted proxy instead of TOR because it's much much faster and more secure (2-3% of TOR's exit nodes have been found to be malicious).Hindenburg Research's analysis of Opera Software's performance and activity since the management change. Epic never records your history except for tab forward/back so that after a tab is closed, there is no record on your system of having visited that particular web page (that site may have stored cookies to log you in which are deleted upon closing Epic). Autofill in the Epic Privacy Browser is done via a local database so Epic never sends what you type in the address bar to any server. For this reason, Epic does not use any web services.

We believe that you should not have to trust us with your data - rather we should not have access to your data to the maximum extent possible. If you turn on Epic's encrypted proxy, you have protection from snooping by hackers, trackers, your ISP, government, and employer as well. Epic is in always-on 'private browsing mode', so on close of Epic all browsing data is deleted (while you're browsing as little as possible is stored).Įpic has removed all Google tracking and blocks hundreds of other companies from tracking you. The Epic Privacy Browser is first web browser built on Chromium (like Google's Chrome browser) engineered to protect your privacy.
