Probably because nobody cares about Opera doing that since the ones pointing this out are at least privacy aware people that won’t use Opera. It is also a problem when Brave does it because it is a “privacy focused” browser. They sure have the balls to do this.
Opera was also 100% up front about it and sold it as a feature. They didn’t sneak it into installers and crap. IMO that’s the issue, the lack of communication.
Opera does this too and nobody bats an eye (anymore).
For some reason people like to clown on Brave specifically.

When was the last time you read any posts from privacy communities? Firefox is usually what people suggest and noobs talk about Brave.

Sounded nasty so I looked out up. Seems it wasn’t intentional.
